Pompeo Makes Surprise Visit to Afghanistan
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has made a surprise visit to Afghanistan. The move comes as a surprise as the United States focuses on fighting back against the coronavirus.
According to The Hill:
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made an unannounced trip to Afghanistan on Monday in an effort to end a political crisis that has stalled U.S. efforts to end the war there.
AdvertisementPompeo’s trip came even as most official government travel has been canceled amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Pompeo met with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and Ghani’s chief rival, Abdullah Abdullah, who have been locked in a power struggle since Afghanistan’s September elections.
Afghanistan’s election commission declared Ghani the winner of the elections last month, but Abdullah continues to dispute the results. Ghani and Abdullah held dueling inauguration ceremonies earlier this month, and Abdullah has vowed to form a parallel government.

This message was delivered to the POTUS today 3/23/2020 via Federal channels. Question is, WHO are WE going to sue for this debacle? National Class Action against?
“Mr. President; YOU MUST tell American Citizens the truth about ‘The Pilgrams Society’, its connection to ‘The Crown’, George Soros’ connection to the release of The ‘novel’ Corona virus, and The Patent which is held for the virus’ manufacture and was financed by The Crown. The word is out! If China was involved it was simply their refusal to sound the alarm early. WE have people doing research around the clock out here. WE will not be usurped and have our Constitutional Rights STRIPPED from US because of a criminally, deceitful act perpetrated by members of The New World Order! You have been advised Mr. President.”
