Why do people think their situation will become better if they wait? Law enforcement broadcasts tell people to leave before a hurricane yet they will wait until it hits. Then they will plead for rescue. People knew for months the allies were going to leave Afghanistan but didn’t try to leave until the last few days. Officials are always blamed for the stupidity of those who don’t “git while the gittin’s good.”

            Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have been leaving the Ukrainian cities every day because they were told what was going to happen. However many millions have stayed and are hoping they can leave after their city is surrounded and being shelled. Where in Putin’s history would these people think he would care about them? It just isn’t in the Russian way of fighting a war. Flattening the city being attacked and killing the civilians was Russia’s way of war against the Nazis and in every war since.

            As I watch the old and infirm trying to get out of Kyiv after being shelled for days, I wonder where they will now go since the buses and trains are being stopped. Why did they wait? How many Americans have stayed figuring American troops will come to get them? The Ukraine War isn’t a movie. The bad guys will win after thousands more of those people who should have left die. Thousands of American citizens are still there and will soon want to evacuate. They will want Biden to get them out and he won’t. It’s their stupidity to have stayed – just like in Afghanistan.
