• I mean its always ironic when that happens.

    Russian dissidents want to leave the war machine and they are banned from visiting European countries to defect.

    And the US deported a russian dissident back to russia.

    And now the US banned 75 countries from coming to the US, including Iranians who want to flee the regime…

    So I guess fuck those people?

      It’s difficult to know who’s a dissident and who’s a spy or terrorist.

      Iran just threatened to kill the leader of another country. Yeah fuck Trump and all that, but you aren’t going to open the doors to anyone from a country that’s issuing threats, especially a country that’s complicit in a lot of terrorist acts.

      Russia is engaged in a sabotage campaign in Europe, so the reasons for blocking Russians from Europe is similar.
