Did Russians not ask to be sanctioned? Pootin said the West did not open up to Russia. Hundreds of Billions of dollars worth of Western Factory's and stores were built in Russia at a Missive risk and cost. (Russia is well known for stealing property. This is Russia's MO after all.) The West invited Russia to the International Space-station project. ( Giving Russia free tech and trying to be friends with Russia) Pootin will squeeze the Russian people more and more every year blaming it on the West. Nothing will be left, No freedoms, no food, Nothing but Pootin and his childhood school friends in total power over their slaves. The Russian people will be slowly reduced to bones, just like Alexei Navalny and so many millions of good Russian people before him. The New Russia is the same as the old Russia. The Russian people that have not gotten out are fools, Soon the Russian Iron Curtain will go up and they will never get out. The Russians that want the CCCP/USSR back, will get what they asked for. I do not think they will be happy with what they ask for tho, It will not be the same as they remembered it. As the nation of Russia dies the slow death the commies and despot's have set for the people of Russia over the past 200 years. I have never seen a more brain-washed people suffer more. It is a never ending sad story that only the people of Russia can change. When you obey your slave masters, They have power over. ( So much power the often starve you to death) When you do not obey they lose power, until the people have more power than the government. The government has no power without the people.
Yes, Sanctions are there to reduce a country economically and militarily. The problem is innocent people and vulnerable are affected the most. So Sanctions are bad and are indiscriminate.

What an ordeal. My wife is Russian from Petersburg and the faff and nightmare to get her to the UK is unreal. Not to mention the £20,000. Well done and beat of luck. Although the way things are in the West Russia is looking more and more like paradise to us!

It was just get off the airplane and go out into the city. It felt so od that I had to go ask if I missed something I was supposed to do. Poland was one of my favorite countries to visit but I went to parts of the south, including Krakow, but never Warsaw. Hotels seemed easy to find and I could just use cash. Did you see the Salt Mines in Krakow? Wow... The city square is also the best. Btw, I am a U.S. citizen. When you come--welcome! I wish you the best.

Another awesome video Svetlana! That was like a spy drama haha! As entertaining as it was to watch it looked like an absolute logistical nightmare. I would’ve cried and gone home. Looking forward to the next video! ❤🇨🇦
I have a winter home in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, and there are many wealthy Russians in my building and in the area. Over the years I have learned that these people are not well liked by Americans, but not because they are Russians, but rather because they are seen as corrupt or somehow associated with the Russian government or mafia. I personally don’t know, and it’s true that my Russian neighbors mostly keep to themselves because I think they sense the hostility, but I would like to get to know some of these people as they seem pretty normal to me. I realize the language barrier is a problem, but I have to get around that somehow. The generalized Russophobia in the US is unfortunate, and from this video I’m seeing that it’s no better in the European Union. Very unfortunate indeed.
Let's be honest, Americans have a history not being welcoming. It's in our DNA to steal, enslave and be elitist. So it's not just in Florida, it's everywhere.
i never noticed any "russophopia" my entire life living in central europe. that changed since the beginning of war in 2022. but there is a reason for it. a lot of russians, almost every russian i know wont shut up about russian war propaganda. not like they are against it, they say all european countrys are only full of gay liars that worship satan or whatever while russia is always the best. thats fxcking annoying, they think all western media is 100% lie while russian media is always telling the truth. if you hear this allday you start thinking that all russians are mentally insane. whis is not the case. ^^

The only thing that surprises me is you want to go to the US. Can’t think of any country i would want to be less than there. However I wish you luck and hope you succeed in whatever you aim for.
they don't want her either. Moscow has created hostility for Russians traveling abroad. She should just stay home until Putin gets cirrhosis of the liver and things improve in the world

Yes, the war that Putin started really made it difficult to be a russian abroad and inside Russia itself. Not that it can have been a dance on roses before either,but theset hings that you Svetlana had to go through would discourage anyone from trying to travel,at least somewhat..and travel now,is something many,many russians feels for doing at this time..
I’m curious: with your Schengen visa , wasn’t possible to go by bus in Estonia or Finland ? In the maps Tallinn or Helsinki are not too far from Saint Petersburg .
The border is closed to Finland because Russian officials were systematically bringing people from Africa to Lappland with bicycles! Winter is cold, like -20 & -30C. It was better to close the border than let innocent people to be used in a twisted game.

