“It was in 2015 that the caption of Meron you pasted above is taken from and it was not Breslov chassidim, it just says thousands of Mispallelim are expected there. What actually happened is not reported.”

The point is, there are legitimate alternatives to going to Uman brought down by Rav Shternhartz himself. You guys even agreed that when Uman was under Soviet control, larger portions of Breslevers had to rely on these alternatives. Don’t you think that Uman becoming a land of drugs and znus might also be a decent reason to look into alternate venues?
