Western media will never say it, but what exactly do you think Russia is doing in Africa? Think strategically.
The headline simply says Finland will close Russian border to stop asylum seekers. Most readers stop there, thinking Russians are trying to escape the horrible Putin. However, the reality is something entirely different.
…”Some 900 asylum seekers from nations including Kenya, Morocco, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria and Yemen have entered Finland from Russia in November, an increase from less than one per day previously, according to the Finnish Border Guard.”…
Finland joined NATO and suddenly Finland doesn’t want brown people. Apparently, diversity is no longer a strength.
HELSINKI, Nov 28 (Reuters) – Finland will close its entire border with Russia to travellers for the next two weeks in a bid to halt the unusually large flow of asylum seekers to the Nordic nation, which the government and its allies say is an orchestrated move by Moscow.
Finland last week shut all but one of its border posts to travellers from Russia, keeping open only the northernmost crossing located in the Arctic. But this too would now close, the government said on Tuesday.
Some 900 asylum seekers from nations including Kenya, Morocco, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria and Yemen have entered Finland from Russia in November, an increase from less than one per day previously, according to the Finnish Border Guard.
The decision to shut all eight border crossings means only cargo trains can pass between the two countries, Finland’s Border Guard said.
Helsinki says Moscow is funnelling people to the border in retaliation for its decision to increase defence cooperation with the United States, a charge the Kremlin denies. Finland infuriated Russia earlier this year when it joined NATO, ending decades of military non-alignment, due to the war in Ukraine. (read more)
In semi related news #1…. Another 1,000 illegal Muslim immigrants have just invaded Lampedusa [Italy] aboard two huge boats. This follows thousands of earlier arrivals that have created a significant problem.
…. So where do you think President of the Italian Republic Giorgia Meloni is?
Today, the President of the United States, Joseph R. Biden, and the President of the Council of Ministers of the Italian Republic, Giorgia Meloni, met at the White House. They reaffirmed the unshakable alliance, strategic partnership, and deep friendship between the United States and Italy. The ties between Italy and the United States are rooted in history, cultural affinity, and economic cooperation. They are founded on our shared values and principles – democracy, freedom, respect for human rights – reinforced by the shared objective to promote peace and security, enhance prosperity, and advance sustainability all around the globe.
[…] The leaders also discussed ways to explore mobilizing more headroom and concessional finance to boost the World Bank’s capacity to support countries addressing global challenges and provide strong support for the poorest countries. (read more)
If you get beyond the ridiculous leftist language, likely borne from an intern of Samantha Power, you realize President Meloni is desperate for something, anything, that will keep the African migrants from arriving en masse. However, as a weak-minded right-winger, she has been brought to heel and is now culturally aligned with the progressives in Davos.
I ask again, what do you think Russia (and China) are doing in Africa?
Vladimir Putin and Chairman Xi know exactly how to play the long game with the west.
[Fox News] – […] China imports cheap oil from countries facing U.S. sanctions, like Russia and Iran. Imports from Russia increased by nearly 23% in the first half of 2023 to more than 2 million barrels per day. China is Iran’s top customer, buying an estimated 1 million barrels per day in 2023.

“Western media will never say it, but what exactly do you think Russia is doing in Africa? Think strategically.”
What has the PRC been doing in Africa – inquiring minds would also like to know – way back when they had 10,000 troops helping El-Bashir to guard the oilfields in Sudan.
Furthermore, what has the PRC been doing in Finland and the Baltic?
The “Fin-Est” train – another great belt and road project brought to you by the bright bulbs of Beijing –
a high-speed train to take you from Tallinn, Estonia across the water to Helsinki, Finland – save so much time!
When asked by concerned citizens what about the ramifications of China – the PRC – being involved in the project – Mr. Festerbecka (the Angry Birds app guy who has been helping to promote the “Fin-Est”) – “what’s the worst they could do -shut it down?”
Yes, Mr. Festerbecka, they could shut it down.
To me, as an amateur observer of China – the PRC – it seems astonishing that other people are not alarmed in the least –
the PRC is quite touchy about anyone moseying around in the Taiwan Strait and in the South China Sea -anywhere around there –
and at the other end, they rolled over Tibet in 1950 and nobody stopped them –
there have been “Maoist rebels” causing problems for Nepal – a few years back, the royal family of Nepal was massacred for the most part – it seemed to be blamed on the Crown Prince – who was also dead, having shot himself in the back with a Glock pistol.
