Benghazi?
Ric Grenell is right.
This will be Afghanistan II. If you think Biteme-—and DemoKKKrat-—poll numbers are low now,
hold muh Diet A&W.
” Biden will then declare a national emergency and declare Marshal Law.”
Martial Law. But I get your point.
If Americans have not decamped the Ukraine on their own by now, then they deserve whatever comes next.
>> I suspect that author knows that Russia WILL invade. <<
Well, that certainly is the presumption the author wishes to leave you with. Talk about disposable authority, though: he wants us to BELIEVE he knows what he’s talking about, hoping that if correct, we’ll give him authority... but doesn’t directly SAY it, so if nothing happens, he’s not proven wrong. This isn’t news analysis; this is fortune-telling crap.
Didn’t you read the first sentence of the article? About this (supposedly) being Afghanistan 2.0?
I don’t even think that this administration could even evacuate Catilina.
All resources for evacuating Americans out of war zones is being expended on importing illegals all over the United States.
Nobody needs to evacuate.
The security situation in Ukraine has been heightened since so-called “Russian separatists” occupied a portion of eastern Ukraine.
And yet in all these years since then the state department has made no contingency plans for evacuating American citizens from Ukraine, and we are talking, for the most part, about state department bureaucrats sitting in place since before the 2016 elections.
After 2024 we meed a four year suspension of all civil service rules for all federal employees, permitting any federal employee to be fired without cause.
I haven’t read or heard of Ukrainians rushing the Polish borders. It seems the Ukrainians are not that concerned.
I have a good friend in Kiev. She may be able to provide me more info. on what’s REALLY going on.
An invasion of the unvaccinated.
I suspect that author knows that Russia WILL invade.

There are no Russian field hospitals in the area yet. Until they arrive, if they do, no Russians will go into combat.
Yes. All we need now is for Slow Joe to order a Predator drone to fire a missile to kill a bunch of Ukrainian kids on our way out. Joe will turn this whole situation into a European-sized cluster*uck in no time at all.
Why Joe is so incredibly stupid:
1) Russia’s desire for Crimea was a unique situation and should be seen as such. Crimea was always part of Russian before 1990, going back centuries (except for a few, brief Turkish occupations). It joined with Ukraine simply because it left the Soviet Union before Russia did (no, Russia was not the Soviet Union and was not the last country out of it) and agreed to be part of Ukraine because Ukraine signed a treaty giving them all-but-complete autonomy. Then Poroshenko shredded that agreement, and then went for total cultural genocide in Crimea. So, yes, 95% of Crimeans voted that they wanted to be Russia before Russia put any Russian uniforms in Crimea. (There were definitely military agents of Russia.)
2) Responsibility for Kiev would be disastrous for Moscow. Putin is not an idiot, and presumably recognizes this.
3) Russia could very well have some interest in the Donbas.
4) While the Donbas’s population is also 95% Russian, Ukraine’s ownership of the Donbas IS totally legitimate.
5) When the Donbas tried to secede, the same Soros-backed Nazi dictator who tried to commit CULTURAL genocide in Crimea, turned to a total-war policy which makes it impossible to imagine the Donbas ever being part of the same nation as Ukraine.
6) Criticizing Poroshenko does not absolve Yanukovich of his wrong-doing, but we need to recognize that Crimeans and the people of Donbas aren’t simply unpatriotic insurgent puppets (although there ARE Russians in Donbas!)
7) There are 5 outcomes possible for the Donbas:
i. Frozen state in perpetual war, like the Trans-Dneiper;
ii. Russian territory
iii. Russian-dominated pseudo-state
iv. Independent state
v. New Guy in Ukraine (Zelensky or like-minded successors) negotiates peace and the Donbas becomes a semi-autonomous nation with Ukraine... but dayum, this is going to be hard because of Soros’ Nazi dictator, Poroshenko.
8) U.S. policy should be to press for (iv.), but be willing to negotiate for (v.) to avoid (iii.)
9) Kiev can’t openly advocate to be stripped of its territory; the politics and optics of that would be disastrous. But the Donbas is a disaster for Kiev that will forever prevent it from moving on. So, we should keep in mind (8) while we figure out how to achieve (v.) or (iv.)
We are importing and positioning into multiple blue cities tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of afghan and central american illegals.
But we can’t get our own people out of Ukraine.
Obama is definitely running the show. Even Psaki confirmed it.
Confused Ukraine Calls Biden Diplomatic Pullout ‘Premature,’ ‘Excessive’
Concern for Ukraine escalated last week after President Joe Biden announced that his administration would not intervene in the event of Russia committing a “minor incursion” into Ukraine and appearing resigned to Russian leader Vladimir Putin inevitably seizing the country. The Ukrainian government refuted Biden’s bizarre comments. In a speech last week, President Volodymyr Zelensky assured his people that the risks of Russian invasion “have existed for more than a year, and they haven’t increased” recently, contrary to Biden’s comments.
The risk of a full Russian invasion of Ukraine increased last year when Biden chose to lift sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project, which will connect Russia to Germany and grant the Putin regime unfettered access to the Western European natural gas market. While much of Washington, DC, debates the hypothetical of American military action in Ukraine, Zelensky has spent much of the past year encouraging Washington to simply restore the Trump-era sanctions on the pipeline before it produces windfall profits that could fund an invasion.
Jimmy Carter is having his eulogy rewritten, as we speak.
Shades of Afghanistan all over again.
