you know, happen to you in such a personal manner.

Like, yeah, I now realize that I cannot go and visit many of my friends.

I can't go to the next rally, which is planned for May.

I cannot set foot in a country that I otherwise love.

You know, I don't love the establishment, but I love the people.

And I would have loved to go there again.

Absolutely.

I totally agree.

And the same thing is happening on the continent in Europe, by the way.

I mean, good that you bring up Russia, because I don't know.

I think not many people are aware of this, but something incredible happened here just a month ago where the European Union...

put out sanctions, like restrictive measures, and placed them on European citizens who they claim, and I quote, were distributing or manipulating false information.

So they were saying that these citizens were destabilizing Ukraine and

on behalf of the Russian government, that's at least their claim, by manipulating information in the European Union.

But as far as I know, Ukraine is not a member of the European Union, so why would they feel the need to protect the stability of that nation?

And second of all, those people just received, again, just like me, they just received that decision by the European Union.

And what happened to them is far worse than what happened to me because they froze their assets and they said, you are not allowed to travel.

And this was a decision made by the European Council.

No due process, no court order, no fair trial, nothing.

So the European Union is doing that to its own citizens under the pretext of, you know, sanctioning Russia.
