[Scott]

The US has warned its citizens to leave Russia immediately or risk wrongful detention or conscription to fight in Ukraine.

In a new travel warning, the State Department said Russia may refuse to acknowledge US-Russian dual citizenship.

The warning added that US citizens had already "been interrogated without cause and threatened".

I only wonder why his few fervent supporters on here haven't joined up already.  Age or disability aren't an excuse as you don't need to be able bodied to be pushed towards the enemy by a gun wielding maniac.  Come on boys, Uncle Ivan needs you!