They have been trying to make incursions into India from the north.
My personal theory has been that the PRC has been planning a corridor down to the Persian Gulf, through Pakistan. Then with their forces positioned in Africa, swing into the old “pincer move” on the Arabian Peninsula. I am not a think tank person . . . but I hope SOMEONE is paying attention!
So the PRC is involved in this “Fin-Est” rail project – and how does that coincide with the Nordstream Pipeline, I have wondered, with excavation and construction works? Also, it’s about 250 miles from St. Petersburg.
The PRC is notoriously paranoid about anyone being anywhere close to THEIR sphere and yet they are up there building a railway and studying the place?
The New Silk Noose.
Suejeanne you are on to something. The PRC has been meddling in Myanmar (Burma) for years, with the goal of securing an alternate route from China to the Indian Ocean, just in case the US Navy decides to block PRC access to the Straits of Malacca. The PRC has an overseas deep-water “commercial port” aka naval base at Gwadar Pakistan, right on the Arabian Sea. They also put a military base in Djibouti, right at the entry to the Red Sea, and just a few miles from the US military base in the same country. They are building another naval and air base at Hambantota, Sri Lanka. China is positioning itself to encircle India, dominate the northern Indian Ocean, displace US influence from the region and establish Chinese control over all petro exports from the Persian Gulf and trade passing the Suez Canal.
They also control Panama canal and the shipping ports in Mexico where they also built the super highway into the USA for easy trucking.
China would probably just annex Burma if they thought they could get away with it.
Very insightful
That’s a very good comment, and I don’t wish to minimise it.
But…
Is it possible that the Nepal crown prince had information on Hillary Clinton.
Sorry, I just couldn’t help myself 🙈 Please forgive me!
The fulfilling of Biblical prophecy. “All nations will come against Israel.” I believe that is when our Dear Lord puts a stop to all this evil.
I like the clear use of the term “Finnish Border Guard.” It implies there is something to guard, usually something important. Sadly, I never hear the term “US Border Guard.”
no – ours just “Patrols”
and then rubber-stamps them for uncontested entry and wide disbursement all over the US
Ours is called the Finish Border Guard, ensuring our country is finished.
I have no respect left for the BP. They’re all pension whores. They could go on strike, and be very effective. They could uphold the existing law!
Disgusting.
It was not always thus.
In my father’s day the USBP was an elite, respected, and feared (by illegals) organization.
We’ve got US Border Collies on our southern border.
Their mandate changed from securing the border to, ’round ’em up, and put ’em on buses to the heartland’.
A good working breed, but just doing what they’re told.
Kind of like travel agents.
Band camp chaperones.
They are “agents”.
Not a lot of difference between BP, welcoming illegals with towels, blankets and bottles of water, followed by bus/plane tickets,…
and LEO, standing by during BLM or now “support for Palestine” mostly peaceful riots and arson…
Russia also seems to be enduring waves of immigration. I read that many Russians are complaining about migrants: Migrants don’t have traditional values, petty crime has increased, unrest in various parts of the very diverse culture of Russia.
It makes Russia much more suspicious of the motives and aims of the west when one reads an article in The Telegraph on November 25, by Ivana Stradner. “…it is time to give Putin a taste of his own medicine” and “since the West is accused of interference regardless, we might as well use the opportunity to destabilise the regime” by “playing into Russia’s nationalistic sentiments” and that “Russia’s ethnic diversity provides another opening.”
“It’s time for Washington to ensure that ethnic minorities inside Tatarstan or Dagestan let Moscow know how they truly feel about their place in this modern Russian empire.” comparing this strategy to the Arab Spring in 2010.
I am sure that the west is doing everything it can to interfere in Russia and cause unrest as they did in the 1990’s when Deputy Director of the CIA’s National Council on Intelligence, Graham E. Fuller, explicitly stated that their objective was to use Islamist extremists to “destabilize what remains of Russia power”.
The Pentagon and State Department are meeting this week to discuss what their policy toward Russia will be going forward. I’d love to be a fly on the wall in that meeting.
What are Russia and China doing in Africa? Of course, they are looking for markets for their goods and resources. China knows that if you provide African countries the infrastructure for trade and energy, the country’s standard of living will rise, bringing more consumers for Chinese products which increases China’s wealth. China and Russia are also offering an alternative to the dollar monopoly that has indebted so many African countries. Both are looking to buy resources, just like US multinational corporations.
