Russian handcuffed himself to the entrance of McDonald's and addresses Western countries... tells them they need to realize that the sanctions affect the lives of ordinary people. "Why must we give up our habits?
He'd make a good wingnut.

Awww. , Useless. So much for "Ignored". You fail again. Plus, Useless, you've been busted too many times for anyone to believe you're not reading my posts, anyhow. It's just your excuse for cowering. Awww.
Makes me think that I should have an exit plan, just in case.
We are telling the refugees that make it here to stay out and get in line, but in the meantime to stay out.
I would hope to travel legally. I can worry about the tourist visa expiration when the time comes. Besides, some nations would hopefully be sympathetic to escapees from a RW autocracy.
You can live in Canada pretty much indefinitely as long as you leave once every six months. Mexico may be similar - we're looking into it. Ensenada looks good. California accepts refugees with bonafide Democratic registration.

Thanks.
Returning to the US might be dangerous for a political refugee, but perhaps one can go to a Canadian embassy/consulate in a 3rd country to renew a visa.
A RW autocracy will crack down on California first and hardest.

"U.S. officials at the San Ysidro border are turning away Ukrainians fleeing from the Russian invasion.
Friday morning, Nataliia Poliakova was one of more than a dozen war refugees who was denied access.
She fled her home in Kyiv five days after Russia’s invasion. Poliakova has lost track of the number of times she’s tried to enter the United States since arriving in Tijuana on Tuesday."
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”

Yeah, I know that an American has no right to expect compassion from other nations, but not everywhere is as hateful, xenophobic and evil as the US. Some are making it, though:
Is there a statute of limitations on war crimes? If not, we should still charge Cheney/Shrub for doing the exact same thing to Iraq - an invasion targeting civilians based on hundreds of lies.
On my way to a dental school appt today, I met a very nice young lady on the streetcar. She revealed, after some time (it was a long ride), in a whisper, that she was Russian and had been in the USA for two years (I think). She said it's been really a hard time for her because of all the anti-Russian sentiment going around now. I felt sorry for her but there wasn't much I could do.

It really puts you in a bind when I'm nice to you, doesn't it? You can post "Ignored" and look like an asshole or you can say nothing, like you did here, and confirm that you're reading my posts.
Marie Yovanovitch told Insider in an interview that Russian President Vladimir Putin didn't need to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine when Donald Trump was president because Trump was giving Putin everything he wanted.
With Trump, Yovanovitch said, Putin "could just sit back and let the good times roll."
Yovanovitch, Trump's former ambassador to Ukraine, pointed out the former president's "strong, clear admiration" for Putin and other strongmen; his "disparagement" of US allies; and his longstanding "negative" views on NATO and other global alliances.
All these things "emboldened Putin, there's no question about it," said Yovanovitch, a fluent Russian speaker and three-time ambassador during her over three decades in the Foreign Service.
Trump was repeatedly criticized throughout his presidency for kowtowing to Putin and making statements and policy decisions that were viewed as benefiting Russian interests, such as pushing for Russia to be readmitted to the G7 group — which had booted Russia for its aggression against Ukraine....
Yovanovitch specifically pointed to the infamous July 2019 phone call between Trump and Zelenskyy that was the linchpin of his impeachment. It was "very clear that the president of the United States was trading his office for a personal or political favor, rather than working in our national security interest to help strengthen a partner country," Yovanovitch told Insider.
It was "absolutely appalling," she said, adding that Trump's actions sent a signal to Putin and other strongmen around the world that they could "probably cut deals with this guy" and "manipulate this president."
I think this whole thing is going to escalate and go out of control. The money factor is starting to register on the Russians. Pretty soon they'll figure they've got nothing to lose.
Steven Seagal has really let himself go.
