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.

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

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

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

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

(Which rather explains something else)…

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

Is the saying "nice guys finish last" true? Can good intentions always lead to positive outcomes?

Yeah, right…

Cheers!
