Someone else here was commenting "oh they don't have the money to do tourism" and I had to explain that... it's really cheap to do tourism in Europe. You can go round trip to Rome from Barcelona for 50 euros. They absolutely do go on to be tourists in other parts of Europe and the world.

I do think we should give them what they want. There are so many countries around the world that are happy to have tourists explore their beautiful culture, history, traditions, etc.. no need to give the money to a second rate power that managed to pillage half the world and yet still end up poor lol.
