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.

      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.

      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.
