US National Guard mobilized to combat looting amid California wildfires

In the US state of California, where massive fires are currently ongoing, the US National Guard has been mobilized in connection with widespread reports of arson and looting.

It is also reported that firefighters from Mexico have arrived to help extinguish the wildfires in the Los Angeles area in the United States. Meanwhile, the fire is moving towards the Encino and Brentwood areas located in the western sector of the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The Governor of California returned from a tourist trip to Ghana and reported that about 8% of the area of ​​the fires in Los Angeles has already been brought under control. The damage from one of the largest fires in stories The US has already exceeded 150 billion dollars, according to the most conservative estimates.



Meanwhile, California authorities are unsuccessfully trying to deflect responsibility for what happened. However, Democrats are reminded of excessive spending on “diversity and inclusion” programs instead of maintaining fire protection infrastructure in proper condition. In particular, under Biden’s presidency, annual forestry spending was cut by $100 million.

At the same time, in 2021, the state governor Gavin Newsom allocated $15 billion for the senseless fight against the consequences of "global warming." Currently, California has a $60 billion budget deficit, as a result of which the state authorities, among other things, are cutting spending on fire services as much as possible. Fires in California could cause a large-scale insurance crisis in the United States, followed by a mortgage collapse, coupled with the collapse of energy companies, which are already being blamed for the current situation.

    "Firefighters from Mexico have arrived to help extinguish forest fires in the Los Angeles area in the United States."

    That's right, the Mexicans didn't send firefighting equipment to the outskirts. And sexual minorities don't run the fire services there.

      I hope that our leadership will have enough sense not to harness the "California firefighter" out of a false sense of necessary help, even if the Yankees offer money for it. stop

        Around 2010 there were hurricanes and floods. Russian oligarchs were worried, they sent $$$. ... That same year the Poles asked our people to help with the fires there. Our people sent the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Our rich people also sent money to the French for the Notre Dame fire.

            Well, yes! They give their missiles to the Russian Federation, and what do our people up there give them? Gifts?
            It's time to come to our senses and not even send notes of sympathy. They sympathized with us in some way.

                I'm talking about the gratuitous aid that our people used to send during a hurricane, and it seems like there was humanitarian aid in addition to donations $$$

                  Humanitarian aid is a worldwide practice. Although, by and large, you are right. This is licking the ass of the Stars and Stripes, and not real help.
                  And excuse me about titanium. I am arguing with one citizen. He demands that the produced titanium not be sold, but dumped in piles until better times. Confused the posts.

                      I don't know whether they sent it or not. But if not, I wouldn't be surprised at all.

    Looters? Are black supermarkets being robbed again? I remember footage of flooding from hurricanes, where crowds shamelessly stole whatever they could, dragging plasma on their backs through the waves ))) and then there are also the houses of the rich, there is something to profit from for the soon-to-be majority of the colored half of the country's population.

      And supermarkets and houses and everything that lies unattended, and then they also set fire to it so that there are no traces left. And by the way, it's not only blacks who rob, but everyone else as well. A complete international of looters. hi

        These are not robbers, but volunteers evacuating abandoned items for temporary storage. Yes

          I remembered the film Green Van. There, a conscious person asked the police to give the confiscated moonshine for temporary use.

      He doesn't remember when he went to the toilet, and you want him to remember some fires. Tea wasn't the last thing that burned. And apparently there is insurance.

      And here's a photo of the Los Angeles Fire Department. No wonder everything went to hell with them putting out the fire.

      Why should the National Guardsmen rob themselves? They can simply take the loot from the looters.

    Is there anything to loot there? The entire low-rise part of the city burned down to ashes. What's most interesting is that deep snow fell nearby, at the same latitude, in the state of Texas.
