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.
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
It takes more than putin himself to launch a nuke, and I’m pretty sure at leat one of those people isn’t suicidal. Russia would stop existing in hours.

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

Let’s try that link
Edit yup that works
Ok I’ve seen it, what now?
I thought it was good for a laugh. Hopefully you at least got a chuckle out of it.
Admittedly I was amused, not a pure lmao but a strong hehe

Do you really think it’s worth taking that risk if it comes down to it?
That’s the point of MAD. If they launch nukes, they get nuked back 10 times harder. Even in their best case scenario, Russia and Belarus become radioactive holes in the ground. Worst case for everyone, they kill the whole world with them. We can’t let a rogue nuclear power do whatever they want because they have nukes. That’s why we have nukes too. Like 90% of the “muh escalation” people are Russia shills.
I never even suggested we let them do whatever we want. That doesn’t mean we provoke them into using their nukes.
Using that logic they can do whatever they want, as long as they back up their ‘want’ with nukes.
I think there are things we should never let them do, even under threat of nukes. Muscovy needs hard red lines, else they’d just annex everything. Got to call their nuke bluff from time to time.
Call for diplomacy. It can be both that the Russians illegally invaded Ukraine to rebuild the former Empire. It can also be that the US is in this to make profit for the military industrial complex and to sell natural gas to Western Europe to expand the empire.
After the fall of the Soviet Union the US made treaties with Russia that stated NATO will not pass reunified Germany. Now NATO is on Russia’s border. We store nukes several hindered miles from Moscow. Imagine how the US would react with Russian nukes on this side of the world. Say 90 miles off the coast of Florida.
The Cold War is over. NATO should be gone.
I am not a Russian apologist or a tankie. I am pro peace. I am a U.S. citizen. I love my country. I believe we should not be a nation above nations but rather a nation among nations. Just remember the people in the media talking about freedom are the same fuckers who got US into Iraq and Afghanistan. Lindsey Graham put it best.
“I like the path we’re on. With American weapons and money, Ukraine will fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.”
The Europeans have been doing that since the fall of the USSR. It got more intense after 2014. It doesn’t work with Putin’s Russia.
I’d ask you to prove that but we both know that no such Treaty ever existed.
Happens all the time. Russian Nuclear Submarines on the East Coast, Russian Spy Ships hovering around Florida and Hawaii, and recently the Russians and Chinese started getting together to party off the coast of Alaska.
So it’s not a question, we KNOW what the modern day response is. The US keeps an eye on it but otherwise continues to go about its business.
Yes, I imagine that President Putin would like that very much.
Said while spouting regurgitated and endlessly disproved Pro-Russian talking points. We all want “peace” bub, but rolling over and showing your belly is a poor way to get it.
So am I, of direct Lithuanian & German descent. My people came here Post WWII after seeing what the Russians were like first hand. Your call for appeasement is of no interest to me Mr. Chamberlain.
Seems legit to me. Putin is just being a whiny bitch and only showing countries why they should join NATO. Let’s think about it. He invades Ukraine because he doesn’t want to share a border with a NATO country. He wins Ukraine. Ukraine shares a border with Poland, a NATO country. Now what? Invade Poland too? And do you actually think for a goddamn second a defensive alliance is going to invade Russia?
Not to mention his aggression literally caused 2 more countries to join NATO.
What year is it? Why do you libs do this shit where you think it’s clever using dumb names? Is that an ‘own’ or something?
Not sure if you want an actual answer, but the name “Russia” originally comes from “Kievan Rus”, and Kyiv is in … Ukraine. Renaming it to Muscovy (original name of the country) is then symbolically taking the name back.
Why you so butthurt? You ain’t a Ruskie are you?
That’s a weird way to see the world, dude.
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
I never suggested he have free reign.
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.
Ofcourse there is such a scenario. We wouldn’t nuke them for a mundane evasion. We would, however, invoke article 5 and violently beat into their inferior military until they beg for mercy.

Bruh doesnt know about the dinosaur comeback smh my head
Ikr know Right
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.
If their weapons did not work at all, Ukraine would have retaken all their territory including Crimea last year. Given that at least some of their weapons work enough to only let small advances through, its pretty silly to rely on weapons capable of wiping out a city to fail or be intercepted given that, while Ukraine does intercept some russian missiles, unfortunately not all get intercepted before they hit their intended target. And that is already using some Western tech to achieve that.
Oh the mosin nagants work just fine but I wouldn’t bet much on any rus*ian tech past the sixties.
Rus*ian nukes are just for show and yall are slurping it up
No one wins a nuclear war. We have 5000 and they have 7000. After the first one is dropped consider then end of humanity as we know it.
Every nuclear treaty between Russia and the U.S. has expired or is set to expire in a few years without renewal.
End of story.
Hell yeah dude!
