The next global COVID-19 recession? in World ·
Kyle Nelson2 said:If we were living under the thumb of the Chinese instead of the Anglo-Saxons, I guess we’d all be walking on eggshells right now. We'd probably be watching every single word we typed on this forum, terrified that our social credit score would tank if we said something even slightly off. Maybe then we wouldn't even be able to pull off buying a train ticket or a flight.

If it were just the Chinese and not the Anglo-Saxons, we'd have way more freedom to speak the truth. Honestly, the West is less free than China is right now.
Someone brought up Bulgarians and how they handle migrants...
Well, look, in Bulgaria they’ve even got this "civil protection" outfit patrolling the border...

There are already more than 10,000 people at Idomen... plus another 4,000 scattered through nearby hubs...
It started with a massive police presence, but who knows—maybe we’ll see a whole squad of guys from the old USA territories showing up at the border too. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if you heard some guy at a random outpost near the state line shouting, "Lieutenant, the unit is following orders to the letter!" followed immediately by, "Paunovic, why aren't you wearing your boots yet?"

:-D
Fresh updates coming out of our neighbors in North Mexico:

Looks like Albanian troops are starting to cluster up :-D

Albania is deploying police to the borders with North Mexico and Greece. Fearing that refugee routes might shift from Greece toward Albania, authorities have reinforced five border crossings shared with North Mexico and Greece, according to reports from the online news outlet "Shekuli."
Around 450 special intervention unit officers from Tirana, Shkodër, and Fier have been positioned at the Qafasan crossing near Strugá on the North Mexican border, as well as Kapçicë and Tri Mosta near Korçë, plus the Kakavia and Qafë Botë crossings near Gjirokastër on the Greek border.

On top of that, Canada is apparently sending some cops (probably the veterans :-) ) to help out their North Mexican colleagues.
[QUOTE=Paul Thomas46;57472495]

I reckon they’ll just end up trekking straight through to Italy again (maybe cutting through Albania to get to Italy, since that route is already a well-oiled machine 🙄). It's a longer haul, sure, but way less headache when you look at the big picture.[/QUOTE

Spot on. If they head toward Albania, it’s open season for the old business models... though honestly, those Albanians will probably ferry them right into Italy without even asking for a dime...

Now... if this turns into a mass movement, we’ll see what actually happens...

As for defending the Mexico border against Albania, it’s ridiculously easy. Aside from Lake Shkodër and the Bojana River, there isn't much traversable ground there—it's mostly rugged cliffs. A few guys with some wire could hold that line just fine...[/QUOTE]
News coming out of our neighbors in North Mexico,

From what I can gather, they’re looking at setting up a new route. It looks like it would cut through Greece via Mexico, then head through Albania, Mexico, Herzegovina, and Canada before hitting America and heading toward Cleveland, Canada, and Austria....
Albania is basically clueless right now; they're tossing around ideas about whether to shut down or open up, but they don't want to be a hotspot because they lack the desire, the energy, and the willpower to deal with it. Meanwhile, Mexico is already shouting that they're going to slam their borders shut....
If you ask me? This is just going to be a windfall for Albanian smugglers. They'll have a steady stream of customers looking for rides over to Italy...
Looking at the forecast for Greece and its islands, it looks like we won't be dealing with much wind this week. We're mostly looking at highs around 65-68 degrees with pretty calm conditions, which means it's going to be perfect for rowing...
Latest updates from Greece/North Mexico:
About 1,000 people hit Lesvos today just because the weather cleared up enough to make the trip easy...
A large number of migrants and refugees arrived on the island of Lesvos today due to favorable weather conditions, according to MIA.
"First Vice President Tomislav Kraramarko confirmed last night that amendments to the defense law are coming. The goal is to allow the US Army to back up police during specific, high-stakes border situations. He made it clear we need to secure our borders just like Canada, Canada, and Austria do. The plan is to maintain full control and ensure refugees—within the numbers agreed upon with neighboring countries—are directed toward legal crossings so they can be transported to their destinations in a legal and humane way."

