Lithuanian farmers complain about Russian, not Ukrainian grain

#Lithuanian #farmers said that it is the influx of Russian grain, not Ukrainian crops, that presents a problem for the EU markets, the Lithuanian National Radio (LRT) reported on March 5.

Their colleagues from Poland launched protests against Ukrainian agricultural imports and the EU's Green Deal earlier in February, blocking six border crossings with Ukraine.

What’s the #PhiladelphiCorridor #border zone that #Israel wants to control?

Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu told a weekly news conference on Saturday that the Philadelphi Corridor “must be in our hands” and shut down to ensure the #security outcome #TelAviv desires.

...

Both #Egypt and #Hamas have been against Israel regaining control of the corridor, and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has repeatedly said sCairo won’t allow Palestinians to be displaced from their homeland into Egypt.

The Mexican side of the border crisis - UnHerd

#politics #USA #border #crisis

Looking down on Shelby Park, you can see what a small section of border it represents. Whatever Abbott has achieved here is no gamechanger. Tackett says that seeing the border for himself shows how much both sides distort the issue for their bases. “It’s very clearly a dog and pony show to drive donations,” he says. “There is a corrupted incentive structure from the conservative side of the house not to fix the problem either… The migrants themselves are the currency.”

Having spent two decades covering America’s southern border with Mexico, it’s hard to disagree with him. Forces deep within their political and economic systems lack the will or ability to solve an overwhelming problem, yet know fully well how it can be deployed to make hay on the airwaves. The result isn’t just a setting for hope and tragedy — but a stage for political theatre.

#Age is not the issue with #Biden. He has a lifelong stutter and I and most of you will confuse words easily and look like a dumbass when off script. Also #Trump lies all the time so he can just gaslight people into believing that's what he meant or they heard it wrong. He lies all the time so no one holds him to the same standards of being correct like they do Bide. My two issues are #Gaza and the #border issue but I can kind of rationalize much of that for the inaction of the GOP to actually pass anything to fix our backed up immigration court and fund asylum seekers with better housing. He is our only hope to survive #climate crisis. #fascism or #civilwar would be game over for the planet. #Age

You Know What They Are

Unfortunately, the vast majority of Americans don’t, and will not believe it until the fireworks start. Even then, they will struggle to believe that war has actually come to the #UnitedStates, a #war that isn’t going to be a #civil war in any sense of the term:

1stResponderMedia posted a video on #X showing an interview with a group of #migrants who illegally crossed the #border 12 miles east of Sasabe, #Arizona, over the weekend. At least one of the migrants in the small group identified himself as an #African migrant from #Morocco.

A second male migrant traveling in the same group responded to a question about his country of origin with an ominous message.

“If you are smart enough, you will know who I am,” the migrant began. “But you are really not smart enough to know who I am. But soon you’re gonna know who I am.”

The migrant then walked away.

These young male migrants are neither #refugees nor conventional #immigrants. They are being brought into the United States to serve as a #PraetorianGuard for the #foreign #elite that is terrified of the reaction of the #US #citizenry to the inevitable #collapse of the #empire that the people never even wanted in the first place.

We wondered what the reaction to the failure of the jump to China would be, and now we know.

The picture below doesn’t show any poor huddled masses yearning to breathe free. It’s a well-funded #army of #mercenaries that only lacks #weapons and #orders to take action. And it’s already present across most of the United States.

Trump Sounds The Alarm On Budget Deal That Would 'Give' Biden Authority to Shut Down the Border
The day after President Joe Biden made overtures to the Congress to be given authority to purportedly address the border crisis — authority that he already has as the nation’s chief executive — as part of a compromise budget deal, former President Donald Trump blasted Biden for his duplicitous argument.

Half of #US #Governors 'Stand With #Texas' in Defying Supreme Court at #Border
OLIVIA ROSANE
Jan 25, 2024

..."Abbott first posted on social media on Tuesday that the Texas National Guard would "continue to hold the line" at Eagle Pass. Then, in a statement released Wednesday, Abbott claimed that the Biden administration had "broken the compact" between the states and federal government by, in Abbott's view, failing to enforce immigration laws. He has won the support of at least 25 governors for declaring immigration an "invasion" and invoking "Texas' constitutional authority to defend and protect itself."

In a column published in The Philadelphia Inquirer on Thursday, Will Bunch observed that some online commenters had likened the potential standoff at Eagle Pass to the one at Fort Sumter, North Carolina, that triggered the Civil War. However, he thought another historical comparison had merit.

"Abbott's reckless, cruelty-is-the-point policies and his defiant stand are also posing the greatest threat to federal authority since the South's 'massive resistance' in the 1950s and '60s to the Supreme Court's landmark Brown v. Board of Ed ruling that mandated school integration," Bunch wrote.
...
Democratic Texas Congressmen Greg Casar and Joaquin Castro have called for Biden to take federal control of the Texas National Guard.

"We can create an immigration system that is safe, orderly, and humane," Casar posted on social media. "It's Democrats' job to push back on razor wire, inhumane cages, and broken policies of the past."...

Egyptian officials have officially denied the fact that they are 100% in control of the Rafah Border Crossing, stating that Israel controls the Palestinian side as by the 2005 AWA agreement.

Oh hey, who could have thought that Israel lied to the ICJ? It can't be true 😂😂
