If it wasn't for the disaster in Kabul, I'd agree with you. This admin has proven it will screw people. There were Americans who wanted to get out, including Fed employees. There were private groups with planes on the ground ready to get them out but some of those planes weren't allowed to take passengers, etc. etc. The state department f'ed it ALL up. And then droned a family for good measure.

I have no doubt there are some Americans who want to leave Ukraine but haven't been able to yet for reasons outside their control. Including those working for the Feds. Those are the people who need their country to help them. But instead of helping, their country just said "good luck on your own". I just can't believe they said that part out loud.
