2 Russian conscripts Flee Russia, surrender to Alaska State Police, US coast guard and Department of homeland security.
The men told villagers they had sailed their boat from the city of Egvekinot in Northeastern Russia, approximately 300 miles by sea. Other villagers said the men told them they were fleeing the Russian military.
>300 miles by sea
>in the Bering strait

just how bad is serving in Russia's military?

brain drain is real
Russians have been practicing reverse eugenics since 1900. The intelligent fled. The brave were sent to die. The outspoken were silenced. The capable were killed as a threat. The only survivors were the dumb, obedient and meek.
90% this, 10% just ol putin being a stupid chimp thinking anyone would really listen to him like how he was forced to way back when he was in the kgb
fricking based, should get a green card for having the spirit
I agree and not to start shit but, Venezuelans are walking 3000 miles to Texas. Think it's weird we don't admire that same spirit?
The frick are you talking about moron they practically get handed citizenship.
No they don't
the illegal part of illegal immigrant should have tipped you off
They get on buses that someone pays for to deliver them here
~~*someone*~~
>walking 3,000 miles
That's a little far fetched, don't you think? Bus, boat, and train rides are the typical methods.
Yeah but then they don't surrender to DHS
...Shut the frick up.
Lol he makes a good point and you don't have a comeback?
He didn’t, he told a lie.
Venezuelans are shitskins
Venezuelans are 50-50 on if they apply for asylum or just decide to go full illegal migrant. Not to mention most of them are full blown Commies or far-left socialists.
All of the Venezuelans I've ever met really seem to hate communism and socialism. There might be some that you encountered that drank the state sponsored kool-aid, but I'm starting to see them like Cubans in terms of ethnic political trends. Not saying to let them in, but if you gave me the choice between a rat eating, socialism hating Venezuelan, and a Haitian groid coming for gibs and rape, I think the choice is obvious.
I've met about 20 in total and all but one were commies and far left socialist types.
Some, yeah. Most that get here and see all we have end up dropping that shit.
Are you implying Russians aren't commies?
If they liked communism and socialism so much, they wouldn't have left.
Explain the California exodus then.
Those venezuelans don't qualify for asylum, avoid law enforcement, and commit crimes
Ummmmm sorry sweaty, Venezuelans are precious brown pipo
I'm more impressed by the Cuban refugees that made landfall in Florida during the hurricane.
Venezuelans in recent decades got the full strongman commie experience, I'd imagine most of them would love straight communism about as much as the average eastern European.
Nope.
Venezuelans are scum im currently living in Chile and 90% of them are fricking criminals who rob eldery people outside of banks literal Haitians behave more like human beings than Venezuelas
If it was that difficult to get from Venezuela to the US there wouldn't be thousands of them doing it
I could walk 3000 miles, but I have no idea how to sail 300 miles
Leave /k/ and never return.
Because:
1. Venezuelans have a dozen other safe countries between the Venezuela and the USA.
2. Venezuela isn't at war with it's neighbors, but it's own people; therefore they should stay and fight.
3. We have no way to know if Venezuela is releasing it's prisoners and dumping them on the USA.
4. They're Afro-Indio, we don't want them here.
5. US citizens have a veto on anyone coming in.
Yeah, I heard that on Sean Hannity, too. Seemed sus, so I double checked with Tucker Carlson. Now that I've heard a fair and balanced report from both sides, I'll have to admit that's exactly what Fox News says. Turns out Obama & Hillary are standing at the border handing our citizenships to anyone who wanders by. Disgusting.
I take it you're fine with arrival states bussing them up north? You're the one who wants them, after all.
you are trying too hard
While some people are saying they had an easy trek
That might be true, UNLESS they followed the land route the entire way
Any crazy bastard who crosses the Darien gap deserves citizenship
>2 Russian conscripts
literally doesnt say that at all, you are projecting and reading way too much into this.
If they are 2 military aged males they are just conscripts who haven't gotten their mobilization papers yet.
doesnt mention their age either. OP is grasping at straws
Ah so a baby and a 90 year old man came across? Lets be real, the only people capable of surviving and managing that journey would be men who can fight.
Why couldnt a 90 year old sail my grandpad did well into his late 80s.
I doubt a 90 year old Soviet era pensioner would care to flee to the US at this point, they'd probably turn their grandson in to the recruiters.
Can Russians even live for this long?
>"Can Russians even live for this long?"
Depends on how bad their HIV and alcoholism is.
Life expectancy of Russian men is 73.

