It's 9:15 a.m. and Bryan Stern is waiting outside a Kyiv hospital. The sound of shelling in the distance forces him and his team to hurry. They need to get two premature babies into an ambulance and out of the besieged Ukrainian capital.

This is Operation Gemini, named for the American twins he has been tasked with evacuating.

Actually, making snap pronouncements with no evidence means you are no better, but perhaps even worse, than the news source.

Plenty of evidence for this over the years. It’s a running joke about the NYT, and I don’t see why NPR should be different.

And in any case, it was stated with tongue half-in-cheek.

It seems that Ukraine has killed the humor center in many conservatives’ brains.

Being a paranoid ass is not humorous.

This premature evacuation didn’t stain America’s image.

The father and one of the rescuers was just interviewed on TV. Remarkable story.
