BREAKING: U.S. Not in Position to Evacuate Citizens From Ukraine, State Dept. Warns

Ukraine is about to become Afghanistan 2.0 for Americans hoping to evacuate.

Fox News Channel is reporting that the Biden Administration will not be able to evacuate U.S. citizens from Ukraine.

“Given that the President has said military action by Russia could come at any time. The US government will not be in a position to evacuate US citizens. So US citizens, currently present in Ukraine should plan accordingly.” Arrange commercial flights,” a State Dept. official is quoted as saying on a phone call.

The announcement is reminiscent of the administration’s feckless handling of the evacuation of Afghanistan — when thousands of Americans were trapped behind enemy lines.

“We’ve authorized the departure of some US government employees, but we have ordered the departure of all family members of US government employees at our Embassy in Kiev. The State Department has also elevated our travel advisory for Ukraine to level four,” the State Dept. official said.

It sounds like he’s saying any US citizen stuck in Ukraine is on his own.

Which is strange...I’m not fluent in Ukrainian or Russian but I did visit in 2016 and 2017 - I saw a strange commercial - it looked like they had an apartment building exclusively for US Democrat expatriates and then one exclusively for US Republican expatriates.

We learn from current events that we don’t learn from current events.

Brandon hasn’t been punished for Afghanistan, so why should this matter?

If you are an U.S. Citizen and you did not get on a flight 24 hours ago, you're an idiot and we should not help you.

I think there's a chance that Russia will do nothing. Just probing Brandon's weakness.

After Afghanistan, any American who is still in an overseas post even remotely close to a conflict (measured by either time or distance) should have put together a pretty solid Plan B by now, even if that means having purchased a plane ticket with nationals from another NATO country.

The Biden Administration might leave Americans behind, but the British, the French, and the Germans will move mountains to get their people out.

(After we pulled out the rug from them in Afghanistan, it's a safe bet that these countries no longer rely on the Americans to conduct something as simple as a non-combat evacuation.)

Our diplomats in Kiev? Hell, from the looks of the first impeachment trial, half of them were probably FROM there. They could just drop in on their families. Go by Vindman’s house for starters.

If it would help keep his buddies the rats in office next election, Putin might be willing to just put on a show to make Biden look good and then at least appear to back down for power behind the scenes. Or, he might feel regaining Ukraine is worth having to face Trump in the future. A bird in the hand being worth more than two still in the bushes....

I fixed it for you.

It’s not Afghanistan and not a difficult drive to Chișinău or Minsk or somewhere closer within Moldova or Belarus. Or just head west toward Slovakia. The Russians are not going to be on a civilian killing spree. People just need to get away from whatever fighting might happen.

Enough of the shit. Demand the removal of resident Biden immediately. How fall will America have to fall before Republicans admit the mistake they made when they betrayed President Trump and allowed the POS that is there now to steal 2020.
