U.S. diplomats in Russia released on Monday a lengthy message to Americans instructing them to leave Russia if there and to not travel to the country.
Do they know something we do not? Or do the Americans still in Russia not know something the rest of us do?
Leaving seemed the thing to do when the authorities detained basketball player Brittney Griner for an awfully long time on a marijuana charge.
One wonders whether the timing of this signals greater danger ahead. Why now?
“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,” the message begins. “U.S. citizens residing or travelling in Russia should depart immediately. Exercise increased caution due to the risk of wrongful detentions.”