The Chinese and Russians do not have 850 military bases around the world like the US does. They do not indiscriminately carpet bomb countries like we did in Iraq, Serbia, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, etc. or send in USAID and NED to stir up protests to overthrow regimes. They do not impose a “rules based order”, LBGTQ+ agendas, or any other social interference in other countries. Those African countries suspicious of US intentions are future allies of Russia and China.
“The Pentagon and State Department are meeting this week to discuss what their policy toward Russia will be going forward. I’d love to be a fly on the wall in that meeting.”
Idiots and morons meeting to decide the fate of the world.
What could go wrong.
The Generals calculating what best defense contractor to join after retirement and the State Dept war-mongers calculating what country would pay the most for a lobbyist in Washington DC.
I had exactly the same thought. Being a fly on the wall would probably give me terminal indigestion.
“Good morning professor. Would you like to play a game? How about Global Thermonuclear War?”
“No, lets play,….tic tac toe.”
Well said!
We look at the next place
to build a military base…
the next place to send USAID
and NED.
💁🤷♀️💁
I agree its heighth of hypocrisy to talk/write about China or Russia “attemptingvto expand their sphere of influence” as if thats such a bad thing, given the U.S. track record of globullust hegemony and adventurism.
For once I wish the CIA would destabilize itself.
The question is not What are China and Russia doing in Africa?
The question is what has the USA done in Africa?
The answer lies in why China and Russia has been invited into African countries. Who are sick of constant warfare.
…”Some 900 asylum seekers from nations including Kenya, Morocco, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria and Yemen have entered Finland from Russia in November, an increase from less than one per day previously, according to the Finnish Border Guard.”
Kenya 75, Morocco 67, Pakistan 80, Somalia 67 Syria 74 Yemen 62
Finland 101
Russia 96
Guess what the above numbers are.
Average IQ.
A word of caution: once you grasp that IQ is not distributed equally among the many races of humanity on God’s Earth, it can point you in the direction of thoughts that are, how shall we put it, not exactly acceptable in polite company. It is a serious red pill with more than a little black in it. If your world view isn’t ready for that, then stop thinking about it now.
There is only one race. God is no respecter of persons, nor does He unequally distribute IQ. Evil and stupid go clean to the bone in all cultures.
Keep telling yourself that when they COMMIEcrats load your skinny white ass in the Boxcars and sends you to the reeducation camps.
Low-IQ persons breed much bigger families. And they rarely improve.
The standard western IQ tests are irrelevant. They only measure logic, abstract problem solving and pattern recognition etc. The are useful in sorting people into western culture job requirements but they do not determine societal worth. The US military is probably the most proficient in their usage but their general importance is overemphasized in our culture. Humans are complex organisms and are extremely difficult to evaluate in the whole.
First sentence – WRONG.
Most of the rest is somewhat correct.
And IQ tests were not designed to establish ‘societal’ worth.
And got a little news to you about worth.
Most large companies used aptitude tests for employment in a variety of positions regardless of college education.
There was a court case over racism in the Carolinas back in the 60-70s that forced companies to use ‘educational’ qualifications.
After that, minorities and women slowly began replacing white males that had no formal education but had superior aptitude scores.
The efficiencies of many of those companies eroded over time.
FACT!!!
“IQ bees all raycissssssss an’ sheeeeeeeeit”
Exactly.
But anyone with media credentials that put that out for publication would be blackballed (no pun intended) before the ink on the paper was dry.
That was the whole set up from the beginning, self censorship by instilling the fear of being called a racist in everyone in the west beginning in the first year of school and continuing the indoctrination with the constant TV and cell phone based “lesson plan”.
Just like the reporter who reported on the COMMIEcrat Paul Palousi and his homosexual lover having a fight over the crank, with a hammer. He was show the door real quick.
Not just genetic but also decades, if not centuries, of poor nutrition (pre-and postnatal).
this fake rigged monopoly game doesnt require much IQ
Don’t forget incestual rape
That would make a lot of sense in some populations.
The frequency of cousin marriages in some cultures probably doesn’t help matters, though.
Like the Royal families of Europe?
I remember a sociology book on Western Civ saying that a nation needs an average IQ of 100 to create and MAINTAIN a western nation with 1st-world systems.
Decades of Affirmative Action and now DEI have and are so degrading the quality of employees in 1st-world position (like Air Traffic Controllers), that irs uncertain whether we can continue to keep up our systems.
Very scary.
It gets worse, our education system has been distorted to discourage and suppress the competent.
