Of course it’s a foreign country but when did that ever stop them?
They don’t know how to behave like civilized people.
Kick em out, visa ban.
RT @asestritsyn: russian diplomats vandalizing a yellow and blue bike outside their embassy and spraypainting a hate symbol Z is a valid reason to send them packing. A strong reaction from GAC must follow. #StandWithUkraine

A vitally important piece by David Rothkopf @djrothkopf on the potential pan-European disaster to ensure if Putin decides to become a nuclear terrorist.
With some points by yours truly as well.

Russia suspended the EU-RU visa facilitation agreement, whereby you could visit 2 X 90 days a year, already on April 14.
Why has the @EU_Commission not reciprocated?
Laziness? Political pressure.
I hope the EU paper of record, the @FT will find the answer.
RT @pmakela1: Finland will reduce the acceptance of Russian visa applications to 10% of the current rate. Finland also supports the suspension of the EU-Russia visa agreements.…

In a smarmy show of faux humanitarian concern, Scholz is against a tourist visa ban.
He knows full well any dissident can get a humanitarian visa from any EU embassy.
Where are all these Russians escaping *today* on tourist visas?
The intellectual dishonesty is incredible.

THIS! 👇👇👇
(Though I still think welding two washing machines (and perhaps a toilet) on it would also turn it into an object of permanent disgust and shame, a true monument to the reality of Russian occupation across Central and Eastern Europe: brutality and looting)
RT @marishellrand: Today the tank of Narva will be removed. Good riddance. A killing machine can’t be the core of a human’s identity.

So give them well-vetted humanitarian visas, not the blanket tourist visas that bring hundreds of thousands of badly behaved boors to travel through Europe on Schengen visas, harassing genuine refugees.
The intellectual level of the bundesregierung is astounding.
