Russia bans 963 Americans from the country including Biden, Harris, Zuckerberg. But not Trump.

Russia permanently banned more than 900 American politicians, celebrities and executives from entering the country, including President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and actor Morgan Freeman.

The Russian Foreign Ministry announced the bans on Saturday as part of a response to sanctions imposed on the country as a result of the invasion of Ukraine, as well as others who have publicly denounced Russian President Vladimir Putin. In total, 963 people are now banned.

"We emphasize that the hostile actions taken by Washington, which boomerang against the United States itself, will continue to receive a proper rebuff," the ministry said in a statement. "Russian counter-sanctions are forced and aimed at forcing the ruling American regime, which is trying to impose a neo-colonial 'rules-based world order' on the rest of the world, to change its behavior, recognizing new geopolitical realities."

In addition to Biden and Harris, other notable names "who incite Russophobia" on the list include Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Hillary Clinton.

But if they ban George Washington or Rosa Parks, I will withdraw my support of them.

Stupid military planning. Stupid military execution. Stupid Leadership. Maniacs and Genocide. War criminals. But now banning the dead! What's to come next? Horrors!
