The U.S. Embassy is monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts, and U.S. citizens should be advised to avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours.

      Diplomatic communications haven’t totally broken down yet, it serves a great purpose in passing communications between the two countries. It’s normal to keep embassies open as long as possible. Hell, in world war 2 the US even maintained their embassy in Nazi Germany up until 1941. It didn’t do much at that point but it stayed open until we were legally at war and communicating didn’t matter.

      Even during the cold war both sides had embassies in both countries, it’s nothing surprising

    Maybe get the fuck out of Russia before you get arrested on some bullshit charges and end up being a bargaining chip for jailed war criminals.

      This is probably mostly addressed at people with dual citizenship or Russian ancestors and families, especially Jewish ones. They might count themselves safe from Russia itself, yet. But they could easily become branded as spies and demonized at some point. Not this time, that is more to do with Islamic extremism and probably actually a common concern of both US and Russia. Doesn’t look good for Russia if Russian American Jews get killed due to internal issues with terrorism.

          I’m 100% against the Kremlin’s barbaric, genocidal war in Ukraine, but terrorism against Russian civilians won’t help anything.

            Yes you are right ofc, it’s immoral, but I’m not sure it won’t have a positive effect, especially against putin whos “election” is coming up.

            Best case would be lots of explosions , lots of stuff damages and no one hurt I guess.

      Why would anti Putin or pro Ukraine individuals conduct an attack on a US embassy in Moscow? That’s nonsensical.

      Edit: yeah, my mistake

        The embassy is warning citizens of potential attacks on large gatherings, not attacks on the embassy.

    Sounds like Putler is going to bomb apartment buildings again, like he did during the war in Chechnia
