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.

Maybe they haven’t had time to deliver all the weapons that are to be given away.

Pelosi had Trump impeached for even asking about corruption in the Ukraine.

That bottle is about to blow.

If Putin is serious about regaining Ukraine, my guess is that he would annex eastern part of the country.

The government in Kiev would survive but the country would be much smaller.

USA would launch sanctions against Russia but that's about it. EU won't do anything because Germany depends on Russia for natural gas. They can shut off the pipeline then Germany will freeze in the middle of the winter.

Trump will win easily in 2024. Putin has to decide if that's worth it. Plus the possibility of guerilla warfare in Ukraine.

There are a lot of American Business Managers in Taiwan - a bunch just visited Columbus, Ohio - they are very under the radar on their escape plans.

Of Course...

They are “white Europeans”....

If they were Africans or South Americans or Asians or Indians we wouldn’t be able to get enough of them over here fast enough.

An aside:

The administration has used the word “severe” more than once regarding response to a possible Soviet incursion.

IIRC, “severe” in diplo-speak means shootin’, bombin’ and general mayhem.

With this bunch who knows.

Thats right. I dont see any problem here if they want to get out.

Which, if I was there, would be doing as of now.
