Two Russians who said they fled the country to avoid compulsory military service have requested asylum in the U.S. after landing on a remote Alaskan island in the Bering Sea, Alaska U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s office said Thursday.
Karina Borger, a spokesperson for Murkowski, said by email that the office has been in communication with the U.S. Coast Guard and Customs and Border Protection and that “the Russian nationals reported that they fled one of the coastal communities on the east coast of Russia to avoid compulsory military service.”
Spokespersons with the Coast Guard and Customs and Border Protection each referred a reporter’s questions to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which did not immediately respond Thursday.

They’re spies, Jim.
Blimey, like watching the Vietnam War all over again....../s
Send them to Canada where they belong
Only in reverse..................
In case you wanted to know where they landed at. You can only visit the island with the permission of the natives:

I guess they could see America from their front porch and decided to take advantage of the proximity.
Lulz, now that was funny.
“Emergency! Everybody to get from street!”
“We are of course Norwegian!”
Incredible video. Thanks for posting!
Do you have any idea how many Christians and conservatives have left here and become Russian citizens? Quite a few. And, they all the say the same thing — they are happy to move to a country where there are two genders, marriage is between a man and a woman and/or where the LGBT agenda isn’t being forced upon their kids.
Typical.
Russians who don’t want to Invade thrir neighbors without permission can’t even avoid doing it by accident ehen armed with nothing better than a rowboat.
Ah, the wonders of low ambition. Seriously, they could’ve just moved to Westbrook and joined a church that thinks about nothing else than God Hates Fags.
Autocorrect fail - Westboro.
Who was the governor from Alaska that was made fun of?
Come on without
Come on within
You’ve not seen nothing like the mighty Palin.😁
Update on Russian operations in Ukraine for October 5, 2022
- Latest US aid package falls far short of replacing steep Ukrainian losses amid continued offensives;
- Ukraine’s offensive has limited capabilities, will not achieve “victory” over Russian forces in territory deemed “Ukrainian” by Kiev;
- Ukrainian offensive is an “all-or-nothing” proposition, hoping to achieve psychological and political gains toward ending the conflict in ways Ukrainian military force cannot;
- Western analysts celebrate the psychological impact the offensive is having on pro-Russian media, pundits, and even prominent members of Russian society;
- In reality, Ukraine will be left overextended and vulnerable just as Russia’s 300,000-strong mobilization begins shaping the battlefield.
In Ukrainian channels, information about the state of the Armed Forces of Ukraine appeared. They refer to the data of the General Staff.
Here is what the military-political leadership of Ukraine hides:
- the staffing of the Armed Forces of Ukraine remains at the level of 43-48%;
- losses among military personnel - more than 191 thousand killed and wounded;
- statistics on missing persons are not maintained; - medicine is working at its limit, the seriously wounded are taken through Poland for treatment in European countries (Germany, France, Italy);
- an acute shortage of small arms and body armor;
- the resource of some samples of equipment transferred by the allies is ending (the first batches of American M777, M109, new Panzerhaubitse 2000 and MARS II);
- the lack of qualified specialists in the operation of Western weapons, so the equipment is operated by people without a deep understanding of the materiel;
- a problem with consumables, especially hydraulics and liquid nitrogen, necessary for M777 howitzers;
- in the field, an automated fire control system does not last long, fragments and dust are killed quickly enough; there are no opportunities for repairs on the spot, we have to send them to Poland, where there are spare parts and specialists.
In addition, the MPS of Ukrainian military personnel remains at a low level, despite the recent information campaign to distribute “encouraging” materials on social networks and organized concerts.
Such a deplorable state of the Armed Forces of Ukraine can only testify to one thing - they do not have long to exist.
I remember going to see this movie as a kid.
Funny as hell.