WHY IS THE WEST SO WEAK (AND RUSSIA SO STRONG)? THE ROLE OF HUMAN CAPITAL AND WESTERN EDUCATION
The quality of employees everywhere is degrading fast.
I have an employee, 31 yr old man, who is going to be on the overnight shift for the next 4 weeks. Shift starts at midnight. He could not figure out that “working Monday night -OVERNIGHT” meant the schedule would show the shift as TUESDAY. It literally took 20 minutes of intense explaining to get this GROWN MAN to understand… a clock.
Wont happen, dopey. Congress wants cheap labor, not more citizens.
we were a problem, they imported a solution and even’d the numbers.
there is no us blocking anything. they are in charge of the magic wand of rule making
Soooo true SoCalEdgyGal
No, what we are seeing now is so much more than what they neex to suppress wages,..besides haven’t you noticed the same ones that OPENLY advocate for open borders, ALSO push for higher minimum wage?
Don’t forget to count their babies in the 40 million illegal numbers over the past 25 years.
It’s also costing over $400bn annually! People lose their heads over student loan forgiveness and refuse to talk about the REAL elephant herd in the room. The missing hundreds of billions in DoD money, this expensive illegal import money and all of the rest. It’s really sickening.
$531 Billion to be exact.
Why doesn’t Putin offer residency in exchange for military service? I’m sure 95% of these migrants are men of military age.
These migrants have no loyalty to Russia. They have no intention of dying for Russia. Many, like the waves of immigration in the US, are coming out of poverty, poor educations, years of poor nutrition, little opportunity, and radicalized by those and by Islam. They come for what they can get or take for themselves, not to enrich Russian society.
They would make poor soldiers, in my opinion.
i dont get any of it.
so diversity warriors, cant see an issue with people being moved from their home and country…..
and the people that do it to the “migrators” are cheered as good people. (as in Our Oligarchs destroyed countries and get to be heros also)
🎯
What would you have to pay a poor migrant from a tropical country to a cold country like Russia. Somebody is financing all this migration of military age men.
Personal opinion is that the governments of the refugee-exporting countries are encouraging it. Poverty, crime, demographic increases, political unrest, conflicts can be relieved by sending the poor, angry, uneducated, criminal elements somewhere else.
PDJT said it for south america. emptying their prisons.
Mariel boatlift all over again. Empty the prisons, jails, mental institutions (if they are any). Dump all the misfits here.
“Somebody is financing all this migration”
That would be our Globalist stateless nobility.
108 Billion US Dollars for the Ukraine war could easily be diverted by our Quango’s.
The ones that have jobs in the US send much of their paycheck back to their homelands.
Ah….
That money is being sent to
pay the cartel that got them
into the country.
A lot of them are paying up
to 15k to get into the US.
Some pay half then send the
other half back to the Cartel.
So really we are just making
the Cartels more powerful.
And don’t forget…El Chapo
actually bragged about the US
politicians he had on his
payroll.💁
Another 10% the big guy is
probably getting…and the
others that push for open
borders they are probably
getting their cut too.
Yep. I stood in line at the bank yesterday behind a dude who could barely speak English hand over a WAD of cash to the teller to remit back “home”.
I find that funny, they still call whatever shithole they crawled out of to come here, home.
Loyalty to Russia has never been a requirement in the Russian military. That is why political-officers carry submachine guns and why shirking is punishable by death.
to clarify or add content…
they stand behind to shoot them if they run.
My understanding is that the Ukrainian Nazi commanders are doing this? Do you have any sort of reference for your assertion?
What a novel thought!
Then, for some, thought itself is novel.
Incorrect
Dumb!
Ridiculous assertion.
Could you give a link to this assertion please?
Uh, my understanding is officers in combat always carry side arms, and its not PRIMARILY for shooting the enemy, as combat is mostly with rifles.
The pistol is to deal with mutiny or Desertion, and thats pretty standard in all militaries, including the U.S.
Your understanding is nonsense.
You are living in the past. That was the Soviet Army that was disbanded in the early 1990s.
“They would make poor soldiers”
You are correct. They would and they do.
Sorry, still trying to imagine 100 people from sub saharan africa, where its freakin HOT, up in RUSSIA, where its freaking too cold, and note first they close “all but” the border crossing on the arctic circle, but then darn, they had to close that one, too.
What kind of enticements could possibly induce people from africa to migrate to Russia or Finland, I can’t imagine.
Parasites have no discernment for the host. Free shit is all that matters.