As for LOT Polish Airlines, all inner Schengen flights have no control, so booking LOT would be fine. They don't allow Russian passport holders to board flights from Belgrade or Istanbul. Travel within the Schengen area means no checks at all as you said, a LOT can't change those rules and ask for passports on Paris - Warsaw or other Schengen flights.
As a Canadian going to the US Embassy Surprisingly not difficult at all. Basically they Welcome me in chat with me for a couple of minutes and that's it. I understand you are Russian so it's a lot more to it. In Canada you just need a Canadian to Sponsor you to come over here. love your video. can't wait to watch the next one
I'm so hopeful for you Svetlana! I am avidly watching to see how this turns out. Best of luck and I really hope everything goes smoothly for you :) Wishing the best from Ottawa!!
pretty but stop complaining, that is only a 3months wait. 🙂 In the US, I make an appointment to see a a doctor for a check up. Just a normal check up. The next available spot is July.. I forgot which day. that is a five month wait..
We've been through all this. K-Visa - 688 days total wait but in the US now. Always buy airline tix with insurance. Learned the hard way too. Do not reserve accomodations ahead of time. Avoid EU... especially Poland. US visa interview can be moved from Warsaw to Oman, Azerbaijan, Serbia, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, several others. We did ours in Mexico. The best entry/exit right now is either Istanbul or Dubai IMHO. We've done both. K-Visa does not require vaccines. There is legislation pending to change requirements for the I-485. Flight into the US still requires it. Fly to Mexico City, connect to Juarez or Tijuana then walk or drive into the US. No vaccine requirement for land crossings. Hope the info is helpful to someone going through this process

Wow - the Propaganda really is strong amongst many comment creators. As a Russian I would not visit Europe anyways. I'm from Northern Europe living in the Southern Part. Europe is being oppressed by the US and on a quick downturn. Spain for example has No growth in average wages for 22 years.
Because this concern, Russia is a third world country and you are from the first world, things weren't supposed to be good? Don't like paying 1000 euros for an iPhone? I was told that this is wonderful
@@Ksovz what makes you think that Russia is a 'third world country'? Measured in purchasing power Russia is the largest economy in Europe, passing Germany in 2023 and number 5 in the world behind China, the US, India and Japan. It is also the by far cleanest and its people are happy with their leaders. I suggest you visit and see for yourself. Only people who have not been to Russia thinks it's a third world country.
Ohh wow! So dynamic video. I didn't like only one thing in the end that it's like in TV-series you need to wait the next episode to know how it finished =))
You must hear me thinking. Not one hour ago I was wondering and kinda-sorta hoping you would appear. Very good to "Sees" you are well. Happy Valentines to you and yours. A music vibe... 4-Miserlou Klezmerson
I’m going to tell you right now if you applied for a US visa and you went through the interview they would accept you immediately. But often the path of least resistance is the best path to take.
You complain about how difficult it is for russians to acces EU or the US seems like you dont understand why the situations is like this, as a viewer I wonder if you support what your president is doing, a question how will you vote inte the coming election?
I hope things change and get better for Russian citizens to be able to travel. It shouldn’t be this way. Blessings to you Svetlana, "good luck and bon voyage!"
you don't need to worry about your U.S. vaccines, you fly to acapulco mexico you take a cruise ship to tijuana mexico and cross border to the states or take the ship direct to san diego california and you're in. also cancun mexico to miami florida. both are nice trips
No country actually wanted to hurt the average Russian. But they are collateral damage. I suspect that these sanctions are going to last far longer than you and I could imagine. I wanted to visit Russia for a long time no longer do I have that intention my presence would be unwanted anyway. I could say more, but it’s pointless
The whole purpose of EU and Western sanctions is precisely to hurt ordinary Russians you chump, you obviously are very ill informed about current events
Yes, sanctions will probably last our life time. And the only way they can change is for russia to leave ukraine and start paying for the rebuilt, and dictator putin wont let that happen, and the people dont seem to stop following this dictator so
I hope you get to travel any where you want. I have often been dreaming of travelling every country to experience the culture and traditions. Unfortunately about 12 years ago I experienced that I could only get a Visa to visit Russia and yet I only needed a passport to visit China. 😮
Russia is ruled by control freaks from former KGB. The country is very hard for visiting on purpose: they want as little foreigners as possible in Russia so that Russian people belive the wild stories their propaganda tells about the outer world.
She's a Russian living in Russia. If she talks about his death, she's going to a gulag and you know it. You see the citizens being detained just for leaving flowers?
USA hear. New sub. Thank you for the videos. Russian people are not our enemy. At least I hope they don't think we are. I hate that we give weapons to fight them. And im not picking sides. Like that one person said.... governments fight... Puppets fight. Im much smarter than that.
Russian credit cards are excluded from bank cooperation with western countries as I understand it, and there are secondary sanctions so countries and companies that cooperate with Russia risk being sanctioned as punishment, so many choose to stop cooperating with Russia because it pays off.
I hope when you get to America, it's everything you want. Word of advice, I was in the US Military, so Iv lived all around the US. The Southern States, are the best part of America.
because she wants to apply for a green card in the USA. obviously she's had enough of living in a shithole country like russia. I hope she won't get one and will have to return to the motherland and keep living under a dictatorship
Thanks for educating us about issues of russian people in these weird times. Hope your trip will go well, and that you will enjoy it. I'll wait for an update later. Have a nice day & a nice trip.
In these "weird times"??? War. Its called war. You're looking for the word war. Russian people have started a war against Ukraine... which has led to a slew of negative consequences for the Russian people. War. Its called war, not "weird" times.
As a European,living mostly in Asia, with a bench of Russians, glorifying Putin and the war, I would love to see that Europe COMPLETELY CLOSE ANY ACCÈS TO ANY RUSSIANS.
In other words "I will generalize the entire nation and advocate for maximum restrictions on them, because certain people say things that I didn't like, because I'm an asshole" well maybe you don't think you are one, but with that way of thinking you definitely are.
I wish you from the bottom of my heart that you will not have to regret this decision of move to this messy and harsh country. I'm saying this from my personal experience I have made that move a 40 years ago as a refugee and let me tell you that sixs years of living there was enough for me so I left the US for Canada and I will never ever move back.

