Ukraine is about to become Afghanistan 2.0 for Americans hoping to evacuate.
Fox News Channel is reporting that the Biden Administration will not be able to evacuate U.S. citizens from Ukraine.
“Given that the President has said military action by Russia could come at any time. The US government will not be in a position to evacuate US citizens. So US citizens, currently present in Ukraine should plan accordingly.” Arrange commercial flights,” a State Dept. official is quoted as saying on a phone call.
The announcement is reminiscent of the administration’s feckless handling of the evacuation of Afghanistan — when thousands of Americans were trapped behind enemy lines.
“We’ve authorized the departure of some US government employees, but we have ordered the departure of all family members of US government employees at our Embassy in Kiev. The State Department has also elevated our travel advisory for Ukraine to level four,” the State Dept. official said.

What a crock of BS. Our Air Force can fly out Americans on a few C17 troop transport planes. We could have done the same thing in Afghanistan prior to surrendering to the taliban.
Given that Alaska is a former possession of Russia, Freepers there might want to be circumspect about taking out real estate loans where they may be held personally liable.
None of this crap would be happening under a Trump administration.
Yep, I did. Autocorrect strikes again. I could swear there are times when even though I double check a word and find it to be correct, that Autocorrect still changes it just before I send it just to spite me. It’s evil, I tell you.
My thought as well
Ive seen the dems get a pass to let a LOT of sht slide since 2016...but less of that has been happening in the last 6 months its seems to me. Brandon is crumbling and many key supports around him are crumbling too. I got a sick pit in my stomach that something big is about to go down. The dems DID plan for stuff LIKE this to happen...but I dont think this serious and this soon. I really dont think Soros saw this ugly stuff coming either and he’s likely wishing he’d pulled back some. But its too late for that now.
I can’t see how Putin gets out of this without taking some action. He has Biden in office, so he knows that, probably from some up to the minute intel, that Biden intends to do nothing.
Being stranded half way across the world in a hot conflict is 1000 times better than mean tweets any day of the week.
Democrat leadership. Name one big city with a Dim mayor that is doing well.
Whatta bout evacuating Citizens from NYC?
Too late to save those left behind. They are doomed to live under extremest occupation forces.
Why do you believe Trump would oppose a Russian conquest and annexation of Ukraine, at least up to the Dnieper River line?
I don’t.
And not because of RussiaRussiaRussia.
First: Reversing Wilsonian interference in the former empires of Europe and the Middle East is in the national interest of the US.
Second: The leading pro-Ukraine neocons were among the worst NeverTrumpers, and payback’s a bitch.
Third: There is no reason for the US to support and defend Stalin’s annexation to Ukraine of Eastern Poland and Slovakia.
You know, secure airports and controlled departures...
You’d think we had a weak President or something...
Did he do that in response to the Afghanistan disaster they created?
We're taking care of our own. Sorry US citizens, you're on your own.
The Ukraine girls really knock me out,
They leave the West behind
Back in the USSR
Here we go again.

This is how the Biden family pays off all of its Russian quid pro quo bribes.
US Citizens will be kidnapped and used as hostages to obtain concessions from NATO and the USA?
There really is something wrong. Oh..........I know.....Biden is not really president of the USA!He is an illegitimate president not elected by The People.So Biden does not give a sh*t about Americans anywhere .
428 miles from Kiev to the Polish border. Drive. Leave now
With the US in its current state of abject weakness, there's never been a more opportune time for our enemies to push for their objectives. Both Putin, Xi and the Iranian mullahs know Biden is wayyyy too feeble to mount any kind of actual response. If the Russians' true intention is to invade (remember, they've done it before), they'll do it.
