Each day with President Joe Biden in office is another day closer to World War III.
The United States shut down its embassy in Ukraine early Wednesday morning, Reuters reported. The closure comes amidst an anticipated Russian airstrike on the Ukrainian capital city of Kiev. Embassy employees were instructed to “shelter in place.”
“Out of an abundance of caution, the embassy will be closed, and embassy employees are being instructed to shelter in place,” reads a statement from the State Department. But a U.S. official on the ground confirmed to Reuters that the closure is “related to ongoing threats of air attacks.” (Click here to watch Daily Caller documentary ‘Lawless’)
It’s shocking — but it’s not surprising.

Biden gave Ukraine the green light to use U.S.-supplied long range to strike within Russian territory earlier in November, and what do you know: F few days later, and they did just that. It’s no surprise that Kiev now finds itself in the retaliatory crosshairs.
In fact, a run-of-the-mill air strike would be an under-reaction — at least according to Vladimir Putin’s stated personal redline, and Russia’s updated nuclear doctrine that lowers the threshold for a nuclear strike. Before Biden gave Ukraine the go-ahead, Putin warned he’d consider this move a direct attack by the NATO alliance. The updated nuclear doctrine reflects that view, formally treating an attack by a non-nuclear state supported by a nuclear-armed country as a joint attack by both. So sadly, even if Kiev gets bombed out like Dresden, that still pales in comparison to what Putin now gave himself the authority to do.
The administration is playing a dangerous game — especially given the American people just voted against what they’ve been doing these past several years. With two months left in power, Biden’s team is likely hoping to escalate to a point of no return, where the incoming Trump administration can’t easily extricate itself from the regime’s little, pet proxy war against Russia. It seems all we can do is hope that the clock runs out before they can do anymore damage.