This is exciting news. You have so much to contribute Svetlana, and I hope you make it to my country the USA very soon. Good luck, and may God be with you throughout your journey. :-)
Я желаю тебе удачи. But i would not leave Russia if i lived there and had a stable income. Not even if my wife was American!
greeting from denmark, so sorry to hear that.. this is so bloody stupid EU goverments
I forgot how good your videos are. I particularly liked the happy snowman. …Great to see you back.
One love, one world. 🪬💚🌀
It is so strange that so many countries would just suddenly decide to restrict entry to russians. Did something happen? I watched the whole video but she does not explain ...
@@financein1minute War in Ukraine, Slavery/Communism/Nazism in Slavic countries plus many others, the fall of USSR is what gave freedom. Now we have more countries under Russian Federation, and Putin has flags of his face hanging everywhere, in each country he conquered. I can't think of any country that enjoys their sweet faces?
Ukraine War sanctions.
@@financein1minute I may explain to you. It is the western stupidity imported from US.

I'm a disrace with not as much justifycation of keeping my place of living though would welcome poping round I'll keep trying to keep myself as your people as much as I can & for that I love!
Congratulations on getting there. Hopefully everything goes well at the interview.
Another awesome video Svetlana! That was like a spy drama haha! As entertaining as it was to watch it looked like an absolute logistical nightmare. I would’ve cried and gone home. Looking forward to the next video! ❤🇨🇦
I have a winter home in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, and there are many wealthy Russians in my building and in the area. Over the years I have learned that these people are not well liked by Americans, but not because they are Russians, but rather because they are seen as corrupt or somehow associated with the Russian government or mafia. I personally don’t know, and it’s true that my Russian neighbors mostly keep to themselves because I think they sense the hostility, but I would like to get to know some of these people as they seem pretty normal to me. I realize the language barrier is a problem, but I have to get around that somehow. The generalized Russophobia in the US is unfortunate, and from this video I’m seeing that it’s no better in the European Union. Very unfortunate indeed.
We glad all the CORRUPT people ( mostly Jews from Russia) moved to USA! ENJOY! WE DONT WANR THEM!
Yes, she needs to be aware that the grass isn't any greener over here than it is in the EU
@@tutnetam you are the most corrupt country in Europe... you sure ALL of them left?
Let's be honest, Americans have a history not being welcoming. It's in our DNA to steal, enslave and be elitist. So it's not just in Florida, it's everywhere.
i never noticed any "russophopia" my entire life living in central europe. that changed since the beginning of war in 2022.
but there is a reason for it. a lot of russians, almost every russian i know wont shut up about russian war propaganda.
not like they are against it, they say all european countrys are only full of gay liars that worship satan or whatever while russia is always the best.
thats fxcking annoying, they think all western media is 100% lie while russian media is always telling the truth.
if you hear this allday you start thinking that all russians are mentally insane. whis is not the case. ^^
Happy for you but sad knowing once you move to USA we won't see your videos anymore .
Is Sveta looking to re-settle here in the USA?
Hello I am happy that you make it. I am a Turkish who lived in Poland for 20 years which I left from Poland 3 years ago. I have 2 citizen and Regarding Lot what you heard is correct. And good luck 👍
I am Not and NEVER would be that desperate to enter USA, far better better countries in the world to visit and live without having to jump through hoops
Good ... we don't want you here anyway.
Merci la France. I am proud that my country does not penalize the simple russian citizen.
You have flight to Belgrade every day two times from Moscow and Sant Petersburg .
Serbia is not in Schengen, so it wouldn't work.
THAILAND LOVES RUSSIAN WOMEN AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WELCOME!!!
You are doing it the hard way. You could have just gone to Mexico and walk across the Southern border.))))

