The bailed-out Greeks are still broke. Now their islands are flooded with a horde of migrants from the Middle East and Africa.
Spain, Portugal and Italy are almost in the same boat. Their shared Mediterranean traditions -- and vulnerabilities -- are far different from those of northern Europe's more affluent nations.
Given the triad of history, geography and culture, it is no accident that Europe on the Mediterranean is being hit first by Third World immigration heading northward. Southern Europe always seems to owe money to the north.
Eastern Europeans are angry that the EU tries to override their own individual immigration laws. Nearly a million immigrants, most of them young male Muslims, now flock to the borders of Eastern European countries. From the Baltic states to the former Yugoslavia, these nations for 500 years were caught in the meat grinder when East fought West in Eastern Europe, the battered sea wall against which the tsunami of the Islamic Ottoman Empire finally crashed and receded.
The British always counted on the English Channel to separate them from the passions of their mainland European cousins -- namely France and Germany. Now, migrants hop bullet trains under the channel to reach the promised land of British entitlements -- as the United Kingdom tries to back away from the European Union.

A local radio host (who speaks German and Russian) has reported that we are going to let German planes carry American nukes in the event of a war in Europe.
That is not going to play well with the Russians. Or the French for that matter.
One of the reason things are so quiet in Europe is the Germans remember what happened the last time they lost a war, and how many of the East Germans have Russian blood. As that generation passes away, they may forget the lessen learned in 1945.
“As a result of the continent-wide chaos, millions of Europeans are now furious with the European Union. Its inflexible euro and vast bureaucracy seem not just to override but often destroy local customs and traditions.”
Town government makes bad decision, ruins town, you can move to a new town
State government makes bad decision, ruins state, you can move to a new state.
Country government makes bad decision, ruins country, you can move to a new country
World government makes bad decision, ruins world, you can....?
In a nutshell, this is why power should be kept locally with a weaker centralized government(s). It gets progressively more difficult to move away from a government making mistakes (or overreaching etc..) the larger the government gets.
Ahhhhhh.....those Europeans.
They didn’t want us to have a cowboy President.
Now, they have a stampede on their hands.
Maybe they can get a community organizer to turn the stampede. He can talk the stampede into turning.
Hahahahahahaha!
Git along little doggies.
The european union had as its goal the elimination of the various countries. They would no longer exist, but would become mere “states” in a larger “country.”
They created the unique currency. They destroyed borders. They pass laws that attempt to erase local culture.
With the arrival of millions of savages, the final phase in the destruction of national identity has begun.
VDH ping ...
Just wait till they start tearing down all the old Greek buildings. No more income from tourists. Nothing left but flat land and garbage.
