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.
Didn’t one of the Proud Boys run there rather than face prison for Jan 6? Looks like a big oops.
Seems like there are better places without extradition treaties. Warmer and more tropical places. The hell they go to Belarus for?
Good luck getting to stay in most of those places. They’re happy to have tourists, not residents. Unless you have a lot of money to open a business. Proud little boys don’t strike me as wealthy.
What are the chances the Proud Boy will even make an attempt to learn Belarusian? My prediction is close to 0%. Probably would expect others to learn English instead.
The better, warmer places need to want to keep you around.
tropical climates suck i would rather eat shit
Guess who’s being sent to fight Ukraine?
That dirtbag for sure.
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.
There’s always journalists, business people, tourists, and visiting family knocking around in these kinds of situations. This is the US Embassy officially warning those folks that they are in danger and that the US will have limited recourse if they find themselves in trouble.
Because intelligence didn’t tell them to until now.
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’ll join his Wagner buddies in Africa.
He’s probably pretending to fight walls.
I’m a little surprised this warning wasn’t issued last year. Better late than never?

They’d be stupid if they weren’t. There’s a hot war involving a global / regional power happening on their border and the best way to keep it on the other side is to be prepared to repel any and all boarders.
I mean, they wouldn’t wanna be standing with their pants down
That would be the most stupid military decision since the most recent Ukraine invasion.
Not doing so would be.
To be clear we’re talking about preparing for war, not starting one.
I mean, Putler is known for making stupid military decisions so…
Umm…I hate to be the one to break it to you: see, there is this country called Ukraine. Small place. Next to Poland. Also next to Russia. Ukraine and Russia are currently, how should I put it…they are having a MASSIVE FUCKING WAR rn. So their neighbors are preparing for the inevitability it will spill over into Europe and Middle East.

Hmm I wonder if it’s too late to go to North Korea instead?

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.
I have nuke fatigue. I can’t be bothered to be afraid of them.
Me as a GenX looking over at you… “First time?”
Boomers got you beat for sure, anyone that lived through the cold war.
I also suspect many people don’t truly appreciate just how devastating a nuke is - in the sense that hearing “blah blah destruction, mushroom cloud” a hundred times over seems to numb people to the concept. I did a deep dive into nuclear blast videos some time ago, just watching how destructive they are really made me realize I was one of these people who knew, but didn’t really “know”
i did a 2-3 week-long dive into nukes. if one is dropped on my city, i want to be at ground zero. very few people understand how devastating they are and no country on Earth is prepared for the ensuing crisis.

I spent more than 20 years living with the Cold War. I grew up next to Strategic Air Command, did the C.A.P. thing in the '80s, then did further NBC training as I got older. I’ve been on bases and in bunkers all over the place, including the one that Bush Jr hunkered in on 9/11. (Although not the Presidential Level.)
What I learned is that they have immense destruction of their immediate area. Depending on event factors though it’s quite possible to survive one going off in the next town over. The mega-bitch is the societal collapse that follows a nuclear exchange; most people will die from lack of food, water, necessary medications and diseases that were previously preventable.
Peons like us don’t get a choice in whether it happens or not, so there’s no point in worrying about it.
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

America knows that Russian nuclear silos are in as poor a state as American nuclear silos, if not worse. Like in the US where only one wrench is shared between multiple silos and they ship it back and forth. Working in a silo is a dead end gig.
The problem with weapons you never intend to use is that you stop giving a shit about their maintenance, or just steal their budget for something else/yourself. Sub launched nukes are the real threat at this stage, of which there are far fewer.
As an example: https://time.com/6212698/nuclear-missiles-icbm-triad-upgrade/
Isn’t most of the US nuclear arsenal on subs? I mean we have 14 SSBN Ohio class subs each of which has 20 Trident II missiles each of which can have up to 12 100kt warheads. Thats up to potentially 3,360 100kt nuclear warheads ready to be lauched at a moments notice. If that isn’t enough to get the job done then I don’t think a few silos are going to make much of a difference.
Those have been in service for 30-40 years apiece at this stage, and only a portion of those will be at sea at any given time. Still a terrifying amount of destructive power to be sure though, for whatever “the job” turns out to be in the end.
Silos are still deemed a critical part of the nuclear triad, along with air and sea.
the US has 400 nuclear missile silos
Ru*sian weaponry works is the most delusional tankie take.

Your comment reminds me of that guys videos
Sorry mate that link dont open on mobile. But I’m sure truth lies in yt shorts
Interesting that the link doesn’t work here but works in nostupidquestions
That is odd
Do you really think it’s worth taking that risk if it comes down to it?
Yes.
It’s suicide for them if they do. We know our nukes work.
Rather not let nuclear dictators have free reign on the world because “OMG they may nuke us”. Otherwise give em the keys to the world right now and surrender.
There’s an old American proverb: LIVE FREE OR DIE
It’s a gamble I’d rather not take personally
It’d be fucking funny doe. And would definitely beat getting subjected to these shitpeople
You don’t have a very good grasp of reality do you.
There’s two possible outcomes here and neither of them are enslavement at the hands of the Russians. How are they going to do that, they can’t invade a country one 10th the size of the United States what are they going to do? But what they might do is launch missiles, nuclear or otherwise, in fit of peak.
So the two outcomes are, they either do nothing, or they nuke us. There’s no scenario where they’re going to invade.

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.
Bruh doesnt know about the dinosaur comeback smh my head
Ikr know Right
