They were once refugees from Communism, shouldn't he be expelling them up north before Venezuelans from another state?

Who actually cares about Venezuelan immigrants in USA? And rich Cuban former immigrants probably have more in common with American upper-middle class than poor Cuban immigrants at this stage?

The situation is getting very dire here in Hungary, a LOT of venues are closing down because local governments are out of money and the heating is too expensive for the winter. This includes sport venues. I am not sure how much longer can indoor sports hold on in Hungary. For example, Vác is one of the strongest Hungarian women's handball clubs and their arena will be closed down. That's a club which is currently playing in the European League. 

 

Sports, culture, our education system, everything is collapsing. Orbán's house of cards is falling apart, we are clearly the weakest, most unstable European Union state economically, we will be the first to truly go down due to the huge recession that is about to hit the world.

the world war 3 

 

Lukashenko said his country will deploy a regional group of military forces with Russia in response to Poland allegedly militarizing its border with Belarus.

 

 

Poland Asks Citizens to Immediately Leave Belarus

Belarussian Army is less than 20,000 soliders in active duty. They have no assets to participate in any active military campaign right now (other than serve as cannon fodder). And what's worse, sending troops to fight for Putin might be one thing that actually sweeps Lukashenka from power because the same army would then be missing to combat any public unrest within Belarus.

    • There might be modern tracks for lots of sports in Ashgabat actually. They organised some Asian martial arts competition some time ago and for that they built all sort of megalomaniac infrastructures (you see the picture of the gigantic horse head? That’s part of the main stadium), all in white (there’s some rule from the president that everything needs to be white in that city), and all pretty much abandoned since that time.   According to the delusional/brainwashed local people we met, “all those investments are understandable because Ashgabat will organize the Olympic very soon”.    That’s because the dictator is obsessed with huge buildings, if you see my third last photo, that is actually an indoor ferry wheel (yes, it’s a thing apparently), the largest one in the world (Guiness world record), and it looked really abandoned. Me and my wife were the only ones going on it.   Everything in that country (but especially in Ashgabat) is bizarre.
    • Baku is a large resort. There is a modern track in cycling in Ashgabat. The World Championships were supposed to be held some years ago.
    • There are some government allowed routes that go to the West, but the usual one is just around the two main cities (Ashgabat and Mary) and then crossing the desert to that gas fire crater.   thats what I did, entered from the east from Bukhara (Uzbekistan) and left again to Uzbekistan but in the Khiva border.   Not sure how’s the caspian sea there, but the only time I saw it , in Azerbaijan, didn’t look very clean to swim.
    • ...and this is how I learned Costco sells poutine in Canada    Is it a food court item there, or something you buy and prepare at home?
    • I don't see any photos from the Caspian Sea? I wonder if there are swimming conditions there?
    • Some other fast swims today include a new commonwealth record by Duncan Scott in the 400m free and a European record in the 100m IM by Marchand. Watch out for some quick swims in the 200m free and 200m IM later on. 
    • Last stop on this TISC Central Asia tour: Turkmenistan    One of the most closed and censored lands in the world, Turkmenistan is a place with incredible things to visit, with a beautiful desert landscape, historical ruins from ancient civilisations, and the unique "Door to Hell".   But it is also a country where everything is controlled and restricted (we had no access to social networks and tons of blocked websites, can only enter with invitation letter, with a predefined tour and accompanied by a guide at all times), with giant megalomaniac buildings created in order to maintain a cult of the leader and its regime. It basically felt like what i imagine is North Korea (but without the hate for americans).   It is eccentric, it is impressive, but above all, it is bizarre. Here is a patriotic catchy song i heard when was traveling there. .      Mähri Pirgulyýewa – Halkyň arkadagly zamanasy
