If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

Yeah, right…

Carson, Segal, Musk, Trump… (add to the list as applicable)…

What would happen if the Soviet Union had simply annexed Manchuria after World War 2 or kept it independent as a puppet state allied them and separate from China as China was too weak too oppose it anyway?

No-one in their right minds would ever, willingly visit Russia!

(Which rather explains something else)…

I can just see us westerners; all fighting each-other to get to the front of the queue…

It is day 42 of the Trump administration. Is the war in Ukraine over? Is inflation solved? Are groceries cheaper?

(…and the Russians are paranoid that we in the west want to “INVADE” them!!!… Yeah, right… >In their bloody dreams<)!

Or; more likely, fighting each-other - trying to push someone-else (anyone-else) ahead of ourselves.
