Vladimir Putin appears to have teamed up with a Libyan warlord to trigger a fresh migrant crisis in the European Union.
The European Commission has tracked an increased number of flights between the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi and Minsk, the capital of Belarus.
Officials said the pattern suggested possible co-ordination with Gen Khalifa Haftar, the military strongman who controls much of eastern Libya, to facilitate a wave of illegal migration into the bloc.
It could mark a repeat of the summer of 2021, when tens of thousands of would-be asylum seekers were helped across the borders of Belarus in what officials warned was a Russian-orchestrated attempt to destabilise the EU.

Must be how Putin is going to get leverage on Trump when they meet, threaten more undocumented immigrants.

I have not been out to my favorite Mexican Food place, perhaps I'm nervous to see how things have been disrupted by ICE and their thuggish efforts (and their prices are a little on the high side, so it's not just one thing).
What will it take to get tRUMP to realize that he's screwing up the Economy? Especially when viewed from his tiny eyes looking out the periscope of his feeble mind. Economic indicators are slowing down, big time, and I suspect that he's going to tamper w/ the next few sets of numbers and f**k up everything. Or they won't even publish them. Of course, the powers that be, won't be happy since they won't be in the know after tRUMP's messing around w/ the numbers.
