Russia invading St.Lucia...



...Russia making trade and deals anywhere it can find..America stays war mongering, meanwhile Russia and Asia stay investing across the globe

125+ Russian billionaires headed to St.Lucia..

St.Lucia has now dropped any Visa requirements for Russians...




Ambassador of the Russian Federation His Excellency paid a courtesy call to the office of the St.Lucia Leader of the Opposition Dr. Gale Rigobert.

The purpose of the visit, according to the ambassador is to strengthen bilateral relations between the Russian Federation and Saint Lucia.


She says Russia and Saint Lucia have a long-standing cordial relationship that continues to thrive, however she believes courtesy calls like these are more than just symbolic.
The Russian Ambassador expressed keen interest in the Saint Lucia’s 35th Independence anniversary. Saint Lucia and Russia have shared approximately ten years of diplomatic relations

He explains the Regatta scheduled for March 23rd to 28th will lure approximately 120 Russian millionaires to the island.

The Ministry of Tourism and the Saint Lucia Tourist Board have organised several business meetings with many of the guests to discuss investment opportunities. Minister for Tourism Lorne Theophilus says the Government’s plans to expand the yachting sector have come to fruition.


The island is also exploring yachting ventures with Taiwan

considering the actions Russia is taking in other parts of the world, a bunch of Russian millionaires moving to Saint Lucia isn't actually an invasion, comparatively speaking.

After global warming and the climate change created wild wicked weather and flooding oceans, there will be miles and miles of open beachfront, free to those willing to homestead. Or just be a beach bum.

Frankly, the idea gives me reason to live longer. Imagine life as a beach bum again without a care in the world except what's for dinner!!
