A Mandarin-language CIA video appealing to informants, shared Wednesday on YouTube, was careful to note that “your safety and wellbeing is our foremost consideration.”
Until Trump gets in, and sells your identity back to your government in exchange for a hot dog.

Yeah I don’t even think it’s until Trump gets in, the US famously burned tons of Afghan and Iraqi interpreters, leaving them to violence and death, being treated as traitors. They were told they’d be first in line to get out of the country but that… never happened.
But you’re right about exchanging them for a hot dog, Trump is somehow even worse than the most craven US administrations.

It’s part of a longstanding tradition of abandoning our less powerful allies once their usefulness to us is at an end. Our South Vietnamese friends, then the Afghans, then the Kurds, the Iraqis, the Afghans again, and now I’m sure there are some people in Syria whose day is coming due.
The difference is that Trump is planning to do it to everyone, on purpose, before their usefulness is even at an end, for no reason at all. Not just people who were forced into their alliance in a desperate time of need, but people who were doing perfectly fine in their civil society in whatever corner of the world, who opted on their own to help us out, are now going to be getting killed because they did. Maybe along with their families.

I never understood that. Nobody is going to want to work with America again in the future. They proved they can’t be trusted. Seemed pretty short-sighted when they’ll eventually need assistance again in the future

Oh, I know. We’re slowly dismantling every system that gave the US a good name in the world.
They probably think if they kill all the witnesses nobody would tell on em 😵😵

If I ever wanted to fight against my local regime, it would definitely not be through US and CIA, lol.

Think about how powerful people in US treat the working class... now think how they would treat some poor 3 world what in their eyes is not even really a human, just a toy...
