    I wasn’t suggesting the visa bans weren’t justified. I was just responding to bigotry in the post I responded to. Hating all Russians just because they live under a sadistic tyrant is no different than hating all Americans for the same reason.

      Amen! It’s crazy and dangerous times we live in where there’s no accountability, and no responsibility taken for anything the world leaders do. Putin kind of set the precedence in recent times by just openly invading another country. And Trump has more than caught up openly supporting Putin and Netanyahu. Xi is also doing his best, and these days there’s no political consensus to pressure China to not invade Taiwan. There would basically be no repercussions before it’s too late and the damage done.
