Lets not forget how Russia tried to foment a crisis with Poland by dumping thousands of Refugees in Belarus and having potato man try and ship them over the border into the EU. Poland wasn't having it, deployed the Army, set up barbed wire and positioned tanks at the official border crossing. Potato man promptly shat himself, the "refugees" never crossed, and that entire "crisis" evaporated in 2 weeks.
Don't forget how the rest of the EU was chimping out the entire time, not only at Russia for "weaponizing poor innocent migrants", but also at Poland for not letting them in and letting them freeze in the cold rural wastes of Belarus.
Europe will only have a wave of Refugees if it wants one.
The majority of the general population in Europe doesn't want them. The only people that do are the "financial interests" who have the governments in their pocket who want to import them en masse for various reasons; the business leaders who want cheaper scab labour, the left-wing parties want more reliable voter bases (because migrants always vote left), or certain interest groups want to attempt to replace the natives because "the Europeans are the Edomites" or something, for example.
Well, them and the small groups of progressive left-wingers who salivate over anyone who fails the paper bag test.
Wrong, Europe will have a wave of refugees if the Turkroaches want it. They are the ones that control the influx of "refugees" from the Levant to Europe.
The ones controlled by Turkey aren't the issue, the ones ferried by NGOs are the issue. Because they skip the countries that actually have functioning borders (Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, etc) by picking the migrants up from dinghies in the Med, and going straight to France or Spain to dump them off.
No State is under ANY obligation to accept anyone from anywhere. They can just say no, round them up and put them in camps. End of the line, end of the story.
Again, easier said done that done when your governments are bought out by multinational NGOs that hate you. And you can't vote them out because literally every single political party is bought by them.
This will be my last post on this matter since this is deviating way too far from the thread's actual topic, and I don't want to derail it that much.
