Travel Advisory: Russia – Do Not Travel ("U.S. citizens residing or travelling in Russia should depart immediately").
ru.usembassy.gov/ ^ | 2-12-23 | US Goverment

Posted on 02/13/2023 7:01:42 AM PST by dynachrome

Do not travel to Russia due to the unpredictable consequences of the unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian military forces, the potential for harassment and the singling out of U.S. citizens for detention by Russian government security officials, the arbitrary enforcement of local law, limited flights into and out of Russia, the Embassy’s limited ability to assist U.S. citizens in Russia, and the possibility of terrorism. U.S. citizens residing or travelling in Russia should depart immediately. Exercise increased caution due to the risk of wrongful detentions.

The U.S. government’s ability to provide routine or emergency services to U.S. citizens in Russia is severely limited, particularly in areas far from the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, due to Russian government limitations on travel for embassy personnel and staffing, and the ongoing suspension of operations, including consular services, at U.S. consulates.

that’s a stretch, Ukraine is doing a fine job of fighting Russia all by themselves

Russia has been threatening Westerners a lot lately ... this is just playing it safe, given Russia’s long history of jerk behavior

It’s certainly not a good idea to have cannabinoid-based vape oil going through final checkout!

One year after the war starts, the US Embassy wakes up and issues a notice.

Gov’t efficiency on display.

Does that mean Ed Snowden should surrender?

Well, we blew up a Russian pipeline — are we not already at war?

That news, btw, has to be the reason for the timing of this warning.

Sad to say I trust the Russian government far more than our own.

Sounds like the old Cold War Soviet Union. I still call them that because those in charge now are those of that time and their kids have grown up to be like their fathers. The top 5% still have and the bottom 95% still don’t. Their military seems to be no better than Ecuador’s, but that is another matter as I think Ecuador could have given Ukraine a better fight. The only the Soviets have the big game is because they can target Ukraine’s towns, villages and cities, while Ukraine is not murdering Russia’s non-military citizens.

Remember, they are dimocrats in the embassy, so they sleep late every morning and go to bed late after the booze parties.

Is Brazil going to invade Russia? They made a similar announcement. Putin’s Russia is toxic now. Foreign nationals have no business being there.

Like most news from Ukraine, I didn't get a dozen words in until I saw a lie : UNPROVOKED ?

I suppose "unprovoked", like when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, ..... they did it just because they were bored ! The US and GB did nothing to provoke other nations into WW2

Sort of "UNPROVOKED" like when Obama attacked Libya and assassinated Ghadffy with a drone and looted Russia's Libyan held money .

All wars were unprovoked by the "winner" ( who writes the history )

U.S. citizens residing or travelling in Russia should depart immediately.

That's kind of a strange warning coming at this time considering it could have been issued months ago.

Lots of weird stuff going on......
