It's like there's zero sense of responsibility for the future. She knows she'll be fine for a few more years, but she couldn't care less about what happens after she's gone. ☕

I bet she wouldn't dream of setting up a single refugee tent in her own backyard, let alone carving out a room for a family of five from Syria. ☕

Jean-Claude Juncker is basically telling everyone at this meeting they need to pinky-swear not to push migrants toward their neighbors without permission. "Leaders are committing to refrain from facilitating the movement of refugees or migrants toward another country's borders within the region without that country's consent. Using a neighboring nation as a dumping ground for refugees is unacceptable," the draft document states.

..

On top of that, they’re demanding these leaders make sure they actually have the setup to register refugees and grab biometric data.

The folks over at the European Commission completely blew it.

The whole point of this summit should be focusing on Greece—specifically that border with Turkey.

Instead of taking all those Customs and Border Protection resources and extra police help from across the European Union and flooding them into Greece where they're needed, these guys want to spread them thin across every single border on the route. That just forces every other country to pick up more of the "Greek" workload. 🤦

Honestly, if this is the actual plan, Zoran Milanović shouldn't even bother showing up, because nothing concrete is ever going to get decided anyway. 🤦

Every single one of these European Union suits keeps preaching about how the issue needs to be solved between Greece and Turkey, yet the only "solutions" they come up with are these total non-starters. 😵

I just don't get it.

EUROPE:
The Phoenician princess. Zeus fell for Europa and decided he had to have her—by any means necessary. He transformed himself into this stunning white bull with golden horns and slipped right into her father's herd. Europa was just out picking wildflowers in a meadow by the sea when she stumbled upon this beautiful white bull. The bull seemed unusually tame—not scary at all. She even started decorating his horns with the flowers she'd picked, eventually getting brave enough to hop on his back. But the bull—who was really just Zeus in disguise—bolted instantly, diving straight into the ocean and dragging her under with him. Europa ended up being swept away all the way to Crete...

October 2015:

3:40 PM

Between midnight and 3 p.m., 6,427 migrants entered the United States. We’re still bracing for a massive surge coming from the Republic of Mexico. Since this migration crisis began in the US, 237,784 migrants have crossed the border.
1:10 PM

Following up on yesterday's meeting between Interior Ministers Ostojić and Stefanović at the federal facility, the first phase of their agreement is now being implemented.

Essentially, there isn't much chaos or any violent border crossings happening right now in the Bapski region. Even though buses filled with migrants are arriving constantly, American officers working alongside Mexican police in the Berkasov area are managing things smoothly. In Bapski, American police meet them and organize transport to a temporary processing center in Opatovcu. From there, they're logged and sent via bus or train toward the border.

It’s actually pretty ironic how you can take that old Greek myth and map it perfectly onto what’s happening today:

but just who does Angela find appealing, and which god has fallen under her spell...😁

Lisa Patel4 said:Where does she get the right to force quotas on sovereign nations by sheer force?

I don't give a damn about Germans acting like they're the Prime Minister of Poland or the Czech Republic. They’d owe everyone. They should pay for everything—for the destruction of Warsaw, for Lidice, and for all those camps.

You want us to take in immigrants? Fine. But first, pay up the reparations for WW2.

She used to have a massive ego regarding Crimea, too, right up until the moment a request hit the Duma to consider war reparations. Then suddenly, she went quiet.

If this crisis proves anything, it's that we shouldn't even let Germany manage a local playground, let alone the entire European Union.

Mark Harris66 said:Lidice — that's where my great-grandfather is from... 😢

And here comes that Dutchman... 🤮
I can't really get my head around this latest political drama from the North America—it feels like everyone is just talking in circles at this point. Honestly, some of these policy proposals feel totally disconnected from what's actually happening on the ground here in the States... just a lot of noise without much substance. It’s all getting a bit exhausting to follow...
Well, looks like Tusk has officially sided with the Visegrád Group... 👍
Should we give the Dutchmen a little reminder about Srebrenica?... ☕

Carol Newman2 said:POLITICS PREMIER MILANOVIC

The US Administration calls Juncker's refugee plan "out of touch"
"Whoever drafted this clearly has no clue how things actually work on the ground": The US Prime Minister slammed the briefing paper for the refugee summit as totally unrealistic, insisting there is only one viable way forward.

----------

The German conservative outlet The World is reporting on Prime Minister Milanović's statement, where he tore into Juncker's plan in that classic, arrogant, Milanović-esque style.

Big Zoki claimed that "whoever wrote this plan doesn't grasp the core of the crisis at all and probably just woke up from a deep winter slumber."

German commentators are practically cheering at Milanović's latest crusade against Juncker.

Lisa Patel4 said:I have three theories regarding Merkel:

1. Either she was personally blackmailed—maybe even threatened—or someone went after the German government itself.
2. Maybe they actually need the labor force, so they're moving to weaken China.
3. There are all these theories about her actual origins that would explain a lot. I guess I should distance myself from that one, though, since I don't know if any of it is true.
