Rich Welsh| What is it with the Biden administration and screwing over American citizens who have to scramble to get out of a foreign country because of a debacle created by Joe Biden?
On Saturday, the US State Department announced that American citizens who are fleeing Ukraine, because the Biden administration told them to leave, may enter into Poland, but they must present proof of COVID-19 vaccination in order to do so. Apparently, this dangerous stupidity is a Biden State Department mandate because Poland doesn’t require COVID vaccinations to enter their country. They require a negative test but the Biden administration had to slip in there that vaccination is required.
Biden left thousands of Americans behind in Afghanistan and lied about it by telling us the number was less than 100, after he completely screwed up the withdrawal by ordering the military out first and not really even worrying about how American citizens living there working for the federal government would get out without our military there to protect them.
Now, the administration is screwing American citizens yet again.
“The security situation in Ukraine continues to be unpredictable due to the increased threats of Russian military action and can deteriorate with little notice,” the announcement reads. “U.S. citizens in Ukraine should depart immediately using commercial or other privately available transportation options.”
“Poland has indicated to the U.S. government that U.S. citizens may now enter Poland through the land border with Ukraine,” the State Department bulletin read.
The Biden State Department also said, “U.S. citizens must present a valid U.S. passport and proof of COVID-19 vaccination” to be able to gain entry into Poland.
“Travelers are also encouraged to present a negative test result from a PCR or antigen COVID-19 test,” the notice states.
But get this. Poland doesn’t require US citizens to be vaccinated to enter the country. Until February 28, they only require a negative test.
This is the second time the Biden administration has caused Americans to be left behind in a foreign country where a hostile war was on the brink. This is the worst American administration in history as far as how it treats its citizens abroad when ordered to leave a foreign country.
The administration has been hyping a war with Russia via a possible Ukraine invasion despite the fact that Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky asked President Biden to tone down the rhetoric because things at the time were not nearly as bad as he and his administration, along with the stenographers in the misinformation news media, were making it out to be.
The US embassy website in Poland’s written restrictions for American citizens traveling to Poland:
“Starting December 15, every person arriving in Poland from outside the Schengen area has to present a negative test result from a PCR or antigen COVID-19 test to enter the country. Children who are under 5 years of age are exempt from the testing requirement. There must be no more than 24 hours between obtaining the test result and crossing the border into Poland. Vaccination does not exempt an individual from the obligation to test. These regulations will be in place until February 28, 2022.”
The official government website for the Republic of Poland:
“Until February 28, 2022, travelers crossing the Polish border as an external EU border are required to present to a Border Guard officer a negative diagnostic test result for SARS-CoV-2, in Polish or in English, performed within 24 hours before crossing the border and counting from the time the test result was generated (the test can be performed either in the country where the person begins his/her journey, at the airport in Poland before the border check or within 3 hours after crossing the border). Any person who fails to present a negative test result to a Border Guard officer will be required to undergo a compulsory quarantine. In the event that a test is performed after crossing the border, the procedure for releasing a traveler from quarantine rests solely with the health inspection authorities, and as such, the traveler does not have to return to the border control area.”
