"American citizens should leave [Ukraine] now," Biden told NBC. “It’s not like we’re dealing with a terrorist organization. We’re dealing with one of the largest armies in the world. It’s a very different situation and things could go crazy quickly.”

Biden warns Americans in Ukraine to leave, says sending troops to evacuate would be 'world war'

President Joe Biden sat down for a wide-ranging interview with NBC News, discussing Russia-Ukraine, mask mandates and his Supreme Court nomination process.

Asked what scenario could prompt him to send troops to rescue Americans fleeing the country, Biden replied: “There’s not. That's a world war when Americans and Russia start shooting at one another.”

Americans were instructed to leave weeks ago. Other than those on official business, why are there Americans remaining? And, why do they expect to be rescued?

Americans stubbornly remained in AFG even after State on multiple occasions advised them to leave. Americans are again ignoring the warning to leave Ukraine. Military will not be there to rescue them. State warned. Defense warned. POTUS warned TWICE.

I’m one of the Americans in Ukraine. What’s the big deal? I could just take a train or taxi.

It is. Totally honest.

Replying to

@NatashaBertrand

I don’t disagree, but I wonder how similar the impact will be with, in the event of a RUS invasion, the thousands of eventual viral TikTok videos of US-supplied Stingers downing RUS aircraft. Body bags are body bags.

Not like there’s any deniability should those events take place. I know there is a difference between the two things overall - but thinking adversarially how different would the result actually be for RUS

Get out while you can or face the consequences of your decision. America is not rescuing you nor should we.

I have to say, I think it's good that Joe is reminding folks that the US and Russia can't get in a direct shooting war with each other. It sometimes seems like folks forgot that

After Afghanistan, is it really necessary to ask that?
