I wouldn't read too much into reported on "ulterior motives" as the press should be clueless at this point if the War Dept is doing their job. A Russian talking head is the LAST place I'd go for information. But Zerohedge went there. Maybe the leaks are being plugged at the Pentagon finally and these "journalists" are scraping for content to file?

Iirc I've seen both things said, both Russian is and isn't going to be involved, basically. Idk, they're winning in Ukraine right now, there's brics, just always a risk tiny war becomes big war. But we'll see what happens, I don't necessarily trust anything just trying to see big picture.

Not that laws or court decisions seem to matter to some people here (and some people in our government, apparently), this one flies in the face of an argument I have seen here multiple times.

"Such repeated conjoined use by high-ranking officials of thewords “criminal” and “alien” prompts the need for clarification of two fundamental facts inreviewing the two pending motions brought by individual immigrants and an immigrant-focusedorganization in this case. First, “[a]s a general rule, it is not a crime for a removable alien to remain present in the United States.” Arizona v. United States, 567 U.S. 387, 407 (2012)(citing INS v. Lopez-Mendoza, 468 U.S. 1032, 1038 (1984))."

We may WANT it to be a crime, but the law doesn't give a crap about what we WANT. It only matters what the law IS (until some dirty judge decides against the actual rule of law).
