    Even the members of SPECTRE do not want to be seen with those folks.

    trump tried to force ukraine to take deported immigrants

    Trump team urged Ukraine to take U.S. deportees amid war, documents show

    The Trump administration earlier this year urged the Ukrainian government to accept an unspecified number of U.S. deportees who are citizens of other countries, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post, an extraordinary request of a nation at war and dependent on American military and financial support for its survival.

    The documents do not indicate how officials in Kyiv responded to the late-January proposal, relayed by a senior U.S. diplomat, that called for sending third-country nationals to Ukraine amid Russia’s deadly, devastating invasion — and despite the absence of a functioning airport there b continual air attacks. A Ukrainian diplomat informed the U.S. Embassy only that her government would offer a response once it formulated a position, according to the documents, which show that similar proposals were issued to a number of other countries around the same date.

    Ukraine has not accepted any third-party nationals from the United States, and there is no indication that Kyiv seriously considered the American proposal. Two Ukrainian officials familiar with the matter, who like some others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss interactions with the Trump administration, said the topic never reached the government’s highest level. One of the officials said he was unaware of any “political demands” made by the United States regarding its desire for Ukraine to take in deportees.

    I didn’t follow this. Why “destroy them”? And what’s the point with “the Ukrainians, well, they seem either intellectual or civilized people”?

    “You know what surprised me the most in this story? It’s the Russian reaction to the attack, that Ukrainians observed the two pilots being rescued after ejecting and didn’t destroy them. The Russians say, 'We would have definitely destroyed them.' But the Ukrainians, well, they seem either intellectual or civilized people," Kryvolap concluded.”
