The Biden administration is urging U.S. citizens in Belarus to depart the country immediately and warned against travel there in a statement published Monday.
The updated travel warning comes after bordering countries Lithuania, Latvia and Poland have stepped up security along the border over concerns about Russian Wagner mercenary forces exiled in the country.
The State Department, in its warning, encouraged Americans still in Belarus to depart the country immediately and categorized the country as a Level 4 risk, the highest security warning.
I hope they have a verbally delivered version of this message interrupting tv shows - the majority of Americans in the country are conservatives doing fascism tours and they can’t read.
Just as long as we (the US) can write them off as a lost cause / FAFO fodder when things go south. I don’t want my tax dollars trying to rescue any people stupid enough to decide Belarus was a viable tourism or lifestyle destination following the stationing of Russian nukes and harboring of Wagner/Prigoshen within their borders.
Why not earlier? Wtf
That’s what I was thinking…anyone still there probably is in support of the war.
They could be visiting family before the whole thing goes to shit.
Sure but even then, you’ve got a target on your back being there as a US citizen. I’d want my family to be safe so I’d leave, it’ll be less likely that anti NATO groups find out about your family if you’re not there.
I am just pointing out that there are other reasons to be there at this point in time that just support of the war.
Very true, some just want to stay, I know a lot of Belarusian’s hate lukashinko and putin so they stay for their country. Hopefully the time comes when they can take it back just as Ukraine has been doing.
Or, tell them to come visit you instead.
No clue why you’re being shot down for this but you’re right, if you have Belarusian family and they’re not pro-putin then I’d try my hardest to get them over here.
its more than a year.
Maybe it’s meant to mainly fuck with Russian intelligence? Don’t forget that we’re practically at war with them.
Where will Steven Segall go?
To a buffet? Probably.
He’s probably pretending to fight walls.
Hmm I wonder if it’s too late to go to North Korea instead?
Damn I gotta cancel my trip
Ain’t nobody going to do shit. Always good to prepare though
They also have nukes. This is fucking terrifying.
I have nuke fatigue. I can’t be bothered to be afraid of them. Go ahead and throw them, whoever was brazen enough to do so will have their country wiped from the face of the earth faster than you can say “Enola Gay”. There’s no one self-destructive enough to seriously consider pushing that button.
And even if there was, it’s not like I’m going to change their mind. Just sit back and enjoy the mushroom clouds.
“How I stopped worrying and learned to love the bomb.”
Well, now I’m worried about the mineshaft gap.
Stop with the goddamn nuke psychosis. rusian nukes aint worth shit. Be more scared of meteorites hitting the earth or dinosaur comeback but not rusian meme weapons
Do you really think it’s worth taking that risk if it comes down to it?
That’s the point of MAD. If they launch nukes, they get nuked back 10 times harder. Even in their best case scenario, Russia and Belarus become radioactive holes in the ground. Worst case for everyone, they kill the whole world with them. We can’t let a rogue nuclear power do whatever they want because they have nukes. That’s why we have nukes too. Like 90% of the “muh escalation” people are Russia shills.
I never even suggested we let them do whatever we want. That doesn’t mean we provoke them into using their nukes.
I never even suggested we let them do whatever we want.
That doesn’t mean we provoke them into using their nukes.
Using that logic they can do whatever they want, as long as they back up their ‘want’ with nukes.
I think there are things we should never let them do, even under threat of nukes. Muscovy needs hard red lines, else they’d just annex everything. Got to call their nuke bluff from time to time.
Be more scared of … dinosaur comeback
lol what
Bruh doesnt know about the dinosaur comeback smh my head
but not meme weapons
The fastest predator in the world right now is a dinosaur that can fly at over 200 mph— with razor-sharp claws, and so durable it can survive crashing into moving objects at that speed.
Their friends are scary smart. They’re fiercely loyal, and yet ruthless and cruel.
And we’ve spent the last while spraying their eggs with poison, releasing bio-engineered killer drones into their midst, and planting invisible obstacles right in the middle of their highways.
