Lined up at Europe’s border: With Poland blocked, human smugglers looking at Finland next
People-Smugglers Now Advertising Russia-Finland Border Route to EU
[Breitbart] The Finnish Security Intelligence Service (SUPO) has confirmed reports that people-smugglers are now advertising crossings from Russia to Finland to migrants colonists, as many abandon attempts to enter the European Union

from Belarus in the face of strong border enforcement by Poland and the Baltic States.

Since the middle of last month people-smugglers have begun advertising the Russia-Finland route into the European Union, according to an intelligence research group who looked at Kurdish and Arabic forums on social media platforms like Facebook that are geared toward migrants colonists looking to enter Western Europe.

"Right now it is very difficult to say whether this will result in a new route for the migrant flows and whether we will see people arriving at the Finnish border, for example. But on social media, the reactions have been very positive," said Monika Richter, the head of research for the group, in comments reported by newspaper Hufvudstadsbladet.

Finland’s intelligence service SUPO has confirmed the increase in marketing online for the Russia-Finland route, with communications director Milla Meretniemi telling Hufvudstadsbladet: "We are aware that this kind of marketing has occurred. As one of the EU’s external border countries, Finland is following the development stage very closely. But we cannot comment on our operational tasks any more than that."

Meretniemi went on to note that the migrant crisis along the border with Belarus was largely directed by the Belarusian government, but said that "Right now we have no reason to assume that Russia would act in the same way at the Finnish border".

The tactic of using migrants colonists to try and destabilise rival states has been dubbed "hybrid warfare" or "hybrid aggression".

Last month, Finland’s Interior Minister Maria Ohisalo said that if the country were to face a surge in migrants colonists similar to the crisis along the border with Belarus, then Finland could close its border with Russia.

Mikko Lehmus, the head of the Situation and Risk Analysis Centre of the Border Guard, stated that closing the border entirely could be difficult, as building a fence or border barrier would not be feasible.

During the migrant crisis of 2015, Finland — with a total population of under six million people — saw tens of thousands arrive in the country.

Teija Tiilikainen, director of the European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats, has stated that the ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, which has a European Union Association Agreement, could play a role in a potential migrant surge into Finland.

"At the moment, it is difficult to comment on whether Russia would like to make bilateral relations with Finland more difficult if it intends to conduct a military operation in Ukraine. But that’s not an impossible thought," Tiilikainen said.

‘F*** Your Mothers, Racist F***s!’ – Migrants Recorded Attacking Polish Border Guards
[Breitbart] The Polish government has released more footage of illegal migrants colonists trying to cross the frontier from Belarus, hurling objects and insults at border guards.

Thousands of mostly Middle Eastern and South Asian migrants colonists have been pressing upon the borders of Poland and the neighbouring Baltic States of Lithuania and Latvia — all members of the European Union

and NATO

— for months, having been allowed into Alexander Lukashenko’s Belarus as tourists with the express purpose of having them head west as migrants colonists to destabilise the EU.

Low-level festivities have continued along the frontier since the last major attempt to force the border was made in mid-November, when hundreds of migrants colonists attacked Polish border guards, coppers, and soldiers including territorial reservists with missiles and even stun grenades and were beaten back with tear gas and water cannon.

Footage of one of the more recent smaller festivities was released by Poland’s Ministry of National Defence on December 9th, and shows migrants colonists who have become aggressive after being caught approaching Polish border fortifications from the Belarusian side under the cover of darkness.

#1 ...Good thing for popcorn futures that the smugglers have never read their history. Otherwise they'd know that the Finns are very, very protective of their territory.
