Olivia Troye worked as the homeland security and counterterrorism adviser to Vice President Mike Pence. In aĀ Twitter threadĀ Friday, she blasted the Trump administration for its handling of the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) programs that provide a path to US residency for locals who worked with the US government in Afghanistan.
“There were cabinet mtgs about this during the Trump Admin where Stephen Miller would peddle his racist hysteria about Iraq & Afghanistan. He & his enablers across gov’t would undermine anyone who worked on solving the SIV issue by devastating the system at DHS & State,” Troye wrote.

The U.S. ignored corruption within the Afghan government. Did that lead to its fall?
As the Taliban faces protests and dissent across Afghanistan, William Brangham explores the collapse of the country’s government ā built and supported by the U.S. and allies for 20 years. For a deeper perspective, Brangham speaks with Sarah Chayes, who covered the fall of the Taliban after 9/11 for NPR and served as advisor to several senior U.S. military commanders in Afghanistan.
āForecasters are currently anticipating Henri to make landfall in eastern Long Island during the late-morning hours of Sunday.ā
And just like that, the spotlight will be off of Afghanistan and covid and everything else thatās importantā¦for a few days.
Is there a way to send in troops to draw the Taliban away from Kabul and extract more folks? What about the other provinces that fell? Did we have helpers there, as well?
The withdrawal from Afghanistan is a serious cluster-f. However, a gross miscalculation by military leaders, and, the subsequent decision by the Commander-In-Chief is just a serous mistake.
On the other hand, former CIC, Orange Adolf, attempting to overthrow our own government both internally and by use of force on January 6th, was a crime.
Moscow Mitch and any other Republican trying to use Afghanistan against POTUS Joe/Dems should be met with their own words and actions which supported the attempted overthrowing of our government by a grifting, delusional narcissist.

(CNN)The US military is establishing “alternative routes” to Kabul airport because of a threat the terror group ISIS-K poses to the airport and its surroundings, as President Joe Biden met with senior officials Saturday to discuss the securityĀ situation in AfghanistanĀ and counter-terrorism operations against the Islamic State offshoot.
“There is a strong possibility ISIS-K is trying to carry off an attack at the airport,” a US defense official told CNN. A senior diplomat in Kabul said they are aware of a credible but not immediate threat by Islamic State against Americans at Hamid Karzai International Airport.
Two US defense officials described the military effort to establish “alternative routes” for people to get to Kabul airport and its access gates, with one saying these new routes will be available to Americans, third party nationals and qualified Afghans.
The Taliban are aware of the new effort and are coordinating with the US, one of the officials said.
