    Why is the EU letting in Russians anyway? I don’t get it. Unless they are refugees and fleeing conscription, why are they being let in? It seems like a big risk.

      Because every € paid by tourists in the EU is a loss for Russia, everyone coming to live in the EU instead is a loss of workpower (and brain) for Russia.

      Russia will not win the war in Ukraine based on spying out movements in the EU. Ukraine will not win this war because of military superiority.

      There’s exactly one reason why Russia will lose and it’s purely economic. Seriously… Putin would love to close the borders and let no one out anymore if that wouldn’t bring a whole new set of problems. Why help him?

      There are people who are “unlucky to be born russian”, who still would like to see friends and family. Why make life worse for normies while rich fucks just circumvent any bans with golden passports?

        Maybe, so they can realise that their government is fighting an illegal war and is killing other normies everyday. And they, as the people of the country, should do something against it instead of traveling the world.

      I don’t think it’s risky in itself. If they were serious about anything, they’d put pressure on Putin through all the bourgeoisie.

      Shoulda blocked their orc asses from EU long ago. We dont want those backwards pieces of shit. Go home and fix your country, stop it murdering Ukrainians then we can consider letting em back.
