    I have a few Russian acquaintances here in Scandinavia. They are well accepted and appreciated.

    But they also fly the Ukrainian flag and are politically very opposed to Putin, the Russian regime and their foreign policies.

    It will not work coming to countries that are constantly being probed and provoked by the Russian military, intelligence and politics and claim you don’t care so it’s ok.

          If you werent thinking that, i think youve missed the point of the post and national security concerns. Its not always wilking. Chinese stidents overseas are tasked with spying on host countriea and do so out of fear ofntheir families. Literal spies from russia had infiltrated the NRA (and the presidency of course). Israelis spies travel under irish passports.

          Of course, not all foreign nationals are spies, but when countries are in conflict, it creates natural suspicion. Some is justified, some is not. How to tell the difference is the question.
