Just a few months ago, President Joe Biden committed the worst foreign policy blunder in recent memory by withdrawing American troops from Afghanistan before evacuating our citizens.
Predictably, the result was a panicked effort to try and evacuate as many United States citizens as possible amidst the Taliban takeover of the country. Five months later, some Americans remain stranded under the terrorist regime.
As Russia threatens to invade Ukraine and potentially start a conflict, the Biden administration sent a warning that sounded eerily similar to the Afghanistan disaster.
According to Just the News, the U.S. embassy in Ukraine issued a warning to American citizens there, saying the Biden administration will not be able to evacuate them in case of emergency.
“As President Biden has said, military action by Russia could come at any time and the United States government will not be in a position to evacuate American citizens in such a contingency, so U.S. citizens currently present in Ukraine should plan accordingly, including by availing themselves of commercial options should they choose to leave the country,” the embassy said.
This situation is a bit different from Afghanistan as the potential threat is due to Russia, not a direct decision from Biden himself. However, the end result is the same: The Biden administration has no plan to safely evacuate American citizens from a perilous situation.
While Biden cannot make decisions for Russia, he can make them for his own country. Instead of instituting a contingency plan for American citizens who face a potentially dangerous situation, he has ignored the signs Russia might be preparing to invade Ukraine.
Russia has been massing for weeks, and now the Biden administration is telling Americans stuck in #Ukraine that there’s nothing they can do to get them out.
This administration is criminally incompetent. https://t.co/2kcKAbC2Rc

“Russia has been massing for weeks, and now the Biden administration is telling Americans stuck in #Ukraine that there’s nothing they can do to get them out,” Heritage Foundation Media and Public Relations Director John Cooper wrote on Twitter. “This administration is criminally incompetent.”
The message from the embassy sets up the potential for the Biden administration’s second major foreign policy failure in less than six months, and Lone Conservative founder Kassy Dillon warned that we could be facing “Afghanistan Round 2.”

GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said even after the Afghanistan failure, Biden still was not taking foreign policy concerns seriously.
“Biden was on vacation as Afghanistan fell to the Taliban,” she wrote on Twitter. “Now as the State Department orders Americans to evacuate Ukraine, he is back on vacation.”

Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro took the sarcastic route in criticizing Biden’s second potential disaster in just five months.
“Probably he’ll get everyone out,” The Daily Wire editor emeritus wrote on Twitter. “I mean, it’s not like there are still Americans stuck in Afghanistan or something.”

While Biden’s failures have become so frequent that they are laughable, Americans who are stranded in dangerous countries do not have much to laugh about. The president’s utter incompetence in foreign policy is putting American citizens at grave risk.

He doesn’t get paid by china to rescue our own……
This administration is fake, and it’s operating like it is.
Biden is a total EMBARRASSMENT to the USA and WE THE PEOPLE…..AND to the entire FREE WORLD!
This has been going on for a week now. Tell people to leave, if nothing happens they can return after awhile. If Afgan happens again, Joe just might as well put a gun to his own head
he’d miss
If the american people have not figured out THIS administration is a domestic enemy of AMERICAN PEOPLE, ASSESTS, AND POLICIES so do NOT depend on them OR MAIN STREAM MEDIA to be helpful or truthful. You are on your own, FOR NOW.
sir you are suppose to be the leader of the free world so you are responsible to remove all US citizens in Ukraine whether political or contractor
He has forgotten Operation Dynamo in Dunkirk in 1940; to him all of the brave men and women of our armed forces are expendable.
Oh come on, Brandon is doing the best he can. Really, it really is the best he can. But on a side note, when Brandon surrenders to Russia and pulls out of Ukraine look at all the nice toys he will leave behind for Putin to reverse engineer to maybe use against us sometime in the future.
According to this article, I seem to be one of a very few unsurprised that Biden would leave Americans in a country where hostilities are about to break out. After Afghanistan and the rather iffy North Africa, I would have thought anyone expecting him to act like a president, is living in lala land.
Lala Land is where all Demo Rats and RINO’s call heaven it is their utopia.
Biden and Fauci should be executed Problems all solved. Take down the media also. All these idiots. Who leaves our people behind? These idiots are trying to start a war. The military should be doing their job for the People Biden knows what he’s doing get all our military shipped out then his friends from China march in here and take us. Don’t underestimate what’s really going on here. None of us are safe with the Biden administration leading our country. This is going way to far already.
Guess It’s Time For A New 21st Century POW/MIA Flag.?
CHEATER Joe Biden does not give a “damn for what happens to all American people, both foreign and domestic, which he shows each and every day”??? He also does not know what the HELL he is doing with our American foreign policy!!!! Looks like he is “kissing the asses of all of American foreign enemy leaders”!!!! He will sell our America out in a minute for a foreign bribe!!!! God Help us all!!!!!!!!
