Right yeah, other people have said the same thing. Feels a bit late compared to other conferences, but fair enough!

Yeah that’s the thing, I think the outcome would be that all Russians would then be fed propaganda all day long with no way to safely be exposed to anything else, and the travel ban would be used to reinforce the sentiment of us vs them

Wouldn’t that give Putin more ammunition though? More control over the Russian population? And accentuate the multipolar divide

Problem is, you never know how many people who signed up are actually going to show up, so food and drink quantities are always a guessing game

Mais tellement

My pleasure! Very nicely done
