If you are an American citizen living in Ukraine, you might want to start packing your bags.
President Biden told NBC News anchor Lester Holt that if Russia invades Ukraine any Americans left behind will be trapped.
Biden stated that he wouldn’t send American troops into Ukraine to get American citizens out if Russia invades, it wouldn’t be possible to do so and to find people and that he’s “hoping” if Putin does invade, “he’s smart enough not to, in fact, do anything that would negatively impact on American citizens.”
Host Lester Holt asked, “What scenarios would you put American troops to rescue and get Americans out?”
Biden answered, “There’s not. That’s a world war, when Americans and Russians start shooting at one another. We’re in a very different world than we’ve ever been in.”
Holt then asked, “Not even on behalf of simply evacuating Americans?”
Biden responded, “No. How do you do that? How do you even find them? This is not like — I’m hoping that if, in fact, he’s foolish enough to go in, he’s smart enough not to, in fact, do anything that would negatively impact on American citizens.”
Holt then asked Biden if he’s told Putin that.
Biden initially responded that he had, but when Holt followed up, Biden said, “I didn’t have to tell him that. I’ve spoken about that. He knows that. And it’s a little bit — look, that’s — what I’ve asked is American citizens should leave, should leave now. We’re dealing with one of the largest armies in the world. This is a very different situation, and things could go crazy quickly.”
“We’re dealing with one of the largest armies in the world. This is a very different situation, and things could go crazy quickly.”
In fact, it is about 15% of the size it was in 1988. It is the 5th largest behind China, India, us, and North Korea. The Russian army is slightly bigger than Pakistan, Iran and South Korea’s. Considering their size, their Army is rather small. But don’t let that get in the way of a good story Joe.
Can anyone think of a single positive quality upon which Biden can be relied? Anyone? Anything?
Hell even reverend Jim on taxi would probably do a better job.
Biden’s war not going well Putin sends thank you note for pipe line.
Our military needs to be on our southern border.
We're being invaded. But sadly that's what the Democrats want.
A new class of dependents to use for votes.