If I am going to donate your channel, I want you to do a video where you clarify how you look at your countries actions in Ukraine and what you think about Vladimir Putin and his leadership.
if you folow her you will know. She does not want to be in trouble or in jail for 20 years because of a couple of dollars.
Most people cannot speak truth. Channel 1420 does find some gems though.
The only thing that surprises me is you want to go to the US. Can’t think of any country i would want to be less than there. However I wish you luck and hope you succeed in whatever you aim for.
they don't want her either. Moscow has created hostility for Russians traveling abroad. She should just stay home until Putin gets cirrhosis of the liver and things improve in the world
It sounds like an epic story for Russian lady, to get into US. I cannot believe how much time, money and effort it actually takes.
I am sorry for Ukrainian people, they are the victims of Putins aggressions and war crimes. I am not sorry for Russia being cancelled.
Svetlana please help 😢.
I am Indian Student in Russia.
I study and work here but after two months I am going to Germany. The problem is I have 1 million rubles and I want to exchange currency from rubles to USD or Euro. Please make video or tell me how you exchanged your rubles before going to Europe?

Unless there's some humanitarian reason, I don't see why the U.S. or the E.U. should be granting tourist visas to Russians. And it's a little hard to imagine this woman having anything more urgent going on than a desire to keep the UA-cam revenues flowing.

Yes, the war that Putin started really made it difficult to be a russian abroad and inside Russia itself. Not that it can have been a dance on roses before either,but theset hings that you Svetlana had to go through would discourage anyone from trying to travel,at least somewhat..and travel now,is something many,many russians feels for doing at this time..
I’m curious: with your Schengen visa , wasn’t possible to go by bus in Estonia or Finland ? In the maps Tallinn or Helsinki are not too far from Saint Petersburg .
The borders are closed, to Finland and to Estonia.
Got it. Thanks
The border is closed to Finland because Russian officials were systematically bringing people from Africa to Lappland with bicycles! Winter is cold, like -20 & -30C. It was better to close the border than let innocent people to be used in a twisted game.
@@annarytkoenen1339 You have a proof where it was "Russian officials" who were bring the refugees, and not the same people who bring them by a boatload from Africa to Spain and Italy?

