KingKarl Bushby: Made a bet in 1998 that he could walk from Chile to England. 27 Years later, Still walking. Survived Darién Gap, 57 days in a Russian prison, Traversing the Bering Strait on shifting ice
Gates9In March 2006, Bushby and French adventurer Dimitri Kieffer crossed the Bering Strait on foot, having to take a roundabout 14-day route across a frozen 150-mile (240 km) section to cross the 58-mile (93 km) wide strait from Alaska to Siberia.[4] They were detained by Russian border troop officers while they were crossing the Russian border near the Chukotkan village of Uelen, for not entering Russia at a correct port of entry.
Huh, I didn’t even think that was possible. Imagine the immigration officers face when they told him how they got there.
dual_sport_dork 🐧🗡️It’s also an incredibly stupid bureaucratic clusterfuck of the magnitude that only customs and border people can achieve. Surely there should be some mechanism wherein you can send a letter or something to the Russian authorities to inform them, “Hey, we’re trying this stupid stunt and here is our plan, let us make our declarations now and we’ll pick up all the paperwork on the way once we get there.” But there probably isn’t, and then you wind up with crap like this.
The tinniest of tin-pot jumped up little dictators are never to actually be found in your nation’s capital. Instead they’re all lined up along its borders acting like these various lines in the sand were laser-etched there by god and aren’t ultimately just arbitrary and, indeed, historically much more fluid than they’d like to pretend.
AllNewTypeFaceIt’s Russia.
If you think that you’d be treated differently entering USA in undesignated point of entry… You’d be right. If you didn’t get shot on the spot, you’d rot in jail for decades until somebody decides to deal with your case.
He is white. I’m sure they would slap him on the ass and tell him not to get into too much trouble.
Don’t know what you’ve heard but the government is specifically targeting people based on their Melanin.
Lol. I’m white passing. I can tell you with certainty that the danger is disproportionately aimed at one side of the Melanin scale. (It isn’t the side I inhabit, btw.)
Okay cool you can say that as much as you want, but there are documented cases demonstrating that this effects everyone in the US or attempting to enter.
I even acknowledged already that POC are disproportionately affected in my last comment. Why are you trying to manufactured an argument?
I came to make a joke about the over abundance of American racism.
You: Well akshually…
Unfortunately it’s hard to tell it’s a joke these days when my country is being an absolute shithole and doing these bad things.
You could have started by saying you meant it as a joke. Tone doesn’t translate to text
I said they would slap his ass. Words do translate to tone, you just seemed to be really offended that white people didn’t make the cut.
See you tell me it’s a joke then you keep making claims that aren’t entirely accurate. Idk what you want at this point
Have you tried deez?
