Washington (AFP) – The United States has urged its citizens to immediately leave Belarus, citing a buildup of Russian troops along the border with neighboring Ukraine.

The travel advisory, issued Monday, came the same day that Washington announced it was closing its Kyiv embassy and relocating staff to the Ukrainian city of Lviv 335 miles (540 kilometers) away due to a "dramatic acceleration" in the buildup of Russian forces.

“Due to an increase in unusual and concerning Russian military activity near the border with Ukraine, U.S. citizens located in or considering travel to Belarus should be aware that the situation is unpredictable and there is heightened tension in the region," the advisory said.

It also noted that last month, the State Department ordered all family members of the Minsk embassy to leave.

Does anybody think these are legitimate warnings?

It’s like Hillary publicly saying Trump is flying to Cuba on Saturday, then, when he doesn’t she claims credit for stopping him for bringing attention to it.

Now if Congress would just approve another 5 trillion in worthless wasteful spending for climate change we could cure this inflation mess.

Hey, it sure seemed like Russia was going to invade Ukraine ...
But thanks to sharp diplomacy by Joe Biden, that catastrophe was avoided! No war in Ukraine! Thanks Joe!!

But thanks to sharp diplomacy by Joe Biden, that catastrophe may be avoided! No war in Belarus! Thanks Joe!!
