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

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?
