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.
Guess who’s being sent to fight Ukraine?
That dirtbag for sure.
How do you fuck up a life like this I can’t comprehend
Part 1 : Start off stupid
Life is hard. It’s even harder when you’re dumb.
Part 2: Believe Donald Trump.
Let simmer over a low heat of Fawx News and Russian troll farms for 4 years.
Serve over a plate of insurrection and garnish with an escape to a hostile puppet state.
Perfect recipe for a life fucked up.
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.
Good luck getting them a visa 🤣
Yeah that’s a big issue. Hell even some of the EU countries have issues getting visitor visas for the USA. I’ve got UA and PL family and both prior to the war had really really tough times just to be able to come visit.
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.
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.
I know but I assumed they already were in danger. Lukashenko can be forced to enter this whole special operation shitshow at a moment’s notice.
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.
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.
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 mean, they wouldn’t wanna be standing with their pants down
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.
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…
which videos?

No, I haven’t seen them, I’ve been trying to stick to this fedaverse shit and not go back to reddit.

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.

I’m a little surprised this warning wasn’t issued last year. Better late than never?
Hmm I wonder if it’s too late to go to North Korea instead?

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.

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 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.
“How I stopped worrying and learned to love the bomb.”
Well, now I’m worried about the mineshaft gap.
I hate that this is where I’m at in life too. Hell, at least the mushroom cloud would be a quick death if you’re close enough! Better than dying in the Water Wars or Mother Nature saying we fucked up.
Oh come on, aint nobody scared of the potato king
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?
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
Be more scared of … dinosaur comeback
lol what
Bruh doesnt know about the dinosaur comeback smh my head
Ikr know Right
but not meme weapons