>Other villagers said the men told them they were fleeing the Russian military
Bravest men in Russia.
those are kgb, unironically
There to discover what? That even an island in buttfrick nowhere Alaska has toliets where you can flush your shit rags?
If they are then great, for only a few million drug dollars the CIA will make these guys millionaire playboys fricking hookers in Miami and snorting coke off their asses in exchange for state secrets. Our intelligence is far better than there's for this kind of shit.
Eh, maybe you've already forgotten but quite a large number of US senators and reps have gotten their asses rolled by Russian intelligence in recent years. For example, that group of representatives that traveled to Russia on the 4th of July to get humiliated on Russian state tv.
Not that US Int isn't good and effective, but theirs works too
We currently fricked up Iran because they sold Russians 100 drones.
Operatives work in cells and don't know state secrets moron. This isn't James Bond.
>kgb
FSB, grandpa
Same shit since Chekists
They told the locals they were Russian which is how they were caught immediately, if they were KGB they'd try to blend in
How are you gonna blend in on an island where everyone knows everyone and the only change in population has been it dropping…?
Thats why they dont land on a remote islands, but cross the borders legally with legitimate documents posing as respectable and completely average citizens. Their covers are built throughout years to specifically avoid inquiry. Making a daring escape is the opposite of that, arguably it could be only useful if one was to serve as some kind of disinformation or influence agent, like some famous KGB defectors.
The Russians already have tons of intelligence assets on US soil what on earth would they accomplish putting two poor saps on a boat
>Be me and my KGB buddy
>Sail to Alaska on a shitty little boat
>Land on an island in the middle fricking nowhere
>Immediately make our presence known to US government officials
???
Shut up
>all these IT'S NOT US replies
kinda makes me think
why would they send spies in such a public way?
Good for them, I can't imagine sailing my hobby boat on anything bigger than a small lake. I hope they are treated well.
>I can't imagine sailing my hobby boat on anything bigger than a small lake

