Can the US forbid travel to Russia by Americans? This is ridiculous

Americans have no business being over there.

The Russians snatch Americans up and put them in jail where they are held as political prisoners and used as leverage.

The Americans eventually release Russian CRIMINALS while Russia releases innocent civilian Americans.

The trade is not equal.


Somehow the US has to either forbid travel to Russia or people need to be told the US is out of the hostage trade with Russia. You go over and get snatched we are not expending time and resources to negotiate your return. And we are especially not trading you for legit convicted Russian criminals.

Travel at your own risk. It’s not American to restrict travel.

I suppose people forget foreign police operate under different laws... And sometimes no laws. Would not risk that trip at all.

If you don't break the law over there or work for an intelligence agency then you are pretty much okay.

I think the female basketball player who was swapped was playing in a league over there. Just don't carry pot through customs.

How un-American of you. Let people travel where they want. If you’re dumb enough to travel to Russia you deserve what comes to you.

Evan knew this, yet he chose to live there because he was “bravely” reporting journalism. Now he lost a year and a half of his life and we had to give up true scum for his foolishness.

A 20 - 4 trade is a bad deal

I know a missionary who went to Russia. He knew the risk but the reward was greater.

No, but they should encourage every dem, antifa, blm and patriot front member to go there. Even some of the rino's to.

The US doesn't use exit visas, so no can't outright forbid it.

Can refuse consular services however. That can be significant in Russia because sometimes exit visas are required there including all business entry visas.
