It is the NGO complex, significantly funded and supported by George Soros and Jewish interests<br /><br />Greece's citizens are driving this situation, the Greek government feeling the tide and hesitant to stand in the way now that Greek citizen anger is rising<br /><br />Greece's government has filed with the EU that it finds it necessary to suspend 'normal' asylum etc procedures<br /><br />Brussels is a bit stunned, as the sentiment of EU citizens is much less pliable than in 2015 when 'Merkel's millions' began arriving, and more and more EU governments have harsh words on migration, given Erdogan's open threatening on this issue<br /><br />This is likely a major turning pointBrabantiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003998945645458544.post-69815704900271113342020-03-02T08:17:15.911-08:002020-03-02T08:17:15.911-08:00Gordon Duff of Veterans Today says that Putin seem...Gordon Duff of Veterans Today says that Putin seems to be selling out to Israel, allowing them and Turkey and Nato to kill lots of Syrians and continue the process of mauling that country<br /><br />https://www.veteranstoday.com/2020/03/01/intel-drop-erdogans-kosher-express-kills-2200-syrian-troops-destroys-100-tanks-and-humiliates-putin/<br /><br />The war-making in Syria is horrid and wrong ... but at the same time one can reasonably have a lot of hesitations about supporting Iran and Assad too much<br /><br />Iran is quite a cruel country with some horrid satanic practices, stoning women to death, the amputations, floggings and slow-torture hangings<br /><br />Assad's popularity is understandable in much of Syria ... but one can doubt if it is really ethical to support 'keeping Syria intact', when Syria is a colonialist creation of Britain and France drawing on the map<br /><br />One can sympathise with the Kurds, deserving autonomy in Syria and also in Iran, Turkey, and Iraq<br /><br />And a lot of eastern Syria is quite conservative religious Sunnis, quite a different culture than the secular mix along the coast in the big cities ... not clear why the conservative Sunnis in Iraq and Syria shouldn't realistically have their own country, given the common culture, religion, language<br /><br />But maybe a lot of the world would be better off if various aggrieved minority regions got their independence<br /><br />Chechnya out of Russia<br />Donbass out of Ukraine<br />Catalonia out of Spain<br />Scotland out of the UK<br />Tibet and Xinjiang out of China<br /><br />Belgium and Canada are suprisingly both having rapid acceleration toward splitting up, tho for decades this was a 'just talk, won't happen' theme<br /><br />2020s may be quite the decadeBrabantiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003998945645458544.post-19900710707122507622020-03-01T10:21:17.340-08:002020-03-01T10:21:17.340-08:00https://www.rt.com/op-ed/481944-nato-turkey-idlib-...https://www.rt.com/op-ed/481944-nato-turkey-idlib-syria/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
