Russia bans 92 Americans

Russia said Wednesday it has added 92 people to its list of Americans banned from entering the country, including journalists from The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and several U.S. officials.

Russia’s foreign ministry said the ban was applied "in response to the Russophobic course pursued by the Biden administration with the declared goal of 'inflicting a strategic defeat on Moscow.’"

"We remind the current U.S. authorities of the inevitability of punishment for hostile actions," the ministry statement said.

The banned journalists, the ministry said, represent “leading liberal-globalist publications involved in the production and dissemination of ‘fakes’ about Russia and the Russian armed forces.”

Because that is something you would never do. In fact, you are not doing it now, are you?

I'm wondering how many Russians have been banned from entering the US?
And look at all the damage they continue doing to us.
