Why Didn't I Visit Ukraine + What Happened In Belarus?
Added 2024-10-16 04:38:56 +0000 UTCThere's a big reason why I skipped these two on my way to Russia.

2024-11-18 13:46:36 +0000 UTCI'm glad you made it out of Russian detention. It could have been a lot worse. Stay safe!

2024-11-14 20:39:32 +0000 UTCSomething that stuck with me about Switzerland and their culture, impartiality. They believe that the media and most of all people in general, should not try to influence how others feel. You are entitled to do your own research about any topic and form your own thoughts about it. I think you should try to incorporate this int your life, John.

2024-10-17 05:38:00 +0000 UTCYour safety is the most important thing, I’m happy you seem to have your head screwed on straight and are looking out for #1. Russia is a place I’d love to visit, hopefully the geopolitical situation will allow it someday.

2024-10-16 20:19:34 +0000 UTCJohn - I’ve traveled to Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia - each a handful of times - all prior to the current horrendous war. I can proudly say “Slava Ukraini” and still support Tommy’s current travels because I agree with his philosophy of differentiating a countries people vs a countries government (and this is not just about these three places). I deeply worry about my friends in Kyiv; but I still want to see an IMPARTIAL video from the streets of Moscow. (Ditto from Israel and other places.) Tommy is the sane/calm/neutral voice here; far more so than some media outlets or other YT sources. I’ll continue to support him; as long as he continues to travel and show us all normal life and normal people vs government dictated content. John - I understand your passion - Tommy isn’t your enemy (and his spend is peanuts in the big scheme of things). I’ll repeat: Slava Ukraini! My mum was born in Eastern Czechoslovakia, which is now a beautiful part of Southern Ukraine that after visiting, I care for deeply.

2024-10-16 19:01:44 +0000 UTCIt's crazy that in the area you were in, you couldn't even really tell that there's a war going on. Russia looks beautiful. I would love to go there someday. Hopefully the conflict will end soon.

2024-10-16 18:35:59 +0000 UTCSanctions should mean something brother. Then a Russian vid illustrating norm goin' on and the ambivalence to deaths,kidnapping and millions displaced is honestly a dumb move. As a New Jersey Ukrainian I'm disappointed in you, keeping it real. I'm sure Russians love your travel experience... Ukrainians who live in fear daily, probably not...Slava Ukraini

2024-10-16 17:56:44 +0000 UTCFigured this was the reason, that only makes sense. I was worried that you'd get conscripted into the military or serve as an entertainment monkey for any nation that might find you hostile. Take care of yourself, Tommy, be safe.

2024-10-16 11:39:19 +0000 UTCAs ValueTraveler says, it is only "controversial" to those who go along with the narrative. Your Vlog shows us that the Russian people are just getting on with life. The lack of animosity they seem to have shown you and the fact that you can still travel there speaks volumes. Thanks Tommy ...keep doing what you do..ignore the haters
Michael Peacock
2024-10-16 10:48:03 +0000 UTCit is only "controversial" to those who go along with the narrative! ! I went to Russia 2 years ago and was interviewed at the border twice (going in and leaving) and specifically asked about any connections to Ukraine (None) so I understand you completely. There is also the Bald and Bankrupt case whose videos caught up with him. At the same time, no-one on the ground bothered me in relation to the war. I did think what happens if I want to go to Ukraine now (I don't) with a Russian visa. You seem to suggest it's more of a problem the other way round but I am not so sure. Keep on trucking!

2024-10-16 08:38:24 +0000 UTCAlso as geopolitical tensions mount Iran and Saudi Arabia/Israel might be next to go up in flames. Although i don't think I've ever seen anyone attempt Iran yet! An American passport is probably a big no no in Iran though

2024-10-16 07:11:03 +0000 UTCBetter to play it smart than end up in the gulag or worse. Definitely a high risk visit, and i could tell how nervous you were before you entered the country. Definitely controversial but when you walk into Russia wearing a bullseye 🎯 on your shirt, we can at least commend you for your bravery! Fun to watch. 🪆
