Didn't one of the Proud Boys run there rather than face prison for Jan 6? Looks like a big oops.

Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.

Why not earlier? Wtf
That's what I was thinking....anyone still there probably is in support of the war.
They could be visiting family before the whole thing goes to shit.
Sure but even then, you've got a target on your back being there as a US citizen. I'd want my family to be safe so I'd leave, it'll be less likely that anti NATO groups find out about your family if you're not there.
I am just pointing out that there are other reasons to be there at this point in time that just support of the war.

There's always journalists, business people, tourists, and visiting family knocking around in these kinds of situations. This is the US Embassy officially warning those folks that they are in danger and that the US will have limited recourse if they find themselves in trouble.
I know but I assumed they already were in danger. Lukashenko can be forced to enter this whole special operation shitshow at a moment's notice.
Maybe it's meant to mainly fuck with Russian intelligence? Don't forget that we're practically at war with them.
I hope they have a verbally delivered version of this message interrupting tv shows - the majority of Americans in the country are conservatives doing fascism tours and they can't read.
Just as long as we (the US) can write them off as a lost cause / FAFO fodder when things go south. I don't want my tax dollars trying to rescue any people stupid enough to decide Belarus was a viable tourism or lifestyle destination following the stationing of Russian nukes and harboring of Wagner/Prigoshen within their borders.
Where will Steven Segall go?
To a buffet? Probably.
He'll join his Wagner buddies in Africa.
He's probably pretending to fight walls.
I'm a little surprised this warning wasn't issued last year. Better late than never?
Hmm I wonder if it's too late to go to North Korea instead?
