With the evacuation of the U.S. embassy in Haiti last week, President Joe Biden extended his historic lead for fleeing embassies – a dubious distinction once held by Barack Obama.
That’s according to the Daily Signal, which dug into the records and found that as the world has slipped into chaos over the past three years, the U.S. has been forced to withdraw from embassy after embassy.
“Since Biden took office in January 2021, his State Department has partially or fully evacuated 11 U.S. embassies via what are known as authorized or ordered departure directives,” writes Tony Kinnett. The number is actually 14 if you count the fact that this is the fourth time Biden has ordered Americans to bolt from the U.S. embassy in Haiti.
Biden is now well ahead of Obama, who ran from eight embassies over his eight years in office (which included those in Egypt, Libya, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and South Sudan). During Donald Trump’s term, only three embassies were evacuated, Kinnett reports.
The Biden embassy evacuation timeline:
- Burma, March 2021
- Chad, April 2021
- Afghanistan, July 2021
- Ethiopia, November 2021
- Ukraine, February 2022
- Belarus, February 2022 Russia, February 2022
- Nigeria, October 2022
- Sudan, April 2023
- Niger, August 2023
- Haiti, November 2021, December 2022, July 2023, March 2024
This record of failure is particularly noteworthy given that Biden bumbled his way into office promising to “restore America’s standing in the world,” which is still listed on a White House website as an “immediate priority” of his administration.
Biden also specifically promised to help Haiti. As Time magazine reported a couple of years ago:
“President Joe Biden was a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump’s Haiti policies. While courting the Haitian-American vote in Miami during his 2020 campaign, he accused Trump of ‘abandoning the Haitian people while the country’s political crisis is paralyzing that nation.’”
He then proceeded to dump tens of millions of dollars on the Haitian government, including $65 million last fall, which his administration said would bolster the Haitian police capacity to dismantle the nation’s gangs.
Does anyone think that running away from embassies around the world – while often leaving Americans stranded behind – counts as “restoring America’s standing in the world”?
We can hear the response from Biden defenders. They will say, well, there’s violence erupting around the world, so prudence demands such actions. Which is true, but it overlooks the connection between Biden’s projection of abject weakness and the rise of international conflicts.
It is no coincidence that America is increasingly under attack since Biden took office – from the 13 soldiers murdered during his bungled Afghan withdrawal to the deadly attacks against U.S. forces stationed in Iraq, to the increase in cyberattacks coming from China.
Nor is it a coincidence that 21 armed conflicts have started since Biden took office, and the number of deaths from armed conflicts shot up by 176% from 2020 to 2022, as we noted in this space a couple of months ago.
If you want to restore America’s standing in the world, the only way to do it is to kick Biden and his confederacy of dunces out of the White House.
That’s not a joke, man.
Now they can’t fly their fag flags
I'll bet Barbecue the cannibal has a nice new G-Wagon by now.
Never underestimate Joe’s ability to f things up.

I know. When are we gonna resume the hardcore imperialism so we carm Pride flags down everyone’s throat again? This article seems to be whining that just such an event isn’t happening.
Sorry. I don’t know that it really matters if some of the listed embassies were closed. In fact in every instance it seems the local situation was the cause of the closings. Are the authors suggesting the U.S. was supposed to go in and shore up the domestic situation in Burma, Chad, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Belarus, Nigeria, Sudan, Niger and Haiti??? As far as Russia and Ukraine we can thank Putin for that.
Pull out of every $hito!e in the world. Now that’s a different kind of foreign policy.

Without his help of course.
I tried to leave a blank box as my post. Because a blank box is how much good conservative’s/patriots pleading and observations are making against the overthrow and collapse of America. But the software will not allow a blank box. Hence, my protest. But it’s meaningless. As are all the protests/posts on FR.
