Here I react to the shameful behavior of American leaders and media toward the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

Doc 24-2 here.

A bunch of the other declarations are ALSO people who evacuated (including 24-4 a person w/3 under 10 kids who had to leave dog).
As a result of these targeted attacks, the State Departed ordered departure (an evacuation) of staff from Embassy Kinshasa. Given the potential for additional, targeted violence, my family of five - wife, and three children all below the age of 10, were escorted in a convoy at 3:00AM to a staging residence and crossed via boat to Brazzaville, arriving there on January 29. We spent one night in Brazzaville before boarding a charter plane coordinated by the department of state, arriving nearly 24 hours later in DC on Friday, January 31. We were able to flee with only four backpacks - leaving behind our dog, and every household possession we own
