    Yes, indeed. Ask Finland. They had increasing numbers of illegal immigrants all without passports crossing over from Russia in recent weeks. They are now tightening down security on that border.

    If you believe those immigrants from Asia and Middle East just took a wrong turn and somehow marched all across Russia without any papers just to accidentally end up in Finland, I’ve got a bridge to sell to you.

      I just checked the “increasing numbers” and it turns out it’s a couple hundred people at most. You’re really being a baby about this. Is it also Russia’s fault when you stub your toe in the morning?

        Is it still “Russophobia” when Russia really is the problem?

          Truly Finland’s #1 problem, illegal aliens from Kazakhstan!

          Or you’re racist shithead and it doesn’t matter what Russia or anyone actually does. Your politics is merely a set of vibes-based trivia that appeal to your prejudices.

          It’s still racism to talk about illegal immigrants. It’s Russophobic to blame Russia for being racist.

            I’d probably word this as “it’s racism to make a boogeyman out of illegal immigrants” or something. Obviously just referring to them as a group is analytically helpful in a number of situations

      But he is talking about Geert Wilders and his anti immigration stance, saying the massive waves are Russia’s responsibility. There are near 0 immigrants in The Netherlands coming from Russia. So is Russia also responsible for the Arab and African refugees that are coming to The Netherlands? For the Polish and Bulgarian and Romanian labour immigrants?
