If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

I can just see us westerners; all fighting each-other to get to the front of the queue…

Yeah, right…

Carson, Segal, Musk, Trump… (add to the list as applicable)…

Why is US hell bent on a private capitalist free opinion sharing platform like Tiktok? What happened to their mantra of so-called free spirit of capitalism and freedom of expression that they have been preaching to the rest of the world for decades?

(Which rather explains something else)…

(…and the Russians are paranoid that we in the west want to “INVADE” them!!!… Yeah, right… >In their bloody dreams<)!

No-one in their right minds would ever, willingly visit Russia!

What is the most exciting aspect of driving an 18-wheeler truck across America (or any other country)?

Cheers!

Or; more likely, fighting each-other - trying to push someone-else (anyone-else) ahead of ourselves.
