Biden Says He Won't Send Troops To Rescue Americans In Ukraine if Russia Attacks: 'That's A World War'

President Joe Biden on Thursday urged Americans that are still in Ukraine to immediately depart the country as it faces the looming threat of a possible Russian invasion.

In a sit-down interview with NBC News anchor Lester Holt, the president issued a weighty warning, saying the United States would not send troops to rescue remaining American citizens in Ukraine if Russia attacks.

"It's not like we're dealing with a terrorist organization. We're dealing with one of the largest armies in the world," Biden said. "It's a very different situation and things could go crazy quickly."
