You’re On Your Own: State Dept. to Americans in Ukraine
https://www.toddstarnes.com ^ | 24 FEBRUARY 2022 | Staff

Posted on 02/24/2022 7:42:26 AM PST by Red Badger

The State Department issued a security alert early Thursday morning reminding Americans in Ukraine that the United States will not be helping citizens evacuate.

The announcement to “remain vigilant and take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness” echoes the Biden administration’s response to the chaos in Afghanistan when the Taliban took over last year.

“The U.S. government will not be able to evacuate U.S. citizens from Ukraine,” the warning read.

“Know the location of your closest shelter or protected space,” the department told Americans.

“In the event of mortar and/or rocket fire, follow the instructions from local authorities and seek shelter immediately,” it added. “If you feel that your current location is no longer safe, you should carefully assess the potential risks involved in moving to a different location.”

National radio host Todd Starnes slammed Biden for the announcement.

“State Dept. tells Americans in Ukraine that they are on their own,” Starnes tweeted. “Biden leaves everyone behind.”

Correct me if I’m wrong. The current government of Ukraine is the one that came to power through the 2014 coup de tat with the support of the globalist cult. Those demonstrating for Ukraine today have been fed anti Russia propaganda by this regime. Putin wants this regime gone and for NATO to stay away.

We won’t help you get out of a war zone, but we will help ILLEGALS get into our country with no problem.

They were given enough notice to leave. Do you expect our soldiers to risk their lives saving them?

So what’s new? Being a U.S. citizen has been denigrated by the commie “dummocrap” party. They only see us as an ATM machine for their idiotic wild-eyed fantasies and income redistribution to a bunch of illegal criminal invaders. They take no measures to protect us, turning our military into a bunch of freaks and puffballs in the name of social justice, leaving us behind in dangerous situations, forcing us to take dangerous “vaccines”, etc.

The State Dept needs to be shuttered and everyone employed there banned from working in government anywhere and at any level. Rebuild it from scratch with ordinary Americans picked from the phone book in rural America.

So American citizens are once again left without any kind of aid or assistance in a foreign land descending into violence. Just like Biden and his State Dept. did in Afghanistan. Check.

Meanwhile foreign invaders streaming across the southern border are given 3 hots and a cot, even flown to various destinations in the US. Check.

There is something very, very wrong with the illegal government now operating in DC. We are in-effect an occupied country. We are not being governed by Americans. Those in power obviously have someone else's best interests in mind.

The only reasons would be for the hot women or to launder illegal proceeds, beyond that, the Ukraine has nothing else to offer.

After the stunning success of our Afghanistan evacuation, why not re-use the same operational template for Ukraine?

Oh! Remember, you can’t evacuate a war zone unless you are fully vaxed and boosted.. per US State Dept.

Sorry, and as much as I hate the demoncraps and Joe Biden, Americans were warned 2 weeks ago to leave the Ukraine.

Woke or Awake? The Biden regime has displayed weakness for over a year. Putin knew his boots were made for walking.
Now China eyes Taiwan. American citizens will pay for rising costs and giving up energy independence. Our weak leadership is on display jeopardizing safety and freedom throughout the world.

They have been warning U.S. citizens to leave the country for a couple of weeks now. Hard for the government to do anything now that the war has broken out.
