MOSCOW — Countries often issue travel advisories warning citizens of danger abroad: war, for instance, or a terrorist threat or an outbreak of disease. The Russian Foreign Ministry posted advice of a somewhat different nature on Monday, cautioning people wanted by the United States not to visit nations that have an extradition treaty with it.

I suppose it gives the chance for more Americans who are travelling to pretend that they are Canadian...
Pres did basically state that although he would wait for congressional approval, it wouldn't really matter what they came back with, he will do what he wants to do, because that is the way he has always done things.

Can you people not read?? or perhaps you have a problem comprehending the words...
This statement is a positive towards US relations not a negative.
The statement means that if you are a criminal wanted by the United States and you visit Russia... The Russian authorities will extradite back to the US.
“Warning for Russian citizens traveling internationally,” the Foreign Ministry bulletin said. “Recently, detentions of Russian citizens in various countries, at the request of American law enforcement, have become more frequent — with the goal of extradition and legal prosecution in the United States.”

Tell us again who's not capable of reading? Here's the second paragraph of the article.
“Warning for Russian citizens traveling internationally,” the Foreign Ministry bulletin said. “Recently, detentions of Russian citizens in various countries, at the request of American law enforcement, have become more frequent — with the goal of extradition and legal prosecution in the United States.”

You do realize that the quote I posted came from that SAME original article?
You do realize that Russia is accusing the U.S. of "kidnapping" Russian citizens from other countries while they are traveling and having them extradited to the U.S. to face trial?

You do realize that Russia has an extradition treaty with USA don't you?? Signed in 1893.
Citing examples in Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Lithuania and Spain, the Foreign Ministry said, “Experience shows that the judicial proceedings against those who were in fact kidnapped and taken to the U.S. are of a biased character, based on shaky evidence, and clearly tilted toward conviction.”

Your attempt at understanding the article and CYA is failing. Just go back and read the article. Here, let me help you one small paragraph at a time. This has NOTHING to do with Russia extraditing anyone to the U.S.

Listen, I'm not trying to wind you up. You were the first person to accuse everyone else of not understanding what was written in the original article. Just maybe, to keep from looking like a bigger fool, you should be the one to refrain from accusing anyone else of their level of understanding. Especially when it's obvious you never read the entire article before you posted.
