They speak Russian. They also hang around in small groups in the burbs and aren't apparently going to the bars or with "girlfriends". The clues are out there.

If banning Russians, only fair to Ukrainians too, it takes two to tango. Sanctions are hurting other countries who should not be involved. Old Russian saying, "don't praise yourself when going to war, but when coming out* The sanctions are to punish Russia for unleashing war on the Ukraine. Not to punish Ukraine for defending themselves. 5 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for the sanctions that were going to bring Russia to it's knees and isolate them..... As a generalization, Russians are very rude baht bus riders. They constantly jump queues, pushing and shoving, and if you board a bus they will take up extra seats and not give way to the point where I have had no choice other than to literally SIT ON THEM. I am not exaggerating. Interestingly I have yet to be punched by a Russian that I have used as a seat. I suspect they kind of respect such behavior.

While I would accept that all Russians have some collective responsibility the military avoiders are more like refugees than tourists. Of course unless wealthy, they'll need to move on to other countries or even be forced to go home. Also of course they vary in support of the war from gung ho Z fascists to fleeing activists. My feeling is that the majority are apolitical but surprise surprise the politics came to bite them.

Aeroflot has 3X/4X weekly flights SVO-HKT/BKK. They operate B777, for which they have limited access to parts and service. Planes are packed, in one direction at least.

What would you do if you were facing prison for being drafted into a war you disagreed with ??? You’d stand by your moralistic principles, refuse and publicly protest, right ???? You wouldn’t try and get out of the country to avoid jail and spending your ‘blood money’ elsewhere making a hypocrite of yourself, would you ??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
