They’re among the 1,048 Americans on Russia’s Shit, excuse me, Stop List (as of today) for offending Putin et al by criticizing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, or maybe just for dissing vodka in favor of other beverages.

[The latest additions](https://nypost.com/2022/06/28/russia-slaps-sanctions-on-jill-biden-and-daughter-ashley/) include Jill Biden and daughter Ashley, who along with other luminaries like Morgan Freeman, Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell and Dianne Feinstein are now forbidden to travel to Russia and its terrortories. Even more devastatingly, Orrin Hatch and John McCain are on the Stop List, which means that if they are magically reincarnated they will not be able to spend luxury vacations in dachas on the Black Sea.

I’m just pissed off because I’m not on the list.

Why? Now you can take that ski trip to The Urals.

Only 1048? I am surprised that there are so few Americans whom Russia considers too disrespectful of Russian policies to be allowed to visit. Maybe they’re not monitoring our social media as carefully as we thought.

They should set up a website where people can voluntarily add themselves to it. Heck, considering they’re strapped for cash under the sanctions regime, they could charge a small fee for the privilege. “Five bucks, and you can tag yourself as an enemy of Russian imperialism!” The only down side is, given the strict quarantine of the Russian banking system, there’s no way for anyone outside Russia to actually _pay_ such a fee. I wonder if they’d take a pinky-swear IOU.
