    Default Russian nationals flee military service, request asylum in Alaska

    What do ya know. Some honest to God, legit asylum seekers. That's different. They're going to mess up Biden's redefinition of "asylum"

    I was in Gambell a couple years ago, tuning the satellite feed to the village. There's nothing there - just your usual battered houses and a small co-op store.

    I can't imagine the confusion when those Russians landed at the airport!

    CNN MSNBC:
    "OBVIOUSLY a ploy by PUTIN (& the RNC) to sway the U.S. elections!
    And infiltrate the country to sow chaos and overthrow our "Democracy"!
    & Russian spies!
    The boarder must be closed.


    FOX:
    Well Burt, I'm thinking that the Gov of Alaska should send them to Martha's Vineyard.
    That's right Ernie, And to some of those "sanctuary cities" like Chicago.

    There's actually a large Russian community here in AK, from when we bought it from them. They're Orthodox and pretty hardcore about it, but I'm sure they'll help out with these two.

    At least this is a legit asylum. I have no problem with it.

    Kinda like Canada was a sanctuary for Americans during Vietnam War.

    Americans who dodged and went to Canada were not treated well there from what I've heard

    Anyone not wanting to be part of that third-rate, alleged military, meat grinder is showing a lick of common sense, IMO.

    Good thing most of Western Russia is uninhabited or you'd be welcoming boat people
