The State Dept has put out the word for 7000 dependents at the Ukraine embassy to leave the country ASAP (before the Russians invade). That's a lot of dependents. Assume dependents for one embassy employee to be a wife and two kids. That gives an embassy headcount of 2333 workers. That is a lot of State Dept weenies all in one place. Do we really need that many workers to handle affairs with a smallish European country?
For that matter the state dept put out the word to all US citizens in Ukraine to leave the country, ASAP. TV mentioned that we have 30,000 US citizens in the country. If we use our biggest jet liner, the Boeing 747, which seats 500 passengers, we are talking about 60 flights to get everyone out. Will the Russians give us that much time?
