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.

    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.

        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.
