PICTURES: Greek Border in Flames as Migrants Keep Trying to Break Through
Breitbart ^ | March 7th, 2020 | Jack Montgomery

Dramatic pictures and video are emerging of fires raging along the border between Greece and Turkey, as migrants — aided and even armed by the Turks, according to the Greeks — continue their efforts to force their way in.

The European Union, including the United Kingdom, funnelled billions of euros to the Islamist government in Ankara in an effort to persuade it to bring the migrant crisis under a modicum of control after hundreds of thousands of illegal border crossings, often by sea, in 2015-16.

That deal unravelled at the end of February 2020, as Turkish president Reep Tayyip Erdogan announced migrants were free to pass through his country and into Europe, seemingly as punishment for the West’s failure to offer sufficient support to his invasion of Syria, which has become fraught with danger as his forces clash with the Russian-backed Syrian government in Idlib province.

Sure, go ahead, pay tributes to the Barbary Pirates.

The only way to put a stop to this is to start killing the so-called refugees, wholesale, as the hostile invaders that they are.

It’s only a matter of time before Turkey deploys tanks to punch a hole through the border.

Already they are arming the “refugees” and encouraging them to punch through themselves, while offering food and temporary shelter on the Turk side of the border.

Turkey is already at war with the EU.

“Those euro-weenies have already surrendered. “

Britain has already cut their losses and did a Brexit.

Mainland Europe is incapable of meeting this challenge under their current regimes.

Since these men are fighting their way through, they are invaders. Not “migrants”

"Migrants". Et tu, Breitbart?.

This is an invasion, pure and simple. No different than previous episodes in European history. The only question is will Europe succumb this time?

Easier to keep them out than to try to remove them once they’re dug in.

Probably easier than trying to build a wall. Too much coastline for a viable barricade.

Maybe Greece ought to officially call on NATO for help and, in the process, expel Turkey who never should have been brought into NATO

The problem here is Erdogan and his fairy tale religion.

In light of the Turkish-sponsored invasion of Europe, why are we backing the Turks in Syria? Was there another phony, false flag gas attack by Syria?

Breaking in rather than asking to come in?

Not migrants, illegal aliens.

Let some other country do it, is the attitude.

You must put it down as an invasion or lose your country.
