After his daring escape from Cuba to Spain in 1969, Armando Socarrás Ramírez faced potential repatriation due to pressure from the Cuban government. To avoid this, Spanish authorities advised him to leave the country. The International Rescue Committee (IRC) facilitated his relocation to the United States, assisting with the necessary arrangements and paperwork. This support enabled him to enter the U.S. legally, where he subsequently built a new life.

Vietnam did unfortunately mostly achieve the goal they set out for. To be clear the US did not put any effort a super power like itself could , into actually freeing Vietnam because the main goal was to antagonize the soviets without starting ww3 and Vietnam becoming a democracy was the secondary goal. To understand this look up our rules engagement for that war they were ridiculous. For example when flying by a base that had migs on the field, we couldn't destroy them because of the Russians who were training the nva could end up becoming casualties and again start ww3. Or how we couldn't destroy sam sites even if they had radar locked on to our plane's because we had to let them fire first, which just put our men at a disadvantage. All we did was waste lives .

[@G1NZOU]

It's not that they don't care, the US aircrew literally couldn't stop the plane and open the doors and take everyone, there were too many to load the plane with. The risk if they did stop and open the doors is the flight crew and pilots would get swarmed and then no one gets to leave, panicked people are dangerous.

if the guy with the rope harnessed his whole body and had suitable gear (cold weather gear + oxygen respirator) he would have made it. Whole premise of Skyhook is tying yourself to an aircraft. With the aforementioned gear, he could prevent freezing and asphyxiation.

Can you imagine being dumb enough to think you're going to stand on the outside of an aircraft and ride it back to some other airport climbing up to 30,000 feet? Acting as if it's some kind of makeshift boat going down a river they're gonna hang onto. There are dumb people and there are stupid people but this crew here takes the cake. Of course, maybe they were under the impression that climbing onto a military aircraft would force the pilots to stop the plane and let them aboard. Needless to say but that's not the way our military operates. Unbelievable

[@uio890138]

@@wcolby Trump had arranged a departure with the condition that the Taliban not display any offensive posture to the Afghan National Government. Or in his words "we will stay and bomb the hell outta you". Trump did that because he saw Afghanistan for what it was, a huge money making scheme by the Washington swamp and the military industrial complex with no planned end in sight. Your boy Biden had his hands tied there because Trump had included the UN in that agreement, so Joe couldn't stop the departure, all he could do was honor the agreed upon conditions. Well low and behold, Joe who has never been right on a single foreign affairs policy in his entire career starting getting a political high when he was told the American people wanted out of Afghanistan and supported the withdraw. It went to his head and he pulled us out so fast that it was a clown show. Hell, the Taliban started retaking territory when Joe took office 8 months before the debacle at the Kabul airport. Joe owns this mess.
