The U.S. Embassy is monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts, and U.S. citizens should be advised to avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours.

Extremists of what type? Anti Putin, pro Ukraine, both, something else...

~~Why would anti Putin or pro Ukraine individuals conduct an attack on a US embassy in Moscow? That’s nonsensical.~~

Edit: yeah, my mistake

Maybe get the fuck out of Russia before you get arrested on some bullshit charges and end up being a bargaining chip for jailed war criminals.

This is probably mostly addressed at people with dual citizenship or Russian ancestors and families, especially Jewish ones. They might count themselves safe from Russia itself, yet. But they could easily become branded as spies and demonized at some point. Not this time, that is more to do with Islamic extremism and probably actually a common concern of both US and Russia. Doesn't look good for Russia if Russian American Jews get killed due to internal issues with terrorism.

Sounds like Putler is going to bomb apartment buildings again, like he did during the war in Chechnia

We still have an embassy in Russia? Wow.

Even during the cold war both sides had embassies in both countries, it's nothing surprising
