    Iron Curtain is BACK!

    In other news.. Poland officials are denying these reports.. I'm seeing all kinds of noise from different sources but this one is from NPR. Daily Show last night also said this is happening..

    Race, culture and politics underpin how — or if — refugees are welcomed in Europe

    Racism is seen in discrimination at the border and journalists' comments
    There are also fresh incidents that have brought charges of racism.

    Students in Ukraine from Africa and South Asia have reported being treated poorly and encountering discrimination at the border as they tried to flee. "I've been through a lot in Polish border," Nigerian medical student Freedom Chidera told NPR's Eleanor Beardsley. "I mean, that's the worst experience in my life. I called my mother. I was crying."

    En route between the Ukrainian city of Lviv and Poland, security guards dragged "all the Black guys from the train," said Clement Akenboro, an economics student from Nigeria.

    International students are facing challenges as they try to evacuate Ukraine
    Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

    Not to get too too paranoid but it wouldn't be a terrible idea to have some cash on hand. If the Russkies do go all cyberwar, the financial system would be a main target.

    They're getting shunted to the back of the line because they are not Ukrainian women and children.
    You'd think a goddamn med student could help with an aid station or with pregnant women or fucking plastic surgery or whatever in a fucking refugee crisis. She calls mom and cries about how rudely she's been treated in a war zone. Shoulda bugged out before Midterms!

    So much irrational exuberance. Bullets are gonna be worth more than cash when those tactical nukes start raining on Alaska.

    Someone posted this earlier - I can't remember who - but this video has a thoughtful analysis on the geopolitical and strategic plan that Russia is likely taking. Will be interested to see the next video they publish, as this is a few days old now. (And ignore the click bait like images - it's legit).

    I agree the folks in Ukraine should have left sooner.. Valid point about the Syrian and Afghans being turned away though..

    Take this for what it's worth because it's based on my limited information re: this conflict and what is going on inside Russia bit I going to go out on a limb and say I just don't see how this is going to work out for Vlad.

    From all accounts he's isolated his people from the world and is making crazy pronouncements about Nazis in Ukraine. Russians may be many things but they are not North Koreans kowtowing to "Dear Leader." I believe them to be independent thinkers who I'm sure are both angry and freightened at this point. He is making them complicit in his insanity and ruining their standing in the world. How could this possibly end well for him?
