@EugeneMcParland I don’t know. I’m conflicted. I also want Russians to see Europe, Ukraine included, as vital spaces with vibrant cultures and worth visiting and appreciating it on its own level.
@pictor @EugeneMcParland ... have you ever heard a "not interested in politics" average Russian talk about Ukraine?

@EugeneMcParland if russia was a democracy, i would support this sanction (but with exceptions for people with proof they voted against it), but russia is an autocracy, so this is just collective punishment for the actions of putin
@jakeyounglol @EugeneMcParland In Post-Soviet Russia, We're have Democracy party, Yabloko before Putin take power over Russia.

I don't think that we should generally discriminate all Russian citizens for having the wrong president there are enough Russian,s that suffer themself under Putin.Also I dont want to be hold responsible, or personal punished for the German government I didn't vote for.
@wolf @EugeneMcParland most of them are in favour of what their fellow monsters do to the people of Ukraine.

It’s time to end Schengen tourist visas for russian tourists. Holidays in the EU are a privilege, not a right for citizens of a country waging war on our continent.
@EugeneMcParland Is there a petition to sign … ?
I’m sure it would receive plenty of signatures..
How about an EU citizen’s legalation initiative?

@EugeneMcParland There are lots of wealthy ruzzians visiting their properties around the Mediterranean. Those are the ones not sent to fight as cannon-fodder, and supporting putin. Stopping them travelling is an obvious action the EU should impose.

Putin's daughter used to live in Amsterdam, that is no longer the case. Amsterdam is however close enough to London and Paris to not be bombed, flattening the Dutch capital would also affect the British and French capitals.

maybe every european capital should detain someone important enough or related to someone important enough as an insurance policy

I am not an expert on Putin's daughter(s), my assumption is that it is probably the same person who just moved from one place to another.

People in the Kremlin know well that the last thing they do will be to drop a nuke somewhere.All the threats about nuking Europe are solely meant for for internal consumption in Russia The Russian government understands very clearly that an uprise is developing. In order to temper the uprise they feed the Russian population a picture of a common enemy. These are the last gasps of a declining Russian regime. The only thing they have left is heavy repression.

@EugeneMcParland@mastodon.ie I honestly would make this more nuanced than a blanket ban on ALL russian people... You might hate me for saying this, because I realise this is a heated topic, but as much as I hate Putin, the Russian military, and all high power peopme in Russia, I doubt the PEOPLE of Russia agree with killing Ukranians... The government of Russia is actively hostile to their people, and routinely violates their freedom, the actions of the russian government do not represent the russian people, and therefore I don't think we should punish them for something they have no say in. Russia is not a democracy as much as the Russian government wants to paint it as one.
Allowing visas for Russian people also makes it possible for people who are probably at risk to flee their country and seek political asylum in Europe, which is something that may encourage people who disagree with Putin's regime to speak up against it.
I would make a very big blacklist with all Russian oligarchs and anyone who has any relation with the russian government though, but I doubt this will go anywhere because it turns out those types of Russians are the ones bringing big money to Europe, and the others don't... -

It is remarkable how many Russians live in European cities, especially Paris and London. Very wealthy Russians. Most of those are monetary rich but morally very poor. As far as I know they don't contribute anything to their local community. Maybe a handful do but in general they are more of a burden to the cities where they live.

Right, I don't think they would nuke. We have rational reasons why but then: "the assholes making the decisions, their families live in Europe" is the most hilariously direct argument
The Kremlin pushes so much "morally degenerate Westoids" propaganda, but then the families of the elites who lie to, rob and literally slaughter average Russians by sending them to die in Ukraine: they live in Europe
It's a giant farce. Average Russians need to wake up

And think of all the real estate, the mansions, the palaces, the yachts they have bought in Europe!

This reminds me of the story of Vladimir Popov the 23 yo Russian who was eaten alive by a shark at a beach by an Egyptian resort in Hurghada. The attack was recorded live on video by witnesses, him screaming for his father and being thrashed around by the shark. He dodged conscription only to be eaten by shark.
