Here we go again.

The images from the Greek-Turkish border are shocking. Thousands of refugees and migrants crowd in front of rolls of barbed wire. Greek police fire tear gas and do everything possible to prevent them from entering the European Union.

... But Germany in 2020 is not the country it was in 2015. Looking back, Merkel acknowledges there was a "loss of control." The chancellor has since described the open borders that allowed hundreds of thousands of people to pour into the country as a "mistake" that should not be repeated.

Berlin remains firm that the EU's borders are closed.

They'll probably just assimilate into the local populations.

I was talking to a potential seafaring lad the other day and he was telling me that the People of the boat" as I'd call it,you may know it by boatpoeple, are another refugee group in europe who may I quote:

"Excel everywhere"

and

"Consider themselves the west"

Why wouldnt you open up your doors for such greatness Myesyats?

I'm on the same page as Angela Merkel this time. Thats all I'm gonna say, I've matured since last time also wanted to stress I regret some of the stuff I posted back in the day.

Merkel has to say that as her party would be dead if she said anything else. In 2013 CDU got 42 % of the votes. Right now they are polling around 25 - 27 % (tendency sinking) with right-wing AfD at around 15 %. She is on a tight rope when it comes to the topic of migration/refugees.

when i said merkel fucked up last time people shot me down now merkel admits she fucked up.

"Those who seek to test Europe's unity will be disappointed. We will hold the line and our unity will prevail," von der Leyen said, standing alongside Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the chiefs of the European Council and European Parliament.

Von der Leyen said the bloc would provide 700 million euros ($777m), half of it immediately, to help manage the refugee situation.

In addition, the EU border agency Frontex will deploy a rapid intervention team including an additional 100 guards backed by coastal patrol vessels, helicopters and vehicles, she said.

"Our first priority is making sure that order is maintained at the Greek external border, which is also the European border," von der Leyen told journalists.

I am under siege!!!

Hi. sorry for bad english

They're intentionally herded towards the Polish border by the Belarus authorities because the EU called the recent election there fraudulent - fucking cynical, and depressing.

Dude look at this. They're literally pushing them over the fence. It's heartbreaking

Ok, this is the most disturbing border video I’ve seen so far. Lukashenko’s armed thugs dressed like ISIS militants are quite literally pushing women and children over the Polish border fence and forming a human shield to prevent them from returning to Belarus. Please RT! pic.twitter.com/WzvpLmHzhz

After air-pirating that RyanAir flight and the fake election now this - the EU must find a forceful answer to Belarus.
And also, we must help Poland with this. It can't be that after the Syrian refugee crisis we haven't learned.

Honestly, that's one aspect where I've always been ashamed of the way Germany has acted in international politics. All the while Merkel was virtue-signaling the Syrians that 'refugees are welcome' here, Germany has pushed the narrative for decades that refugees, asylum seekers and migrants are the "problem" of the country they first step in when they enter EU soil - knowing full well that Germany has no non-European border except with fucking Switzerland.

If anything needs a unified European response, it is helping those refugees, helping Poland with managing the refugees, protecting the Polish border from Belarus aggression, and punishing Belarus (well, their leadership).
Probably just gonna do some big nothings instead, though.

I guess Lukashenko isn’t going to get Ceausescu’d then

Yeah you really don't want praise from Bild, as a general rule.

Axel Springer publishing house who publish Bild of course also publish Fakt..

the students in 68 knew what they were doing when they were chanting "Enteignet Springer"

Isnt bild like the most popular newspaper in europe though, as in they get the biggest reader % share? I don't care about the praise btw, just found it funny that Germans are praising Poles for defending their borders which is historically very sus

What is this fool thinking? seen too many pictures of stupid little 16 year old blue eyed girls holding “Flüchtlinge WelCUMinsideMe” signs or something?

we don't want poland we want to netflix and chill with @Hans (rough translation of what they're shouting)

herzlich wilkommen!!!!

Great helicopter footage to get the full context of what's going on in Kuznica-Bruzgi. One can see a large crowd at the checkpoint, smaller groups burning fires next to them, Belarusian military vehicles parked behind, and a massive abandoned camp a little further away. pic.twitter.com/1Rew4Y8nmJ

Interesting article about this belarus-poland situation. Could be a lot bigger than just migrants

You know it's never black and white when Putin is involved. The article is behind a paywall though


I expect Vladimir to do some shit in Ukraine again and this is just a smokescreen

Look for the bypass paywalls extension on github and forget about paywalls forever

Or just create a login, I think it's just a login-wall

I agree, climate change  will cause migration for sure

But this is not the case here. These people have been misled and purposefully brought here to be used as a political tool. They were told they'd get to Germany easily but they were never gonna. Belarusians are basically toying with them, with the intent to destabilize the region and EU/NATO border

Polish MoD claims that the migrants got stun grenades from the Belarusian services in order to throw them at Polish officers. pic.twitter.com/gEn1kugwL8
