In response to the ever-expanding anti-Russian sanctions, under which the Biden Administration brings an increasing number of Russian citizens - both officials and their families, as well as representatives of business circles, scientists and cultural figures - 29 Americans are included in the "stop list" from among the top leaders, businessmen, experts and journalists who form the Russophobic agenda, as well as the spouse of a number of high-ranking officials. These persons are denied entry to the Russian Federation on an indefinite basis.

The following is a list of names:
  1. Kamala Devi Harris - Vice President of the United States;
  2. Kathleen Holland Hicks - First Deputy Secretary of Defense;
  3. Christopher Watson Grady - Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff;
  4. John Francis Kirby - Deputy Secretary of Defense, official representative of the Department of Defense;
  5. Ronald Klain - White House Chief of Staff;

  17. William Brown, President of L-3 Harris Technologies;
  18. Wahid Nawabi, President of Aerovironment;
  19. Roger Krone, President of Leidos;

  28. Kevin Rothrock – expert at the Wilson Center, editor-in-chief of the English version of the Meduza media portal;

“I hereby challenge Vladimir Putin to single combat,” Musk wrote on Twitter Monday. “Stakes are Ukraine.”

Musk wrote out both Putin’s name and the word “Ukraine” in Cyrillic script. But while Putin’s name was written out in Russian, “Ukraine” was written in Ukrainian, a show of support from the world’s richest man toward the plight of Ukrainian citizens after Russia’s unprovoked invasion of the country over two weeks ago.
The tweet has yet to receive a response from Putin, but Russian government officials have been happy to respond in his stead.

“You, little devil, are still young,” tweeted Dmitry Rogozin, head of Russian space agency Roscosmos. “Compete with me weakling. It would only be a waste of time.”


I guess challenging Putin to combat does not get you on this ban list.

So Obama ordered the destruction of the molds for the tiles for the American Space Shuttle.

The shuttle's will never fly again.

We do not have a replacement, and given spending priorities, we likely never will again.

Our astronauts hitched Rides to the ISS via the Russian heavy lifter program.

So...

It is now the Russian Space Station.

Hey! Biden/Obama3 did this!

Your fake concern is noted and dismissed.
