The U.S. on Monday issued a top-level advisory telling American citizens to leave Russia immediately and cease travel to the country as Russia’s war against neighboring Ukraine continues, citing risks of harassment and wrongful detention for Americans specifically.
“Do not travel to Russia due to the unpredictable consequences of the unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian military forces, the potential for harassment and the singling out of U.S. citizens for detention by Russian government security officials, the arbitrary enforcement of local law, limited flights into and out of Russia, the Embassy’s limited ability to assist U.S. citizens in Russia, and the possibility of terrorism,”

Who the hell would travel to Russia, especially now.

We have plenty of harassment and unlawful detention right here, why look for it in Russia? At least they don't pretend it's something else.

Notice the phrase 'in and out of Russia.' That usage in English is for dangerous places. One goes 'in and out' of North Korea, Iran, even Mexico. Travelers go 'to and from' in most of the world like Denmark, France, Israel, Egypt etc. One does not go 'into' Arizona, but Chiapas or Sinaloa, yes. Odd, English speakers still go 'to and from' Cuba. Tiny examples why English is the world's greatest language.

I'd have loft quite a while ago....in fact, I did. I never had imagined that I'd go to Russia, let alone know downtown Moscow very well from walking over much of it for many years. It was an interesting time, and I took my wife on one trip, showed her all over Moscow, and we spent a few days in St. Petersburg, too.
But I'd not go back again.

The US government taking national, high moral ground stances always makes me laugh. I visited the former Soviet Union, as well, #4. Moscow, Leningrad, Crimea, Sevastopol, Simferopol, Columna and the Golden Ring. It was a theatre exchange trip for 3 weeks. Saw some incredible things, but no, I would never go back, not because I would be afraid or because of politics, but because once was enough. I wonder if this warning is especially to those US citizens that may have been sent to Russia to spy or cause trouble, on behalf of the Global Elite Forces.

I'm sure Brittany Greiner could have used that advice a year or so back.

Why shouldn't Russia be mad at Americans.
We are supplying the weapons that are killing their soldiers.
We are supplying the money to pay for the war,
Biden is responsible for starting the war.

I'm sure Marine Paul Whelan would like to leave, but the Brandon administration felt it was better to leave him there and bring back an America-hating, box-checking, basketball-playing, drug user. Sick priorities. FJB

Americans in Russia had better heed that warning because they cannot rely on this government to get them out. Just look at Afghanistan. Joe will leave anyone behind and not think a thing about it.
Furthermore, those beating the drums of war don’t give a flying fig about anything but the money to be had from the unnecessary destruction of property and lives. Those ghouls are going to bankrupt us or get us all killed. Our enemies know the time to attack is now because we have never been as weak and totally incompetent. The United States of America is ripe for the picking.

Is Joe telling them to leave before he fires off the nukes?

Dang! I’ve lived by the principle of doing the opposite the government tells you to do. Yet I don’t think I would travel to any other country right now. I’ll stick to my own back yard , thank you.

Our Government is leading us quietly by the hand down the path of WW III. Worry not, Milley and Austin, the heroes of Kabul, will lead our woke military.
