As recently as 2 months ago I knew of Americans travelling to Russia to visit family. The only unusual part of the trip for them was no direct flights, so travel was a hassle. Otherwise it was a normal trip for them without BS at customs or anything. I was surprised, but it seems like it's been no big deal, at least until the mobilization stuff hit.

Yeah, there are probably a decent number of Americans who have been living in the country for years or decades, possibly with family. They were stuck between a rock and a hard place before the invasion started, and I can only imagine it's going to get worse. As an American expat married to a foreign woman, I have no idea what the hell I would be doing if I were in Russia instead.

It takes time to build but it's not unusual if you have pioneers to do it. That being said berets are for parading and looking fancy so who knows where they are stationed.

Comrade Blyatlov posted:How bad is this? As far as I can tell, the warning is mainly to dual nationals, along the lines of "get out now if you don't want to get drafted". US Embassy in Moscow posted:On September 21, the Russian government began a mobilization of its citizens to the armed forces in support of its invasion of Ukraine. Russia may refuse to acknowledge dual nationals’ U.S. citizenship, deny their access to U.S. consular assistance, prevent their departure from Russia, and conscript dual nationals for military service.

The gap with China will probably wind up shrinking this year as well due to Zero COVID and the US economy's continued inertia. Always confused at the "America doesn't make anything anymore" people. America doesn't make much in the way of cheap consumer goods anymore, it makes higher value stuff. There aren't as many manufacturing jobs because the owners replaced you with a robot, not because the US stopped making things.

There aren't as many manufacturing jobs because the owners replaced you with a robot, not because the US stopped making things. America is the second largest exporter of goods in the world. Hard to find that information though because most google searches for export totals will just return results about how the US is the worlds largest importer of goods. Almost like it’s intended to give a false impression.

A modern US Army HIMARS battalion is 27 HIMARS (3x firing platoons of 9 each). They used to be (and most still are) 2x8 instead of 3x9. The change was announced in 2020-ish and the first units were fielded at full strength in 2021. I don’t think they finish going to 3x9 until 2026 or so.
