extr Afghanistan: Level 4: Do Not Travel
Effective 5 years ago ---
There are no serious national events at this time.
Multiple simultaneous crises are unfolding globally, including active Ukraine-Russia military escalation, Middle East tensions with stalled diplomacy, a severe humanitarian emergency in Venezuela, and active severe weather threats across multiple US regions. While market stability and normal DEFCON status suggest no immediate systemic collapse, the potential for rapid escalation across multiple theaters demands elevated vigilance and near-term preparedness.