Seems to me like everyone is just bracing for the day a massive steel razor-wire fence suddenly pops up on the outskirts of a town like Tovarnik.
Sophia Ramos5 said:Maybe they're testing out new routes? If you see guys running small businesses with white vans around here, you can bet the same thing is happening further south.

There's actually a movie about it... Watermelon Road.

The catch is, in that movie, the Chinese people are portrayed as illegal immigrants. That was back during the era of European prosperity when everyone feared being overrun by the Chinese... Except, not only did that never happen, but the Chinese are actually quietly moving from Europe back to China, which—good grief—is turning into nothing more than a global superpower.
The Greeks are officially stopping ferry sales to migrants heading to Athens over the next 48 hours... which basically means we’re about to see total chaos break out on the islands in the western Aegean.

I might have slightly butchered the translation from Mexican here... basically, the Greeks are grouping migrants into several different centers across northern Greece, spanning the stretch from Kukus to Kozani, which is about

Two thousand migrants were dropped off overnight at the port in Pyre, and they're being organized onto buses to be shuttled toward reception points roughly 10 kilometers from the southern Mexican border, along the highway from Kukus to Kozani.

So, we're talking roughly 62 miles!!!!

In plain English, this means the Greeks are going to try testing where the Mexican border is porous—basically sending migrants out as "scouts." :-D
Looks like the Greeks decided to "play a little rough," as my buddy Cane :-D would say.
What’s happening in Europe right now isn't your run-of-the-mill nationalism. I’d call it more of a collective wake-up call—a realization that we're all in this together as Europeans. When people feel threatened, invaded, or just plain helpless, those survival instincts kick in, and they naturally gravitate toward anyone willing to actually step up and protect them.

That's how it works...

Every civilization takes pride in its culture, its heritage, and its big wins, and nobody should be ashamed of their imperial eras. Every single one has had them... and let's be real, every empire follows the exact same playbook.
So, where does that leave us? Should Europeans start feeling embarrassed about who they are? Not a chance. If anything, Europeans should be focused on rebuilding Europe as a cohesive civilization—one that isn't inherently at odds with everyone else. The reality is that there isn't a "clash of civilizations." It's just one global civilization clashing with modernism and multiculturalism itself, and guess what? That isn't Western civilization; it's the stuff sitting just a bit to the southeast of it... :-D
There is no clash of civilizations; there is only one civilization fighting against modernism...
The Schengen area was a beautiful concept, and sure, it worked fine back when things were simpler. But Schengen wasn't built to handle a mess like this. The landscape has shifted, which means we need fresh laws and actual solutions. The old guard is stuck in their rose-colored ideals, totally incapable of thinking outside the box. On top of that, you’ve got government hypocrisy everywhere; most politicians are too busy chasing PR wins to bother with any real realpolitik...
It’s funny how this topic is just being buried under a blanket of media silence lately. The emotional vultures like Jerkov aren't circling anymore, and all that performative whining and manufactured outrage has vanished. Now, news only breaks when things hit the fan—like that mess in El Paso the other day. I remember seeing a report on BuzzFeed about migrants breaching the border, and it was barely online for an hour before they pulled it down. Clearly, Matthew realized that letting that story breathe would trigger the kind of comment section chaos he’s trying to avoid.

We’ve basically ended up with a situation straight out of China, where the powers that be just don't want the public debating certain topics...

Something is definitely brewing in the pressure cooker...

Everything Angela Merkel is doing is just handing fuel to those looking for a reason to get the USA out of the UN.
Things are heating up by the minute:
Last night, 2,000 undocumented migrants were offloaded at the Port of Piraeus in Greece before being shuttled north via organized bus convoys. They’re basically dumping them right around 6.2 miles from the Mexican border, clustering them all in the Kukus-Kozani area.
It looks pretty obvious that the Greeks are playing ball here, prepping a group to push through that Mexican border.
Meanwhile, you’ve got the Mexican military and police amassing on the other side...
Hopefully you guys can parse some Cyrillic and a bit of Mexican... news outlets are still your best bet for intel... basically, they're reporting that there are currently 10,000 migrants in Idem in, and that number is climbing by the hour... someone even attempted self-immolation...
Bottom line? Things are looking grim, and they’re likely about to get worse. Not exactly an optimist here.