Kenya 75, Morocco 67, Pakistan 80, Somalia 67 Syria 74 Yemen 62
Finland 101
Russia 96
Guess what the above numbers are.
Well what ARE the numbers of?l
Seem to be average national IQ.
Couldn’t find a table with all those exact values, but most were pretty close.
I was shocked when I saw some of those numbers a few years back.
Russia has been offering fastrack to Citizenship to foreigners for about a year now if they join Russia’s Military
Russia even has 2 Battalions of Former Ukrainian POWs, now Russian Citizens, fighting for Russia.
I read an article a while back where the abandoned American trained Afghan special forces have joined Russia’s Army to fight for Russia and obtain citizenship.
https://www.rferl.org/a/putin-decree-simplified-naturalization-foreigners-army/32059786.html
Russia has a massive diaspora, some of whom move back to the motherland and a lot of people were in favour of maintaining a federal post-Bolshevik polity back in the early 1990’s.
They got screwed out of the latter, but the sentiment didn’t go away. So those people might be inclined to move to Russia.
Plus about a quarter of the population of Georgia and Armenia live in Russia, then there’s been massive influxes of “Ukrainians”.
It’s a tidying up exercise, more than anything. There’s been similar such proposals this a new variant, that’s also militarily useful.
our diversity should be shipping them in the picture, around the world. not the other way
‘Stab White People’ Murder in French Village Could be ‘Tipping Point’ for Society, Warns Government
… the rural community of Crépol where, over a week ago, a gang of “outsiders” raided the annual village dance and stabbed several people, killing sixteen-year-old Thomas.
It is reported witnesses heard the attackers say “We are here to stab white people”.
Nimrod, it’s just our white privilege being stabbed for being white—nothing to see here.
These globalist Marxists running the Western nations are setting off a powder keg. They don’t think they are because they only feel they are making us uncomfortable, and we won’t do anything. They believe there own hubris and think they outnumber us. They will find out the hard way.
Ireland, sad to say, IMO, will be the first to ignite. I have a friend whose family is still in Ireland. He said it’s about to blow and this latest push to claim Irish Lives Matter is a racist slogan is pushing more over the line.
So.. is the meat suit gonna reroute them to the Texas border …? Asking for my cousin … Just because we have around 2 million people with concealed firearms permits does not mean we can handle the 4 million non citizen invasion this administration is determined to foist on us.. We are not safe in our own homes ..
At that point there won’t be any need to conceal any type of weapon. When it comes to defending your family or property against any type of trash, won’t be at all concerned about concealing the AR12 or AR15
Recent headline more than 50% of U.S. Households have at least one gun owner,…and thats just those declaring, as da hood be FULL of guns!
Smart move Finland. It’s always better to keep the garbage out. These so called asylum seekers, are little more than grifters, expecting to be taken care of, all while, bad mouthing the country that took them in.
Since Finland closed the eight border crossings, I wonder what they will think when they start seeing illegals riding on top of the trains?
In Russia/Finland in December?
I recently read up on the Finns because…reasons. Their civil war just over 100 years ago was protracted and painful but they managed to stay clear of the Bolshevi in the long term. They fought like hell. I have a great deal of respect for them. I’m guessing the war in Ukraine spooked them but they were already negotiating business deals with the Trump White House before Russia invaded last year. So nato was likely their best move under the circumstances.
Neutrality was their best move, Russia couldn’t really give a damn about Finland and the former WarPac states.
The former Soviet republics are a concern, but Moscow plays-ball with people who’ll work with them.
After all why do you never hear about any drama between the Central Asian “stans” or Mongolia and Russia. Because they don’t go out of their way to be provocative d**ks to Moscow, whilst hiding behind the US in a cowardly fashion.
So if Russia floods Finland with whomever from wherever. They’re obliging the Finn’s to live up to the oft touted “European values”.
So it’s a favour really.
Observant move by Finland, taking note of their neighbors to the west. I have friends in Sweden who refer to the grifters that the government allowed in as “hooligans”. These cream of society are there to take advantage of every socialist welfare program the Swedish government has. And they take advantage of the laws too, but stretching them to extremes. Example; government doesn’t want to look bad by prosecuting so-called petty crimes, so enforcement is lax. Taking advantage of this, a gang of hooligans will mug you, taking all you posses, but each taking a dollar less than the petty crime amount threshold, so as to avoid prosecution. They have the “system” all figured out.