Could be spies.
It doesn't matter if they are or aren't, the CIA will be interested in them regardless.
cia doesn't care about random vatniks from the far east. these dudes were probably afraid they couldn't get their krokodil fix in the regiments so they went to alaska to get some of that sweet wasilla meth
Right, because if I was going to try to infiltrate US military installations the way I'd do it is via sailboat in a region that is nothing but the occasional listening post spread out among tens of thousands of square miles of hostile tundra.
Send the frickers back
Who even lives in Kamchatka besides native Chukchas and dock workers
Unironically, a shit load of Ukrainians. The far east was Moscows favorite place to resettle the "undesirables"
Ukrainians don't live that far up north, at least not in particular large Numbers
Kamchatka is the tail end of Russia.
It is literally a barren wasteland.
I don't think you can even drive by car to some of the "major" towns there, only by water or air
>It is literally a barren wasteland.
Kamchatka is about as "barren" as south-central Alaska; it's mountainous, wet and covered in taiga, tundra and brown bears. One of my pipe dreams for years has been that Russia becomes so broke that they have to sell themselves for parts and the US buys Kamchatka and Chukotka and in doing so owns the Bering Sea lock stock and barrel like the Turks with the Bosphorous.
The type of boat wasn't mentioned; my guess is that OP is a homosexual who saw "sailed" in the article and thought that that implied "sailboat". Odds are a thousand to one that they used a small commercial vessel, probably a fishing boat and probably stolen. The trip was 300 miles and they said they made it in two days; good fricking luck making 6+ knots in a sailboat in the Bering Sea in October, never mind doing so while cutting across the current.
Why yes I agree with Tom from New York oblast these must be sent back as we are fulfilled in United States of America krai. They are spies, they have covid and also transphobes. They must be returned immediately to the following address:
689202, Egvekinot-Iultin Rd, Эгвeкинoт, Чyкoтcкий aвтoнoмный oкpyг, 689201
Thank you for your cooperation. t. John from Washington oblast
lame, should have started chanting: BUILD THE WALL!
What can of boat are we talking about ?
Russians can be some of the most creative and adventurous people around when not enslaved by the Soviet-israelitetard machine
Fun fact: conscription is not a valid asylum reason. They're getting shipped back.
But is 15 years in a gulag considered a well founded fear of persecution?
Nope, persecution has to be for protected reasons (political or identity).
But they identify as not a conscript.
Hmm, does that qualify as a sexual identity given how much rape goes on in the barracks? They might have a case after all.
It's depend ,for you to get an asylum you need yo prove that Is something that's gonna put you in danger,beacuse yeah they can get conscripted but you can end un some shitty barrack doing laundry.
ATT Venezuela who got asylum
Yeah but they can argue political asylum because Russia is totalitarian and imprisons people for having specific opinions.
they arent70 IQ and brown
they will be shipped back
Then why are Eritreans being allowed to get political asylum for that very reason?
They probably could've taken Bakhmut on their own with that amount of bravery
Russia is gonna be like the new Haiti
Yeah, that's pretty fricking cool imo.
send them to oregon, for some reason all the russians go to oregon
do not
>T. Lives in the Oregon oblast
That's 279 miles? The earth is fricking big
Well, Gagarin never drank, never smoked, exercised all his life to leave Russia for 48 minutes.
And Russian policy still killed him.
Be honest, /k/. Would you assist Russians attempting to flee the war if they landed on your shore?
I'd probably tell them about local shelters or something they could grab a bite to eat from before the feds pick them up, at least.
I would hold them at gunpoint until the Police showed up.
>wife is Ukrainian
>loves to make handmade knives and tomahawks
>believes that Russia should have been nuked into glass by the US military on day 1 of the war
>followed by a violent extermination program
>not just the men, but the women and children too
I would walk into the garage and find her skinning them alive. I have no doubts about that.
>not just the men, but the women and children too
she sounds charming
She's an absolute darling, except when it comes to Russians.
Can I have a clone waifu please?
She clearly understands (real) history and Russia, not the lies about we all God's chillun'.
Based wife, where can i find one?
Try a Renaissance festival or faire. That's where I met her when she was practically thrown into my arms by a very drunk man trying to get her out of the way in his rush to vomit in a secluded location.
>alcoholic cupid will never throw your soulmate into your arms
Would she slaughter them like animals?
This. Kneecap them just to be sure.
I doubt they'd even have the energy to stand if they survive a journey like that. I wonder how long it actually took to cross the ocean like that.
I’d tell them to frick off back to Russia.
Good job!
I'd love to read that USCG or Alaska State Police report.
>t. Went fishing in Seward in June and have a decent idea of how hellish Alaskan waves can be
During WW2 a German soldier rörd across the Baltic Sea from Finland to Sweden.

>just how bad is serving in Russia's military?
imagine you're drafted to the Afghanistan/Iraq war as a burger.
except:
>there was no 9/11
>the ragheads are actually destroying us
>our logistics are absolute shit and our equipment are 50+ years old and unmaintained
>you're not paid
>if you're permanently injured, you're paid a few dollars and some cooking oil
>rampant homosexual rape and dick sucking within the military
>you're getting maybe 2 weeks of training before shipping out to take artillery fire
Yea, I'd rather fight the oceans and die like the countless sailors in history than jump into a meat grinder.
Don't forget
>have to pay for your own mres, body armor, and first aid.
>glorious Ford Focus for momma.
can they apply for asylum?
Maybe.
Would depend on what the government wants to do. On one hand, the US doesn't look at draft dodging as a legitimate excuse for Americans to flee abroad and still charges people who tried to run from Vietnam. If they had been issued mobilization orders, then it's possible they get sent back to avoid encouraging defection and desertion. But the opportunity to stick it to the Russian federation might make the Americans happy to overlook that.
If they hadn't been mobilized and are claiming to flee political prosecution, they'll probably get asylum if they can show some sort of affiliation with opposition politics.
If they had already been mobilized and processed into the Russian military, there's also the possibility that they get interred for the duration of the conflict as the Americans are non belligerents.
Info on the specific circumstances are kind of sparse, but what they did was pretty jonesy. It's about 50 miles of open water between the Russian mainland and Gambell, AK. They went on a day that happened to have calm seas and favorable winds. Had they waited two more days it would have been 8 foot waves and gale force winds in the wrong direction.
>still charges people who tried to run from Vietnam.
only if they went awol/deserted. the draft dodgers were pardoned by carter in 1977

Lol those Russians are now seeking asylum
>in a hobbyist sailboat
Any confirmation on this? I want to know how impressed I should be.
I assumed they'd taken a small fishing boat.
So did we shoot them or did we fly them back to Moscow to be hung?