Svetlana, that was a really interesting video! Thank you! X
As for LOT Polish Airlines, all inner Schengen flights have no control, so booking LOT would be fine. They don't allow Russian passport holders to board flights from Belgrade or Istanbul. Travel within the Schengen area means no checks at all as you said, a LOT can't change those rules and ask for passports on Paris - Warsaw or other Schengen flights.
People, now it's obvious whose cues she follows. Shame on you, Svetlana.
Exactly... Another channel recently showed its hand... Some are very busy working.... Leaving this channel.
As a Canadian going to the US Embassy Surprisingly not difficult at all. Basically they Welcome me in chat with me for a couple of minutes and that's it.
I understand you are Russian so it's a lot more to it. In Canada you just need a Canadian to Sponsor you to come over here. love your video. can't wait to watch the next one
You need to write on a folder a check list of everything you need. That way you can make sure you have exactly what you need
I'm so hopeful for you Svetlana! I am avidly watching to see how this turns out. Best of luck and I really hope everything goes smoothly for you :) Wishing the best from Ottawa!!
When traveling do you feel embarrassed being russian. Ordinary Ukrainians feel scared and terror, How does ordinary russian feel.
pretty but stop complaining, that is only a 3months wait. 🙂 In the US, I make an appointment to see a a doctor for a check up. Just a normal check up. The next available spot is July.. I forgot which day. that is a five month wait..
Sanction don't harm them since the sanction Russian economy is bigger than Europe.
Russia has a smaller economy than just Germany alone actually
We've been through all this. K-Visa - 688 days total wait but in the US now.
Always buy airline tix with insurance. Learned the hard way too. Do not reserve accomodations ahead of time.
Avoid EU... especially Poland. US visa interview can be moved from Warsaw to Oman, Azerbaijan, Serbia, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, several others. We did ours in Mexico.
The best entry/exit right now is either Istanbul or Dubai IMHO. We've done both.
K-Visa does not require vaccines. There is legislation pending to change requirements for the I-485. Flight into the US still requires it. Fly to Mexico City, connect to Juarez or Tijuana then walk or drive into the US. No vaccine requirement for land crossings.
Hope the info is helpful to someone going through this process
No, that is not helpful at all.
It seems that it is still too easy to get to Europe from Russia. Hopefully in the future it will be made more difficult.
Watching your videos. You are resourceful and determined and those traits will serve you well. Keep us updated on your journey.
True representative democracy must come to Russia in order for it to flourish by unleashing it’s full human potential.
Wow good luck Svetlana, what an ordeal, love your channel, very educational and happy travels
You do realize this video is part of Russian propaganda? There a lot of these Russian channels with pretty girls intended to get sympathy for Russians from Western men. Please don't be a fool.
Great video,
I always thought you were US citizen as well.
I think it has to do with filtering Spies from legitimate tourist into the EU.
Ps
Try to use a VPN to book
congrats!

@@pgabrieliShe is not from the army who gave herself up along with two soldiers against their will and a helicopter that cost a few million dollars she is not a threat to Russia just like several of them left from Russia and went to live in Dubai, no one cares about these people
@@Ksovz I don't give a shit about her. I was making a point about how fucked up russia is, that's all
Why you don’t do a video on that madman Putin?
Wow - the Propaganda really is strong amongst many comment creators.
As a Russian I would not visit Europe anyways. I'm from Northern Europe living in the Southern Part.
Europe is being oppressed by the US and on a quick downturn. Spain for example has No growth in average wages for 22 years.
Agreed
Because this concern, Russia is a third world country and you are from the first world, things weren't supposed to be good? Don't like paying 1000 euros for an iPhone? I was told that this is wonderful
@@Ksovz what makes you think that Russia is a 'third world country'?
Measured in purchasing power Russia is the largest economy in Europe, passing Germany in 2023 and number 5 in the world behind China, the US, India and Japan. It is also the by far cleanest and its people are happy with their leaders.
I suggest you visit and see for yourself. Only people who have not been to Russia thinks it's a third world country.
Ohh wow! So dynamic video. I didn't like only one thing in the end that it's like in TV-series you need to wait the next episode to know how it finished =))
Haha, thanks!😁
Trying to increase my retention rate😆
Scary and disapointing this is possible, Happy my country doesen't allow this. Still hoping for a full ban
why don't you travel just within russia?
😂
Yup,travel to some nice willages in russia😮im sure those willages would be nice to visit😊
And see what?

