were flown out by our allies. Canada and Germany are done with evacuations. There may be others that are done but I haven't looked.

Quite a few have been flown out by the numbers, ssems like well over 100,00 and that doesn't include what the NGOs have done. Now I just saw Mr. Sanger on that Mitchell show and he said he knows tens of thousands who haven't made it out yet. Surely that is hyperbole.

The pro MIC coverage in the US is alarming - nothing would make me watch that Mitchell woman.
