      Unfortunately not.

      I say that not because I hate Russians.

      I hate the Russians that fly to Maldives and act like they own the place and are constantly rude to Maldivians, other tourists and leave trash behind when they leave.

        I’ve seen it described as “manufactured outrage.” I think it’s an appropriate term.

      Funny thing, I made the same question in reverse once, and the crowd on here descended on me for “whataboutism”.

        Tbh it is a fine line in many cases, and there is no right answer. Every country can decide who to let in, and others have the right to form their opinion on it. I disagree with this one, as I would also disagree with banning all Russians, but I would highly support the targeted sanctioning and travel restriction of diplomats, politicians and oligarchs of both countries.

      Careful. As I understand, this is considered “whataboutism” and isn’t really allowed to be discussed. Even though it’s a fantastic point to make with regards to the events happening elsewhere.

      Yeah, how come Israel gets all the economic sanctions and Russia gets nothing?? Oh wait…