Bravo an excellent posts. One of your best, Hard work but you are very determined and organised.
Through advertising, she also gets paid for it!
I’m going to tell you right now if you applied for a US visa and you went through the interview they would accept you immediately. But often the path of least resistance is the best path to take.
You complain about how difficult it is for russians to acces EU or the US seems like you dont understand why the situations is like this, as a viewer I wonder if you support what your president is doing, a question how will you vote inte the coming election?
I hope everything is resolved soon for Russian citizens around the world.🍀🌺🍀🌺🍀🌺🍀🌺🍀🌺🍀🌺🍀🌺🍀🌺🍀
Love Russia 🇷🇺
Agreed,the sooner Putin is gone the better for the people of russia
Now that was very interesting and just can,t wait to see what comes up next. Take care young Lady. (Florida Bob) USA.
We are all pawns that get used and abused by goverment buearacrats.
I hope things change and get better for Russian citizens to be able to travel. It shouldn’t be this way. Blessings to you Svetlana, "good luck and bon voyage!"
Only Russian citizens can make a change.
No victor you are so delusional, half of your population is pro war. We dont want you.
The live and times of Sweet Svetlana!
It will be fine, just make sure you get here before Trump gets elected in November.
❤❤❤
you don't need to worry about your U.S. vaccines, you fly to acapulco mexico you take a cruise ship to tijuana mexico and cross border to the states or take the ship direct to san diego california and you're in. also cancun mexico to miami florida. both are nice trips
No country actually wanted to hurt the average Russian. But they are collateral damage. I suspect that these sanctions are going to last far longer than you and I could imagine. I wanted to visit Russia for a long time no longer do I have that intention my presence would be unwanted anyway. I could say more, but it’s pointless
The whole purpose of EU and Western sanctions is precisely to hurt ordinary Russians you chump, you obviously are very ill informed about current events
They want to hurt average Russian. Western governments want to destroy Russia.
They want to hurt average Russian. Western governments want to destroy Russia.
Yes, sanctions will probably last our life time. And the only way they can change is for russia to leave ukraine and start paying for the rebuilt, and dictator putin wont let that happen, and the people dont seem to stop following this dictator so
By going to russia you risk to be arrested on false accusation they need foreigners as exchange material for russian criminals un detention abroad
I hope you get to travel any where you want. I have often been dreaming of travelling every country to experience the culture and traditions. Unfortunately about 12 years ago I experienced that I could only get a Visa to visit Russia and yet I only needed a passport to visit China. 😮
Russia is ruled by control freaks from former KGB.
The country is very hard for visiting on purpose: they want as little foreigners as possible in Russia so that Russian people belive the wild stories their propaganda tells about the outer world.
It's a weird day for a video..
pre-recorded? maybe she will talk about his death later
@@hyy3657 It would be nice, but I don't think it will happen
@@BTx933🤫🫣🫢
She's a Russian living in Russia. If she talks about his death, she's going to a gulag and you know it. You see the citizens being detained just for leaving flowers?
@@hyy3657 Russia is not a free Country so you cannot talk about such matters openly, especially in front of thousands of people on social media.
USA hear. New sub. Thank you for the videos. Russian people are not our enemy. At least I hope they don't think we are. I hate that we give weapons to fight them. And im not picking sides. Like that one person said.... governments fight... Puppets fight. Im much smarter than that.
Russian credit cards are excluded from bank cooperation with western countries as I understand it, and there are secondary sanctions so countries and companies that cooperate with Russia risk being sanctioned as punishment, so many choose to stop cooperating with Russia because it pays off.
Should not have started a war if they wanted to continue friendly relations with Europe.
I hope when you get to America, it's everything you want. Word of advice, I was in the US Military, so Iv lived all around the US. The Southern States, are the best part of America.
I'm curious why Svetlana getting a visa is ''a life and death situation'' ?
she probably texted with some rich american that wants to marry her. she is making a huge mistake
May be in the video at 17min:05 to 17min15 explains?
because she wants to apply for a green card in the USA. obviously she's had enough of living in a shithole country like russia. I hope she won't get one and will have to return to the motherland and keep living under a dictatorship
Thanks!
Thank you so much!😊
Waste of money
I have been to the USA. Went to college there, but came back to Europe after graduation.
I like it better back home in Europe.
Great!! Please stay in your country
We don’t want you in the USA
Thanks for educating us about issues of russian people in these weird times. Hope your trip will go well, and that you will enjoy it. I'll wait for an update later. Have a nice day & a nice trip.
In these "weird times"??? War. Its called war. You're looking for the word war. Russian people have started a war against Ukraine... which has led to a slew of negative consequences for the Russian people. War. Its called war, not "weird" times.
Im indifferent about russia america is fked
As a European,living mostly in Asia, with a bench of Russians, glorifying Putin and the war, I would love to see that Europe COMPLETELY CLOSE ANY ACCÈS TO ANY RUSSIANS.
In other words "I will generalize the entire nation and advocate for maximum restrictions on them, because certain people say things that I didn't like, because I'm an asshole" well maybe you don't think you are one, but with that way of thinking you definitely are.
Wow, I also want an immigration visa, where do I sign up?
Hey man nice to see you here, look at getting a visa for Andorra b between Spain and France. You can easily start a business there
I wish you from the bottom of my heart that you will not have to regret this decision of move to this messy and harsh country. I'm saying this from my personal experience I have made that move a 40 years ago as a refugee and let me tell you that sixs years of living there was enough for me so I left the US for Canada and I will never ever move back.
I NEEEED to know what happens next 😱
You will! 😄 Soon!
Busted out laughing when she said the haters can suck it!!🤣🤣
