I explained what they’re doing, but I suppose it wasn’t clear enough, so sorry about that. I hope you at least noticed that the leadership is not panicked at all by what’s going on down at street level; this is not ignorance, but rule by crisis.
The “crisis” is a means to an end. They want to be out from under the USA’s thumb so they can become the USA’s enemy again. It’d only take the USA leaving for the “migrants” to suddenly be squashed, most likely under a change of leadership. The 2008 financial debacle that the EU provoked did not get them the big power grab that they wanted, so this is Plan B.
I thought the 2008 debacle was triggered by mortgage derivatives speculation, encouraged by US brokerage houses such as Bear Stearns, Lehman, and Merrill Lynch. My view is informed by books such as "The Sellout" (Charles Gasparino, and "The Big Short" (Michael Lewis), among others. The Europeans certainly participated, but the creation of these dodgy instruments was mostly a US innovation, encouraged by foolish government rules on housing (such as the Community Reinvestment Act).
Whatever the reason, if our getting out of European matters also leads them to clean house on their Muslim infection, I'd view it as a positive. We can kiss and make up later... or not.
