As sad as it is…

 …President Biden is correct to deport Russians seeking asylum. The Russian government is ruthless and even if given asylum, individuals would be threatened as would be their families to act against Americans. The best example is Maria Butina, a benign figure involved with political structures in the USA that elected Donald Trump.

Russia is currently making dual citizenship of Russian citizens nearly a criminal act. Russians are pressured to make choices to ensure their loyalty to Putin. Russians seeking asylum are risking their lives and the lives of their families.

Russians seeking asylum are never adequately protected. Never. There is a trust issue with asylum seeking Russians and it is not their fault. The problem is the Russian government and its long arm of hatred of free nations of people.

It is a very false sense of security for Russians seeking asylum away from Putin. It is best if they find other ways of being safe like refusing to commit genocide.

Russians within the borders of free people is a national security consideration, as if Trump wasn’t enough of one.

Nord Stream Pipeline Explosion

There is an article in “Wired” magazine that tries to nail down through open source data what exactly happened.

Let me propose a different way of looking at it that seems more realistic, at least to me. We have been looking at external explosions as a means of sabotage. I have very sincere doubts about that.

Undersea pipelines are tough stuff. The composition of the pipe requires Ni Steel, aerogel insulation, carbon steel casing and concrete weight coating. There is also the issue of seawater.

Let’s just think about the saltwater surrounding the pipeline. For every 100 feet down there is one atmosphere of pressure on that pipeline. It is also cold and dense water and very dark. 

If an explosive charge was carried out on the exterior of the pipeline the seawater would absorb some that energy. So, putting an explosive charge on top or under a very well constructed cylinder would be highly inefficient and could possibly fail.

If the pipeline was sabotaged it would probably be set inside the pipeline and not externally. Examining the remains of the pipeline might indicate the direction of the explosion in relation to the integrity of the material itself. The steel would show an explosion from the inside out or the outside in.

I don’t think there is enough information and guess work is highly irrelevant. No one can lay the blame on anyone through speculation. I think there must be far more forensics of the pipe to know where to look.

Two of the most stupid, brutal men in the world.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping (click here) arrived in Moscow on Monday for three days of talks, in the strongest show yet of support for Russia since its invasion of Ukraine. Beijing has billed the state visit as a peace mission, which comes as a welcome show of solidarity for an increasingly isolated Moscow. Xi and Russian President Vladimir Putin are styling themselves as the leaders of a new world order — and their alignment is based largely on shared opposition to U.S. power.

Officials around the world are eyeing the trip for signs it could provide Putin with a morale boost and a tacit endorsement of his brutal war. In an article published in a Russian newspaper ahead of the visit, Xi said Beijing has “always taken an objective and impartial position” on the year-old Ukraine conflict and made “efforts to promote reconciliation and peace negotiations.” Putin, meanwhile, said Russia is “open to a political and diplomatic resolution” to the war....

Communists are stuck in a two class system of inhumanity, the oppressors and the oppressed, and engage in fear in international relations regardless of it's idiocy.

Argentina is a passive, beautiful, lush part of the world where there is no conflict. Unless. The Argentine government is convinced the Falklands are a place to begin an invasion of the Free World.

The Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) are a remote South Atlantic archipelago. With rugged terrain and cliff-lined coasts, its hundreds of islands and islets are home to sheep farms and abundant birdlife. The capital, Stanley, sits on East Falkland, the largest island. The town's Falkland Islands Museum has themed galleries devoted to maritime exploration, natural history,

Quite frankly, I think the Brits have been good neighbors. They need to stop playing politics at home with it. Seriously. The Brits should consider giving it Belize status.

China may be close to clinching a huge weapons sale to Argentina (click here) involving fighter jets and armored vehicles, a deal that would give Beijing military clout in a region traditionally seen as America’s sphere of influence.

This week, South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that Argentina’s Ambassador to China Sabino Vaca Narvaja and Argentinian Defense Minister Jorge Taiana met in Buenos Aires recently to discuss defense cooperation plans with China, which includes the possible purchase of JF-17 fighter jets, 8×8 armored vehicles and military personnel exchanges.

SCMP mentions that the JF-17, which China co-produces with Pakistan, is a potential candidate to fill the Argentine Air Force’s longstanding fighter gap. The Chinese fighter is reportedly competing against India’s HAL Tejas, Russia’s MiG-35 and secondhand Danish F-16s....

This military armament ideology of the communists is exactly the example that is needed to prove how completely stupid they are.'

Argentina has no reason to arm itself like this. Neither does South Africa. The southern hemisphere is mostly ocean. It is a highly wild ocean water, too. The one true ally the USA has in the southern hemisphere is Australia. The history of Australia and China has been one of primarily peace, cooperation in international enforcement regarding the drug trade and economic benevolence. UNTIL. Recently.

Xi has escalated international tensions beyond repair. Now, countries enjoying a good quality of life and enormously satisfying benevolent governance have to increase their military prowess because the communists, post Trump, have decided now is their only opportunity for world domination.

There is no reason to dominate international air space with a communist takeover of Argentina and South Africa.  Antarctica is currently nothing more than a benevolent scientific study of Earth and its place in the universe. There is very important work taking place in Antarctica, but, that will end too as the world divides and enters into a forever war stance.

BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) is broken forever. China and Russia will be economically ostracized from the very democracies that nurtured their transition to capitalism in anticipation of a lasting peace and ever increasing quality of life of their people.

This is complete betrayal by Russia and China of the world order headed into peace and prosperity. There is no going back. Wall Street made their money and now they need a rude awakening to the reality China is not interested in wealthy men or international monetary policy. China likes controlling it's internal economy with two currencies. Their international currency won't be needed by the Free World anymore.

I don't know what is going to come out of the meeting of Putin and Xi, but, whatever makes the newspapers will be nothing but communist propaganda designed to harness the sympathies of democratically governed peoples. There won't be any worthwhile international resolve to Ukraine as China only seeks to increase global dependency on it's military machines. 

France's Macron is correct. It is necessary to increase the retirement age to 64. It is a huge paradigm change for France and it is painful, however, President Macron is not blind to the future of the Free World and what it sill take to shore up it's securities, especially national securities and international alliances.

Here is the reality that should exist. Xi should be facilitating Putin's arrest.
