It seems reasonable. The US has gotten pretty insane and unpredictable.
Idk how far it is from being like visiting East Berlin before the wall was taken down, or the Soviet Union, but there certainly seems to be some of that kind of risk. It's bad and getting worse. Their actions and intentions are threatening to at some point surpass both of those, and be about as insane as visiting Nazi Germany.
