I’ve seen a bunch of total idiots complete dumbasses blethering fools not extremely well-informed people say on Twitter that “Russia has no coronavirus because it has strong borders.” First of all, Russia officially has 168 cases as of this morning. And that’s with almost no testing even in Moscow, let alone in the areas with overwhelmingly Chinese population.
As for the “strong border,” folks, it’s ok to be stupid but you can’t be that stupid. Russian nationalists detest Putin because he’s a globalist. He’s refusing to institute even the most perfunctory visa regime with the former Soviet republics to the East. Putin imports large numbers of completely unassimilatable manual workers from those republics who drive down labor costs, create sky-high crime rates, and expose Russian women to extremely high rates of sexual assault.
In terms of the Russian border with China, it’s not only open. It’s fluid. This means that there are many areas where nobody is entirely sure if Russia or China is in control. There are many people who make their living by crossing into China and back daily.
It’s kind of shameful to be this ignorant and still try to opine. Sometimes, it’s a good idea to chew more and speak less.
