I disagree - this can certainly be the forum for it, and it is a perfectly valid aspect of discussing travel. And yes, it is a perfectly valid position for, let's say, a Vietnamese person to not want to take a vacation in the US, or a Greek Cypriot to avoid going for a vacation in Turkey. Just because YOU are not bothered, doesn't mean it's wrong for other people to be.

Furthermore, I think there's an argument to be made that there are big differences a) in visiting a *potentially* hostile country - let's say a Taiwanese person going to Shanghai - versus a country that is *actively* throwing ballistic missiles at civilian populations in its neighbor and kidnapping children; and b) in visiting a country that has *internal* tensions between the government and (some part of) the population, where you can reasonably say that your cash is supporting the local population to a greater extent than your visa fee is supporting the government, versus a country that is *invading and trying to conquer another sovereign country* - and not even with the fig-leaf of regime change followed by a withdrawal (as with the US/UK-led coalition in Iraq and Afghanistan), but actually occupying the other country and wiping it off the face of the map.

If the OP has these concerns in their travel plans, who are you to tell them they are wrong?
