Hang on a minute...refugees from Russia?
Where's the war in Russia?
So they'd be 'economic refugees/immigrants' looking for a better life?
Pouring into Alaska/US...nice, and just where will they be living, working, getting treatment in hospitals etc?

Usually a strong ethic there - but some are in gangs I am sure.

Yes, Russian mafia is a good bet.
No ID or background checks needed..."come one, come all, welcome to your new and better life".
You have no clue how the system works or what our policy actually is.

Or care.

But unlike Luee or Ward, sometimes he can admit he made a mistake.

Oh I care...because what they get away with in America usually ends up on my doorstep being govt policy.
At the very thought of the Left being the new federal govt in bambuworld the people-smuggling boats in Indonesia are reportedly being readied for travel.

Ever think the left might stop the exploitation of Indonesia by oil cartels?

If my house is not fucked up why would I want to leave my house?

It's not Indonesians leaving on the people-smuggling boats as passengers, it was mostly 'asylum-seekers'/'refugees'/'economic immigrants' [call them what you like] from the Middle East, and Pakistanis posing as Afghans. [We might be 'dumb, drink, racist, and backward', but we have a dingo-cunning system for weeding out fakes and liars]

Part of OSB is Regional Deterrence Framework...which includes;

. Communications campaigns to raise awareness within local villages that people smuggling is a criminal activity;
. A capped boat buy-back scheme that was to provide an incentive for owners of decrepit and dangerously unsafe boats to sell their boats to government officials rather than people smugglers;
. Support for wardens in local communities, whose role was to be to provide intelligence information to the Indonesian National Police on people smuggling operations;
. The option in exceptional circumstances for bounty payments for the provision of information resulting in significant disruptions or arrests leading to convictions.

That'll teach me not to do more than one thing at a time ...and to proof read posts.  :)

A retired US general was on my tv last night basically slamming NATO leaders for not giving Ukraine all the weapons it's requested.
He said that doing so, giving Ukraine all it wanted was the perfect chance to defeat Russia's military to make sure it never attacked anyone else for decades.
He seemed to take a particular swipe at Germany.

Sleepy Jo says no to planes. Might make Vlad angry to be carpet bombed to Moscow. Just rusted out junk from the 80's. What is he waiting for?

Vatican News

1 hour

In an interview with Argentinian daily newspaper 'La Nacion,' Pope Francis says even if he is not planning to go to Kyiv or meet Patriarch Kirill in the near future, "there are always" ongoing efforts to arrive at peace in Ukraine. "The Vatican never rests," the Pope insists, noting, "I cannot tell you the details because they would cease to be diplomatic efforts. But the attempts will never stop."

Solomon Islands...nowhere near America, but;

Solomons' Opposition leader seemed to say on my tv last night that govt officials have or will be having luxury homes built behind security walls, and their children educated at top universities in China.

US State Department spokesman Ned Price on Tuesday said that assurances from Solomons Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare that there would be no Chinese naval bases had not convinced the US that the deal was ...
...in the region's best interest.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Way too close to Australia's NE coast for the liking of bambuworld.
Like Ukraine, Australia was encouraged not to arm itself greatly, but to sign nuclear non-proliferation treaties instead.
Now look what's happening to "sitting duck" Ukraine, invasion and total destruction.
..and what could be happening to "sitting duck" Australia as China circles.

Once China owns the NSEW Pacific, Asia, Africa, etc, [and its best buddy Russia owns Europe], eventually China will own the USA.
No invasion of the USA will be needed, the way things are going China will own all the land, infrastructure, farms, companies in America, plus own its economy.

We should be carpet bombing St. Petersburg with fifth columnists like Kid.

It would be a wet messy human refuse drop that would send Putin just the right message.

Vladimir Kara-Murza sends a letter from his jail cell in Moscow.  He is more certain than ever that Russia will be a free country.

Russians deploy 110 year old recovery vessel to site of the Moskva.

I do wonder if they are sending this so there is less of a loss should it get sunk, too.
