There was a time, and not all that long ago, when arriving in America meant being greeted by a man with a comically large smile, a flag the size of a small principality, and the words “welcome home, friend,” even if you’d never set foot in the place before.

Trillions went into building that brand.

And now look. The Senegal national football team, invited guests, arriving for the World Cup, being patted down on the tarmac by a chap in a bucket hat whose vest says Aviation Logistics and whose body language says “spread ’em.” This is not a welcome. It is a stop-and-search before the players have so much as breathed American air.

“We love all people,” the Americans used to say. For decades. With feeling. They printed it on t-shirts and stitched it into the lining of their foreign policy. Turns out the small print, only legible under a Trump administration, reads: “terms and conditions apply, please consult the attached list of acceptable nationalities, allow six to eight weeks for processing, void where it makes the President uncomfortable.”

The truly bleak thing about the photo isn’t the search. It is that nobody in it looks remotely surprised.

This bald jerk ruined FIFA’s reputation the same guy who made up a fake FIFA Peace Prize for the Orange Fool. It’s time to boycott FIFA.

De VS zijn echt bezig hun land op de kaart aan het zetten, nietwaar?

“Tickets ingetrokken: supporters uit Iran ineens niet welkom op WK voetbal.”

The Senegalese 🇸🇳 delegation gets this treatment on arrival in the USA. Full tarmac searches, shoes off, bags turned inside out like criminals.

This is straight up humiliation and a disgrace. They’d never put white boys through the same.

La decisión de Europa es clara: o nos unimos como actor global o nos convertimos en espectadores de las decisiones de otros. Tenemos clara la respuesta, apostamos por una Europa unida y soberana.

La “Operación Militar Especial” de Vladimir Putin 🇷🇺 en Ucrania 🇺🇦 se encuentra a tan sólo 48 horas de superar en duración a la Primera Guerra Mundial.

Uno de los mayores errores de cálculo de la historia moderna.

The 75 countries in red are the ones currently blocked from immigrating to the USA.

They also find it almost impossible to go to the World Cup, whether as a fan, journalist, player or even referee.

Why was the USA ever allowed to host the World Cup?

Ukraine‘s president Zelenskyy in an interview with Skynews disclosed that Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich came to Kyiv, Ukraine. This secret meeting took place recently and Zelenskyy made clear that Ukraine is not going to surrender any parts of Ukraine, including Donbas. Zelenskyy said that the only compromise he is willing to take is an unconditional ceasefire.

This are interesting news. Abramovich would have never come to Kyiv if this wasn’t sanctioned by Putin. In other words, Putin blinked.
