EXCLUSIVE: 'If you post that you are against war they will come after you.' Thousands of desperate Russians are seeking asylum in the US by way of Mexico where no visas are necessary as they flee Putin's political persecution and conscription

Thousands of desperate Russians fleeing conscription and political persecution by Vladimir Putin's goons are claiming asylum on the US- crossing over from Mexico - and creating instructional videos showing others how to do it, DailyMail.com can reveal.

In the first two months of 2022 alone, 5,984 Russians sought asylum compared to just 3,893 in the whole of 2021 according to Custom and Border Protection figures.

As a result, Russians are now the number one nationality seeking help at refugee shelters run by the San Diego Rapid Response Network – a charity that coordinates shelter and legal advice for asylum seekers.

Video diaries show how fleeing Russians travel to Mexico – one of the few countries that allow them visa-free travel – and then make their way to Tijuana on the US border in Baja California.

Honestly, at a minimum, there's gonna be a major brain drain from Russia.

All the young, bright kids are connected via the internet and understand what's really going on.

They're gonna flee in droves.

Just what we need - more illegals pouring over our southern border...you know, the one that the Biden Administration is locking down.

Well, I thought he was cool (so am I a cynic?) until I heard tale of him suppressing opposition media and trying to imprison the opposition party candidate he unseated for what appears to be trumped up charges.

The charges of treason and supporting terrorism, the issue in court on Wednesday, stem from his policy as president of allowing the purchase of coal from mines in areas in eastern Ukraine held by Russian-backed separatists for use in factories in government-controlled territory. Mr. Poroshenko has said that the arrangement was necessary to avoid economic collapse in Ukraine. If convicted, he faces 15 years in prison.

Where did I say an invasion was justified? The conflict in Eastern Ukraine has been going on for almost a decade and Russia is not entirely to blame for it.

Maybe when the Soviet Union broke up the Russians who had established themselves in Ukraine should have gone back home? Maybe they didn't quite stomp out Ukrainian nationalism as completely as they'd hoped and planned. We don't care much for damn yankees and californians invading the south and bringing trash culture with them. Seems quite natural that real Ukrainians (and a lot of the old Soviet states) might harbor grudges against Russians, but none of them seem to be invading Russia ... there's just one group to blame here - and they seem to be saying we didn't want you then, and we damn sure don't want you now.

I actually don’t think it meets the definition of genocide. My point is, the Ukraine military has been killing their citizens who wanted to break away from Ukraine and become a Russia state.

It’s one of many big points of tension between Russia and Ukraine that has been ongoing for years.

Russia should have taken their trash back home when the Soviet Union fell, but they left them there to oppose real Ukrainians. That's another way of looking at it.

Maybe the Saudis can invite Putin to their embassy in Turkey? Heard that's where Saudis like to cut through the crap and get to the heart of the issue ;)

You should have seen where they were a couple presidents ago.

I'm not going to put him up for sainthood, but what he's done the last week is quite gutsy.

Biden WON'T ban Russian oil: Press kicked of Cabinet meeting during questions on Russian energy and Psaki snaps at reporters as Nancy Pelosi leads lawmakers urging White House to stop imports

The White House does not support a ban on Russian oil imports, according to press secretary Jen Psaki, despite even House Speaker Nancy Pelosi joining in on the calls for the U.S. to cease buying Moscow's fuel.

'We don't have a strategic interest in reducing the global supply of energy, and that would raise prices at the gas pump for the American people,' Psaki told reporters Thursday.

Asked what would need to happen 'on the ground' in Ukraine for the U.S. to stop buying Russian oil, the press secretary demurred.

Zelensky says it's a 'pity' Biden and the West's support came AFTER the war started and the 'end of the world has arrived' in defiant news conference as US warns 90% of Putin's Border Forces have Now Crossed Into Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the US and the West had acted too late to protect his country from the might of the Russian army and described how 'the end of the world has arrived' during a news conference on Thursday.

He appealed for more help during a defiant appearance in his capital Kyiv as fighting entered its second week.

A Pentagon official said Russia has now sent almost all its assembled combat power across the border into Ukraine, while reports suggested they were gaining ground across the south.

Zelensky repeated his plea for a NATO no-fly zone to protect his cities and troops.

You know our news media are back at work again lately pushing "studies" that prove covid came from meat markets ... and that it just happened to be in a place where kiddies were tinkering with a virus never known to infect man was just coincidental.

Of course they are, despite the actual facts.