Once they come to a country, the useful idiots elect some to office, and in turn they lecture the ethnic population about how baaaaad they are!
Irish Socialist Councillor Lillian Seenoi-Barr Says Irishmen “Terrorists” are the Problem – NOT the Migrants Stabbing Children
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/11/irish-socialist-councillor-lillian-seenoi-barr-says-irishmen/
“Councillor Lillian Seenoi-Barr: I’ve been speaking to so many leaders since Friday. In fact, I haven’t had good sleep because we’ve just been discussing the same issues. People are very fearful. They are terrified of even thinking they will walk on the street. Not just in Dublin, across Ireland right now. They know that there’s a voice note circulating on social media calling for people to harm them, killing every immigrant in this country. It is very unsettling. Everyone is living on edge right now and we need to do something about it. We cannot continue ignoring that this is a small minority of far right. It is an organized terrorist group of people who want to harm immigrants in this country and we have to take action now! We can’t keep on calling them a small, dangerous group of people because it is an organized group of people who are radicalizing young people and encouraging them to go and harm others who are just living peacefully, who wants to live a peaceful life in this country.”
What kind of action?
The knife attack on the women and children isnt an isolated incident. These creatures can spew their venom while their joke media laps it up and regurgitates it to the masses….with some violin music in the background for added effect. But never will they question them, or investigate what these islamic “migrants” have been doing in and around Ireland.
Well, look at their Prime Minister- he’s no Irishman. And that is the problem. Same here in the U.S. Sorry, no foreign-born person should ever be permitted to be elected or serve in government as a migrant. Sorry. It’s what destroys nations.
Along with some of Ireland’s other politicians- look at their brown skin- they are not Irish. Sorry. Unlike America, Ireland is not a melting pot. The Irish are Celtic descendants- pale skin, auburn to red hair, and tempers. Not a brown people the Irish. Rather pale white people.
Ireland’s first mistake, like ours, was letting these migrants into their government.
NOBODY wants the brown parasites.
Actually, is Finland closing the borders as they are feeling overtaken by the “brown people”?
Maybe the members of the religion of Islam who are already in Finland are the ones complaining about “brown people” – they don’t “need” any more immigrants to Finland who are not under their control.
Go on Google and type in “Helsinki Finland” – go to maps – then look at all the mosques in and around Helsinki.
Maybe Finland was trying to offload some “brown people” into Russia and Russia said, “no thank you” . . . I don’t take what is reported as 100% of the facts!
Finland sees what has already happened next door in Sweden with “refugees” and wants no part of that mess.
Any word on how Meloni is responding to her turncoat status?
Isn’t this sort of the exact same thing that a certain previous president did by importing tens of thousands of very different cultural peoples from religion of peace countries to places that used to be much more European like Miniappolis and Lewiston and Dearborn, et al???
Isn’t that the exact same format the Commie Dems are doing by flooding America with untold numbers of mostly military aged men???
Just an observation.
I read in an article somewhere recently China’s Belt and Road program described as basically a gigantic loan sharking operation. That pretty much nails it. Get poor countries to welcome Chinese “investment” (development of local resources financed by China). But when the development loans come due … OOPS! … they can’t pay the loan OR the vig, and … OOPS! … China will own it all. THAT is what China is doing in Africa. Russia? Probably just the thug leg breakers.
Bingo!
That is exactly what Belt & Road is.
It also focuses on the most strategic infrastructure, like ports and airfields.
O.k. very good that you have 1/2 of the story, pretty accurate.
However, the U.S., thru the World Bank and IMF has been like the Credit card companies, loaning the poor 3rd World Countrues $, and then setting terms that required such high taxes there could be no effective investment,…effectively locking them into a permanent poverty and 3rd World Status.
Big difference between China/Russia and the US. China and Russia are actually building things like Ports, Airports, Railways and highways.
Rather than just stealing money, impoverishing people, and starting wars.

The US version of the same grift.
“what do you think Russia (and China) are doing in Africa?”
Inside Africa, Russia and China are most likely exploiting those countries’ natural resources back to the home countries for increased wealth and manufacturing.
The MIGRANTS from Africa are most likely arriving in but being rejected by both Russia and China and given safe passage through either superpower’s territory and into neighboring nations – wherever they can “slip in.”
Both Russia and China have clearly demonstrated that neither nation will tolerate Muslim immigrants who do not bring marketable job skills with them, the ability to live independently of government handouts, and who will coexist peacefully with the existing population regardless of religions.
