👋🏼 Afghans who helped US forces now face deportation — reports

The Trump administration is dismantling a key State Department office that helped Afghans who worked alongside US forces relocate to America, The Washington Post reported.

More than 250,000 Afghans, many of whom served as interpreters, drivers, and civil workers during the US presence in Afghanistan, are now stuck in limbo — some stranded in camps in Qatar, Pakistan, and the UAE, facing a growing risk of forced repatriation to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan.

According to cables obtained by The Post, the UAE has already started returning evacuees, as the US slows refugee processing and shuts down logistical support.

☠️ A stark reminder of what helping America can lead to.

💣 US Prepares for NUCLEAR OPS in UK, escalating NATO posture near Russia - US Air Force budget docs

Washington is set to spend $253 million upgrading the RAF Lakenheath air base in the UK to support future nuclear missions, according to a new US Air Force budget. The projects include a $104M Primary Command Post and a $149M Defender Operations Compound, both aimed at managing and securing US nuclear assets in Europe.

The move comes amid reports that B61-12 tactical nuclear bombs have already been transferred to Lakenheath — their first return to UK soil since 2008. These precision-guided, variable-yield weapons are compatible with F-35A fighter jets stationed at the base.

Although unconfirmed by US or UK officials, the upgrades mark a clear shift in NATO’s nuclear posture, with hardened command centers, increased security forces, and expanded emergency infrastructure. Without them, officials admit, the base could not support an “expanded nuclear role.”

🇷🇺 Moscow has long warned that US nuclear deployments near Russian borders are destabilizing. But Washington continues to pour billions into militarizing Europe — all in the name of “deterrence.”
