You’re On Your Own: State Dept. to Americans in Ukraine

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.”

Biden’s State Dept is a joke. It should be disbanded.

Makes you wonder how many “Ukrainians” Biden has been flying out of there already.

I didn’t expect anything else from this administration.

If they were in office in the past, the Iranian hostages would still be in Iran.

How many different times and in how many different ways did Biden give Putin his promise the US would stand aside? Too many to count, right?

Coincidentally, that’s the same answer to the “How many different ways does Putin own Joe and Hunter Biden?” question that no one in the media dares ask.

So, instead, we get an education as we watch and learn and see how it’s done old world, old school where ownership has its privileges.

Yes, indeed, and it’s good to know that we can be absolutely certain the 2020 election was squeaky clean and corruption-free, right? No old world or third world nonsense here. That’s not us.

So, we know for certain that at least 81 million Americans voted for old world, old school pwned old Joe.

Uh huh. Yeah, sure they did.