How much you wanna bet that although there are migrants in Russia, they aren’t getting the free ride like in the West, are not welcome and the authorities don’t put up with no shit.
Send them to another country and weaken them.
Smart, long term strategic plan.
I’ll never get that either.
companies want cheap labor so they get the gov to let them in, YET SOMEHOW they pass the housing, welfare, and medical onto us as our Bill….
What kind of rigged shit is that.
At the same time, we are being murdered economically to where we are just slowing our non-survival. Money for them, no money for us, its our bill.
unreal
Yeah, and what the multinationals don’t realize that even though they are paying out less short term, what they lose in customer dissatisfaction, inefficiencies and other costs long term, hurt the bottom line and potential growth down the line.
Opportunity costs.
Finance / accounting types not looking at sometimes spending more now is an investment that pays dividends down the road vs temporary boost in earnings due to lowered ‘expenses.’
To them, all outlays are expenses, instead of some of those outlays being investments.
Going thru it now with a company that bought us out.
I no longer believe the open borders invasion is about votes or low wage workers, its way beyond that.
I have for some time questioned the narrative that this Globullism is a new form of fascism, a kind of public/private partnership,..I suspect its more like a neo-marxism, and the corporate multinationals will ultimately get screwed as those in gummint are power cravers that will not share.
Follow your hunch and you will find the reason.
And you are correct that the labor replacement thing is the real reason. It is a cover.
The first person Italy should deport is Ursula Von Leyen. If she is there only bad things will follow. This is the beginning of the end for the EU, it’s only a matter of time or civil wars will erupt all over Europe over this issue.
The picture of Xi makes me think he thinks his drink may be poisoned.
Russsia is doing to Finland exactly what the COMMIEcrats have been doing to the United States for decades. Instead of using MESSYicans, like the COMMIEcrats do. Russia is using Africans. White countries had better toughen up and smarten up. Before it’s too late.
Our own Governments(western civilization) are doing it to us, not foreign countries.
The three branches of government have the power to end the invasion within hours.
They choose not to…
The onus should be on the our own Government to protect our borders, not on our neighbors.
“Just who does he think he is?” Remember the soccer ball!
Hooray for Finland. The country has seen the light finally of “ooo let those poor people in” -NOT anymore!
I think the Russians are doing it to stimulate their ‘defensive sociological immune system’. When their own trash-clown elites import raping murdering diversity, there is not a peep in protest from those same elites. When the Russians push over a tiny fraction now all of a sudden it is a problem. The Russians are trying to normalize resistance to migration within Europe.
Why would they do this? The Russians want (1) an end to demonizing hostility towards Russia from the West (the hostility is NOT historical) which means an end to Global American Empire influence and (2) for European nations to continue to exist so that Russia can return to normal cultural and commercial relations. Here is some context:
Putin, speech before Duma (the Russian legislature)
“In Russia live Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, then we advise them to go to those places where that’s the state law. Russia does not need minorities. Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell ‘discrimination’. We better learn from the suicides of America, England, Holland and France, if we are to survive as a nation.
The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of most minorities. When this honourable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the national interest first, observing that the minorities are not Russians.”
… well-deserved standing ovation follows …
Exactly!
What I have noticed is that
it is…
Russian Tartar
Russian Udmurt
Russian….
There are 193 different ethnicities
in Russia. And 277 different languages.
In US it is….
Black American
Mexican American
….American.
America second 😖😵💫😡
In Russia it is….Russia First.
Here it is what your color
is or where you are..or your
family comes from. 😡😡
What languages and dialects we speak in Russia’s republics? – YouTube

She explains it really well.
She is red headed Tatar.
I did not hear Putin say that minorities cannot speak their own language, teach their own history, practice their own culture or practice their own religion. You can do those things and be a great Russian.
Those whom want to speak their own language, teach their own history, practice their own culture and religion, should stay in their OWN country.
When you think about it is actually quite ABSURD. Does anyone think the Chinese elites are saying to themselves that the problem with China is that there are too many Chinese? And that they need to start importing Japanese, Thai, Philippine, Indian & African people?
What the West will end up like is a larger version of the polyglot Austrian-Hungarian Empire before it collapsed. In addition to all the other issues it becomes impossible to conduct any kind of foreign policy. We can’t support Israeli because of all of the Muslim voters and we can’t support Palestine because of all the Jewish voters, etc.
ABSURD, ABSURD, ABSURD !!!
