About six months ago, the Biden administration oversaw the withdrawal from Afghanistan. It was a total disaster and Americans were left behind.
American soldiers were killed by a suicide bomber in the days that followed.
Now the State Department is ordering embassy personnel in Ukraine to prepare for evactuation as it increasingly looks like Russia is going to invade.
FOX News reports:
Families of US Embassy personnel in Ukraine ordered to begin evacuating as soon as Monday: officials
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.
Late Friday night, the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine announced the first shipment of ammunition had arrived as directed by President Biden.
U.S. officials say small arms ammunition constitute the bulk of the 200,000 pounds of what the State Department is calling lethal aid – needed by Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines. U.S. officials also tell Fox that Javelin anti-tank missiles are expected to arrive early next week from the Baltic states and from U.S. military stockpiles.
This seems eerily familiar.

Biden was on vacation as Afghanistan fell to the Taliban.
Now as the State Department orders Americans to evacuate Ukraine, he is back on vacation.

If this goes badly, there is going to be hell to pay.
Americans will not take kindly to two evacuation blunders in less than a year.
