I don’t see how anyone could fight fires in Siberia as remote and vast as it is.

Could be eco terrorists or Ukrainian/WEF terrorists starting these fires too.

I firmly believe that about 80% of our “wildfires” of the last 2 decades were started on purpose for nefarious reasons.


nefarious=$$$

In those remote forested areas, various environmental wacko groups deliberately start forest fires in order to drive out the locals whose land they snap up cheap and add to the land under their ‘care’, but which they sell to members at a discount. Locals always knew that a big fire was coming when lots of yuppy and hippy types suddenly appeared in their small communities.

The whole of the Klamath (Oregon) debacle was managed this way - strictly for the benefit of The Nature Conservancy, American Rivers and others.

—”Another sneak attack by China???”

The Chinese are recalculating their bid for the whole of Russia after Putin trashes it.

Already rock bottom low and dropping.

No bombs or sinking ships are needed.
She was purchased on long-term credit while sucking all the natural resources out of the country.

Russia’s GDP was less than Canada, before the war.

The Chinese are patiently waiting for the fire sale and they are the only buyer.

Mother Russia? Totally screwed for generations.

Siberian wildfires occur on a vast scale every year. This is not news, it’s climate porn.
