To travel to Russia, you need a visa, a sponsor, complete list of where you will be staying...it is not easy.
My wife travels to Russia on her Moldova passport, no questions asked, but if you have a USA passport, good luck getting a visa.

If you're honest and/or are just a wannabe terrorist - join the Chechens in some gulag.

Wonder how Paul Ryan and Rohrabacher are doing re their payments....
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dana_Rohrabacher#Russia

Early in Rohrabacher's congressional career in 1990 or 1991, KGB agent and deputy mayor of Saint Petersburg Vladimir Putin and two other Russians entered Rohrabacher's congressional office in Washington D.C. who subsequently became close friends according to Rohrabacher during a 2013 interview with KPCC.

Nevertheless, I'm glad your post made me reread my own post and delete it. I wouldn't want real members of the Guard to take offense by thinking I was making fun of the "Be a Guard" program. I think it's a great idea to have people thinking of joining the military get a sampling of what it's like before they sign up and find themselves on an airplane to bootcamp.

Have a good day!

an honorary home-town boy. And the Trumpie doofus decides to go to Kenya of all places. Kenya...If I wanted to go someplace where Biden, Obama, and Democrats weren’t popular and where I might have extended my stay, I wouldn’t have picked Kenya.

Maybe the Trumpie sub genius decided that he couldn’t master Hungarian and that Poland was too cold for his liking.

Or just trying to say, "See? I'm not racist.?"

Or maybe he got misinformed that he could not be extradited or deported from there.

Hey, Nazis came to the US after WWII and "blended" until people recognized some of them and turned them in.

How these bastards were allowed to just saunter out of the Capitol & go home or out to dinner or whatever is infuriatingly unjust, especially in light of how poc are routinely treated by law enforcement.
