Foreign countries warn about travel to Trump's U.S.

After recent mass shooting, can you blame them?

By Dana Milbank

Have we become a shithole country?

Uruguay seems to think so. Its Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued an alert after the El Paso and Dayton, Ohio, shootings for Uruguayan nationals traveling to the United States. It advises they “take extreme precautions in the face of growing indiscriminate violence, mostly hate crimes, including racism and discrimination, which killed more than 250 people in the first seven months of this year.”

Blaming the “indiscriminate possession of firearms by the population,” it recommends everybody, but particularly children, avoid shopping malls, theme parks, religious activities, and cultural and sporting events. It warns about cities such as Detroit, Baltimore and Albuquerque, “among the 20 most dangerous in the world.”

Venezuela piled on — not entirely credibly, given U.S. efforts to remove that country’s regime — by recommending Monday that its citizens postpone travel to the United States or take “extreme precautions” given the “violence and crimes of indiscriminate hatred” perpetuated by “the supremacist elite that holds political power in Washington.”

The Japanese are spooked, too: Japan’s consulate in Detroit warned this week that its nationals “should be aware of the potential for gunfire incidents everywhere in the United States,” which is a “a gun society,” the Los Angeles Times reported.

1. America is also a significantly racist society.

Who wants or needs to put up with THAT on their vacation?

2. I'll say the POC countries are truly

weary of the state of the USA and not in a good way. The USA does reply on tourism from the world.

3. Retaliation didn't take long

Angered by a warning by the Japanese consulate in Detroit about gun violence in the United States the Trump state department issued a retaliatory warning about travel to Japan.

“Travelers to Japan should take precautions against a wave of anime violence. These attacks are often given whimsical names such as Serious Punch, Full Counter, and Spirit Bomb, that hide their violent nature.”

The warning went on to warn against attacks by a mutant creature that was first filmed in 1954 attacking Tokyo.

Few are taking the warnings seriously, but it has been discussed extensively on the President’s favorite program Fox and Friends
