MOSCOW (AP) — In response to a new round of U.S. sanctions, Russia announced Friday that it was banning 500 Americans from entering the country, including former President Barack Obama and comedian Stephen Colbert.
...
The ban includes 45 members of the U.S. House, Sens. J.D. Vance, Katie Britt and Eric Schmitt, and former ambassadors to Russia John Tefft and Jon Huntsman.

Colbert is like some kind of narcissistic, woke, karen grandmother.
Apparently homosexuals aren’t welcome over there.
Russian and American Marxists don’t get along?
I am sure they will all be heartbroken.
It’s a good thing Gyorgy Schwartz is banned from Russia, now if we could ban that evil old nazi from every last country on earth!
They haven’t been Marxist for 30 years. And that is why the American left despises them. It’s also why Russia doesn’t want them visiting. Try to keep up.
A better analogy would be in 1975, Germany refusing entry to American Nazis.
If Trump’s name isn’t on the list, there’s going to be trouble.
Yeo. I’m sure J.D. Vance is sobbing because he has to cancel his family vacation to climb the Irkutsk slag heap.
“They haven’t been Marxist for 30 years”
* Best friends with the PRC
* State owned corporations
* Socialized health care
* No freedom of speech
If it acts like a Marxist and quacks like a Marxist...
Close, but not him.
The war in Ukraine is between two factions of the left:
1) Neo-Stalinism in Russia
2) Transnational corporatist progressivism, as led by the US & NATO
Given that I already have to live under #2, I think it’s the more insidious of the two, and I don’t want the monolith to gain more power.
Hire Colbert to freelance Cannes as a last-minute presenter, then take him straight to Sheremetyevo. See what happens.
Obama was the one who gave Putin approval to invade Ukraine in 2012. Obama is a major Putin supporter.
Then, there is trouble.
The Russians squeezed everything they wanted out of Obama during his regime.
There’s a Colbert who has a show on late-night television but he’s not a comedian. Comedians make people laugh without audience prompts and cues. And they’re funny.
