Putin's conflict in Ukraine: is entering perilous waters, and the risk of escalation with the West is higher now

As Poland and Slovakia arm Kyiv with fighter jets and Russian warplanes expel American drones from the skies, Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Moscow and Chinese companies supplying assault weapons and body armor to Moscow's troops show support for Putin's conflict in Ukraine. The situation is precarious, and the risk of escalation with the West is higher than ever since the initial invasion.

Although NATO aims to avoid direct confrontation with Russian forces, its support for Ukraine has helped Kyiv resist. Putin's increasing desperation raises the likelihood of threats and actions that could escalate tensions with the West, making any miscalculation potentially catastrophic.

With Russia suffering heavy losses on the ground in and around Bakhmut, the ingredients for inadvertent escalation are present. Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Defence plans to recruit another 400,000 contract soldiers in 2023, aiming to boost its military from 1 million to 1.5 million personnel.

As Putin's position weakens and Zelensky's spring offensive approaches, Ukraine aims to kick Russian troops out of eastern Ukraine and Crimea, potentially signaling the end of Putin's rule. However, this could also lead to a dangerous moment, as Russia has laid the framework for nuclear weapons use in specific circumstances.

Currently, only the US and UK seem capable of confronting Putin, minimizing the threat and protecting their allies worldwide. Immediate action is necessary to ensure the safety of the American and British publics.

NYT - The pandemic has also put many of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s operations on hold. On March 18, the agency said it would “temporarily adjust its enforcement posture” to focus not on ordinary immigrants in the country illegally, but on those who pose a public safety or criminal threat.The agency said it would not carry out enforcement actions near health care facilities “except in the most extraordinary of circumstances” and would instead focus its efforts on human trafficking, gangs and drug enforcement.

Hmong and Lao immigrants with standing deportation orders could be deported from the U.S.

Hmong and Lao immigrants with standing deportation orders could soon be deported from the U.S. as the on-going talks between the Trump Admin and the government of Laos continue.

45 years after the Secret War brought thousands of Hmong and Laos refugees to the United States, the Trump administration wants to deport thousands of Hmong immigrants, including many refugees, because of years-old criminal convictions or those who are currently on the deportation orders. 

The Trump Administration officials have been working behind the scenes to pressure the Laos government to accept the Hmong and Lao immigrants who have committed crimes with criminal convictions that have been ordered removed from the U.S. by the immigration judges. Though the U.S. government officials and the Laos side are not making any public statement or talking publicly, it was confirmed by federal State Department officials on Monday, According to Minnesota Public Radio and first made headlines last week after Rep. Betty McCollum wrote a letter to the Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to express her opposition on behalf of her constituents. 

What's at stake? If and when the Laos government agrees to sign the agreement, it means many former refugees who came to the United States legally as refugees after the Secret War; who have committed crimes and on the deportation order list are facing imminent deportation back to Laos, a country some has never visited, many also were born in the refugee camps in Thailand. 

According to NBC News dated Oct. 29, 2019, by Kimmy Yam, "in 2002, the two countries struck an agreement in which Cambodia consented to take in a limited number of deportees. The agreement prompted backlash and protests from the Cambodian American community, who raised humanitarian concerns around the deportations since a significant portion of those at risk came to the U.S. as refugees. The Cambodian government ended up halting the issuing of travel documents for deportation in August 2017 

Similarly, the government of Vietnam also have signed an agreement with the U.S. agreed to take back people who came to the U.S. after 1995 but not those that came to the U.S. before 1995. However, according to an article published by NPR on March 4, 2019, the Trump administration wants to expand on that agreement to be able to deport Vietnamese immigrants who came here before 1995 and have committed a crime.

It's unclear how the Trump administration plans to implement such a harsh policy toward one of their most royal allies, the Hmong. No doubt that many organizations and supporters of the Hmong will protest such a hardline approach. Nevertheless, when it becomes reality, Hmong and Lao immigrants who are falling into the category(ies) described above will face the real possibility of being deported to Laos.

7 Amazing Hmong Proverbs

7 Amazing Hmong proverbs

Hmong proverbs are hundreds of years old. Some of them
were created for their own sake, and others originated from the Hmong legends.
They all have the same goal of teaching for life lessons. It’s an educational way
of transmitting the wisdom over hundreds, if not, thousands of years to the
younger generation.

1.   Nyob deb txo dej txo cawv, nyob ze rho hluav taws hlawv.

People will be a lot kinder when they live far apart but show their
true colors when they are together. Sometimes, long-distance relationships are
better than having a close one.

2.   Hais ruab zoo nrov ruab tsuag, hais hauv tsev ncha saum luag.

Talk quietly, the deep jungle can echo loud into the forest. Talk quietly,
inside your own home may rebound loudly to the whole village. This teaches us
that rumor is louder than the sound of thunder really… and it can spread
quickly without borders.

3.   Lag-luam zoo thawj ntsug, pojniam zoo thawj tug.

A successful business usually happens at your first attempt. A good
marriage also usually your first. It teaches us that whatever you do, it’s best
not to fail, as your first attempt usually is your best.

4.   Xyoob loj tsis cuag ntoo, muaj zog tsis cuag muaj hmoo.

Bamboo will never grow as big as
a tree, therefore being lucky is better than being physically strong. This
teaches us that it doesn’t matter how physically strong you are, you will never
be able to beat someone with luck and you will rather be being lucky than not.

5.   Ua tau tsev thiaj pom zoo ntoo, muaj pojniam lawm mam pom hluas-nkauj zoo

People usually find better materials after they have already built
their house. Once you are married you will see more beautiful or handsome
people. This teaches us to not regret
for the choice we made in life because you’ll always see more things in life,
but nothing will be better than the one you have than the one you wish you have.

6. Ua ruam thiaj tau nyob zov luag tsev, ua ntse ces tau ua luag qhev.

Acting stupid and you will be allowed to stay home, acting smart and
you will be put to work hard to serve others. This teaches us that even if you
think you know everything, it’s best to not show off your talents.

7.   Txhawj mob yog txhawj tsam tuag, txhawj lub neej yog txhawj tsam tau txoj kev pluag.

Worry when you are sick because you fear of dying, worry while you are
living because you fear of being poor. This teaches us that everyone wants to
live and don’t want to die, but we are living, we all want a good life for
ourselves and our family.
