“Despite the negative attention from the MSM, the 2014 Winter Olympics and 2018 World Cup dispelled the notion that Russia was unsafe to travel around. Many thousands of people from around the world traveled to Russia and had a fantastic time there, including a number of FReepers.”
So... it’s a matter of “negative attention from the MSM” to you? Correct me if I’m wrong, but back in 2018 there was no war in Russia going on at that time. Things have changed... as they always do. Or is that not a reality that some here want to grasp?
To some here, apparently Russia is our best friend on planet earth. In what alternate universe would that be true? Remember that little thing called the “cold war”? How about the fact that Russia and Iran are ‘cozy’ now.
Sorry, but the delusional defense of Russia and/or Ukraine here is surreal to me. I just don’t get it. Neither are our friends or allies and neither should be getting our money OR our friendship.
Correct.
