U.S. tells citizens to leave Russia 'immediately'

The U.S. also said citizens should not visit Russia because of the "unpredictable consequences" of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

tates on Monday told American citizens in Russia to leave "immediately" due to the risk of wrongful detention or harassment by Russian authorities.

"U.S. citizens residing or traveling in Russia should depart immediately," the U.S. Embassy and Consulates in Russia said. "Exercise increased caution due to the risk of wrongful detentions."

The U.S. also said citizens should not visit Russia because of the "unpredictable consequences" of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, limited ways to travel into and out of the country and the embassy's "limited ability to assist U.S. citizens."ct the expression of individuals, particularly those with whom those presently in power disagree.

"Do not travel to Russia," the advisory also warns.

The U.S. embassy told citizens nearly a year ago to leave Russia over flight cancellation concerns as many airlines stopped providing service to Russia after its invasion of Ukraine.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed the alert. He said the warnings "have been voiced by the State Department many times in the last period, so this is not a new thing," Reuters reported.

I really can't believe ANYONE (without relatives there) wants to visit Somalia. N. Korea has mystery as a "hermit kingdom" not accessible to outsiders, so an adventurer like Otto Warmbier might be foolhardy enough to visit. Iran has lots of Persian history and (sadly) lots of beautiful Persian women that you can't even see the hair or ankles of. While dangerous for Westerners, I could see some allure there. Somalia? I can't see the allure for anyone to visit there, unless you're from there and visiting family.

They're not all that bad, they don't suffer nonsense like liberalism, faggotry and George Floyd culture.

Russia tends to be a safe place for most Americans. Maybe a reaction to the Nord story...

There are people that “collect “ countries. The more obscure or dangerous, the greater the bragging rights

I imagine Russian brides are like stray pitbulls. Could be nice or could kill you in your sleep. They sure look good though.

This is the only Russian "bitch" I need on my property. Doesn't speak a word of English, but she doesn't really need to either.

I had a female employee that made 3 trips to Russa to finally get a child adopted; it was 18 months of drama and angst working through the involved process but she finally got the male infant back to the US...

A well-to-do neighbor did the "mail order" bride thing - from Malaysia, once she got him to fund getting her whole family to the US, she jettisoned him like skid-marked underwear. Everybody knew it would happen except the goofy husband...

If you're an American in a foreign country and our gov't tells you to get out, grab your "go bag" and get on the next plane, because they won't be coming to get you.

If the Afghanistan evacuation didn't teach you anything then shame on you..
