The State Department has ordered families of U.S. Embassy personnel in Ukraine to begin evacuating the country as soon as Monday, U.S. officials tell Fox News.

Next week, the State Department is also expected to encourage Americans to begin leaving Ukraine by commercial flights, "while those are still available," one official said.

Moscow has massed tens of thousands of troops at the border with Ukraine, leading to fears of an invasion.

Soros is a bigger threat to humanity than is Putin.

Biden is a bigger threat to humanity (certainly Americans) than Putin.

Watch out, folks. This is a diversion from the war in the Arabian Peninsula. I know he wants Ukraine, but why now exactly?

Best evidence yet that Putin is going to move and that the lines of communication are open between Putin and Biden’s handlers.

“As soon as...” is a weird way of ordering an evacuation.

Does that mean Americans in Ukraine can spend one last weekend walking in the park, going to a nice restaurant tonight, and tomorrow night?

But the MSM assured us that the international community would respect Biden and regard him as a strong leader.

I don’t believe Putin wants all of Ukraine (at least at this point and I have no evidence), but would stop at the Dnieper River and take the capitol, Kiev in the north, if war starts.

Or just annex the Donbass.

At least they won’t be left behind when Brandon pulls out of Kiev.

They are in no danger from Putin.

An agreement is in place and Putin is a straight dealer in when it comes to this kind of thing. Putin is mean as can be but does not want to be seen as a maniac. He wants Russia to be respected, feared and powerful without being a terror state. He knows how to walk the line and has for years.

Russia cannot afford (financially) to annex all of Ukraine.

Agreed about Putin here.

Putin is jettisoning the fiat dollar, exiting SWIFT and IMHO, heading straight for GESARA.

Which is really funny to me, in that Blinken is threatening as part of “sanctions” to eject Russia from SWIFT. That’s like giving Russia the Comfy Pillow!

So far Putin is running this show. Biden is clearly confused, off balance and attempting to play defense. His entire team is clueless.

This is like watching a little league team play against a major league team. It really is.

I’m telling you...Asshat Brandon IS going to get us into a war. It’s all he has left.

I wonder if that will be the last straw for all the “orange man bad” never Trumpers.

I’m betting most, if they had the guts to admit it, would relish mean tweets over what they foolishly voted for.

If they are not stupid, they are on a plane today.
