Thread: The Ukraine Situation

I'm surprised how many British people civilians and ex-military are going there to fight alongside the Ukrainians.

I agree completely, bear in mind that this isn't the first time, or the first time he has made Nuclear threats. Rember Crimea or Afganistan. My personal opinion is that just as i said that we can fight Russia now or we can fight them later, Putin may feel the same and invade a Nato country to force our hand.

In a new twist to the Ukraine war, the miscreants of the Canadian truckers so called Freedom Convoy are being feed another line of BS on social media. Seems the fools are being retooled for another cause.

If I never see another truckers so called "Freedom Convoy" it won't be soon enough.

2 million refugees, that is more than the population of Idaho, about the same as what came across the southern border illegally last year in the US..

It is an unimaginable burden on the surrounding countries, especially when 1/2 are children...

Makes ya think

NYC the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges were closed to traffic because of a protest for "excluded workers fund" to the tune of 3 billion dollars. Strange though they didn't come down on them like they did to the truckers. Oh and I almost forgot they want $500 MILLION for free healthcare. I'm going to central America and DEMAND more rights and government assistance than they give their own citizen. And if they don't give it to me then I will say they discriminating against gringos. One other thing. If an American wanted to retire to these countries he/she would have to have $1500 a month in income outside of the country. Talk about fairness. Lol.

I take your point but I have to ask, how many weeks are the protesters camping out blocking the city and bridges with their engines running and their horns blowing? If their doing those things and still the city is not coming down on them, NYC must be a lovely place, much more tolerant than famously tolerant Canada.

On a final note, it does seem unfair that you can't retire to Central/South America without a fairly large monthly income, do a search and see how much I would have to bring in if I as a retiree wanted to move to the US.

There is no retiree or silver green card in the US so if a retiree without an employer, family in the US or has refugee status wants to live full time in America they would need an EB-5 Investor Visa just the same as as anyone else. I know of a an Englishman here that lives in the States. It would be interesting to hear his experience.

Just my humble opinion of course, no disrespect intended.

The disruption is our countries resources being given away while our disabled veterans are sleeping under bridges. How much money does it cost to feed cloth and house and then add the cost of border patrol and court time etc. Jails etc. It's much more than you think. Billions and billions of dollars year after year.

Yea and when the American retires to some country in S or Central America he has to worry about unstable Govts, crummy healthcare, crime and a host of other problems. Living is a paradise in your compound you are afraid to leave.

Last I heard no Central American Country has an Illegal problem. The only country with an illegal problem like us is Mexico with folks mainly from Guatemala.

Also the excluded workers protest lasted a few hours on the bridges and was maybe 300 people.

Millions of people live in Manhattan. Only a few hours? Lol. Only 300 extortionists trying to shake down the taxpayer. 30 years ago it was young men looking for work. Now it's middle age women with 4 children. Some of which are not even theirs. I need a passport to get into another country. And they know who I am. Cradle to grave here as you know. There is no reliable way to know who is coming and for what reason. Actually they are coming for free stuff. Otherwise they wouldn't come. Theres a severe labor shortage in certain occupations. They aren't coming for work. Otherwise there would be no shortage.

Yes, my point exactly. How does Putin so far locking up roughly 13,000 protesters for marching who were not camped out in Red Square for going on a month compare with how Trudeau treated the truckers in Canada. Great Russian disinformation in support of Putin and his war in Ukraine. Had the truckers protested for a day and then left having made their point nothing would have happened to them unlike in Putin's Russia.