Besides strategic positions (great comment, SueJeanne), natural resources come to mind. Africa itself has oil—as well as cobalt and other minerals necessary to large battery production. And, on top of that, I heard today that we may be reaching the limits of what silicon semiconductors are capable of. Apparently the next substrate people are looking at is diamond. Maybe it would make more sense to just grow the crystals. However, Africa does have huge diamond deposits and mines (Botswana alone has two of the world’s largest mines). Of course, Russia also has huge deposits and mines, so this might be of more interest to China.
Anyhow, there’s that.
Well…..
when I started reading articles
and hearing about Finland closing
borders because of immigration…
I just grinned and chuckled.
Strange it happened right around
the same timeframe
that Putin and Orban were both
attending a conference.💁🤷♀️
Would not be surprised if
the immigrants were meant
for Hungary to stir up trouble
between Hungary and NATO/EU.
Just to be an headache for Orban.
Instead they were funneled —redirected-
to Finland instead of Hungary
With a little help of course 🤣
We will probably find out one
of these days💁🤷♀️ but right now
my gut says it was a boomerang 🪃
on Finland/EU and NATO.
Islamization is topic of the day in europe and multiple countries are now taking steps to stop it.
Totally honest here, what’s Russia doing? Are the responsible for the sending of migrants from Africa? That’s a brilliant plan if so. I get the “trillions at stake” part, I just can’t see the dot connecting.
Wow Sundance.
Nice analysis and very to the point. Then of course we consider the alliance firmly against the current western rules based order regime of this empire of lies; Russia, China, Iran, North Korea….
The entire geopolitical reality of human history went into full blown psycho panic mode when they failed to stop us from putting Trump into the whitehouse.
It’s been a war ever since.
And they/it is losing….
But the war is still far from over
How is meloni aligned with the progressives in davo? I don’t understand
Centuries ago, plague-infected horse carcasses would be fired over the enemy’s walls as a means of infecting and weakening enemy forces before the really violent part of the siege began. Nowadays, our enemies are doing the same thing with endless millions of archaic hominins from Africa and Arabia.
All the people clasping their hands and cooing at the idea of helping these animals are misguided to the point of being suicidal. This is why not everybody should be allowed to vote. This is why the founding fathers limited voting rights only to people descended from the original colonists and who held a physical stake in this corporation we call a nation.
These “migrants” mostly come from Muslim nations. From time immemorial Muslims have sent adherants to infiltrate and, when the numbers are sufficient, overcome non-muslim nations. History repeats itself. Finland? They are not coming for the climate.
“diversity is no longer a strength.” It never has been. Diversity always weakens an organization by unqualified being put in positions that they are not trained or qualified to be in.
The weaponization of migrants is spreading.
“I ask again, what do you think Russia (and China) are doing in Africa?”
There was a Chinese troll on Breitbart, and I asked it that very question, what was China’s goal in Africa. It said China’s intent is to make Africa its breadbasket.
Smart move; that is, if they can get the Africans to stop fighting long enough to make it happen. Obviously, that would eventually mean the whole African Continent would become a BRICS partner. If Africa becomes China’s breadbasket, that would also mean Africa becomes a national security issue for China.
Shortly after, I started watching Chinese movies surrounding Africa. The movies always showed China as the big brother protector, protecting them from those bad Western countries.
Africa always wins. China’s turn to learn.
Africa wins because “leftism” scares good people away. China’s leftism is DOMINANT and will not allow a challenging leftism to disrupt what they do. Do you think China would recoil if there were claims of racism, apartheid or even genocide were made against them? NOPE! They would simply STEAM ROLL OVER THEM ALL.
The weakness of those on the right will always be as it is because they are generally good people.
C’est L’Afrique
While is sounds like Russia and China are somehow sending people from all of these places into western countries, that doesn’t explain the policies and the facilitation of these people to come to the west.
I don’t think China and Russia are “behind” this in the sense that they are purely responsible for the arrival. I have strong indications that it is all western countries (and the EU) governments actively advertising their welcoming them.
Now if they are simply adding fuel to the fire? Well that’s something that makes me feel less than neutral about Putin/Russia and Xi/China.
I see most of the harm being done to the west as intentionally self-inflicted… maybe not the best words… how about intentionally inflicted upon the people of the west but their governments.
That dastardly Putin, trying to strengthen Finland with diversity! Doesn’t he know if he floods his neighbor with brown people soon Finland will become a superpower?!!!
Only 900 and they close the border! Biden lets 900 in every 5 minutes.
