Maybe we should do this with elected offices while we're at it.
not allow them to fly our air force planes?
We should do this with liberals. Many are commies at heart. Some like Bernie Sanders honey mooned in Moscow
Russians are discriminated against in Germany for sure
Colleagues are Russian, and one told me he can't even buy a drone, and is being pestered by his bank. They want to drop him, basically - he is fully employed, normal dude, anti war, been here before the war, and this is just nonsense and should stop RIGHT AWAY.
Lots of Russians don't like the war, and even if they are on Russia's side, we shouldn't treat them as 2nd class citizens. It's not a bad 2nd class (not full on discrimination), don't get me wrong, BUT any kind of discrimination sucks and you feel bad of course if you are at the receiving stick. It sucks, takes time and is just wrong.
^ Then let them stay the f*** in Russia
US just telling how lethal is F35
Are dual U.S.-Israeli passport holders in the Israeli air force exempt?
I really hate drones too but that's fucked up
