Merkel Warns of Balkans Fighting amid Migrant Influx
2015-11-04
[AnNahar] German Chancellor Angela Merkel
...current chancellor of Germany. She was educated in East Germany when is was still run by commies, but in 1989 got involved with the growing democracy movement when the Berlin Wall fell. Merkel is sometimes referred to by Germans as Mom...
warned that fighting could break out in the Balkans, along the main route of migrants trying to reach Europe, if Germany closed its border with Austria, in remarks published Tuesday.

Amid ever-louder calls for Merkel to undertake drastic action to stem the tide of people entering her country, she again rejected the appeals, noting that tensions were already running high between the Western Balkans countries.

With an eye to deep rifts exposed after Hungary closed its frontier with Serbia and Croatia, Merkel said blocking the border with Austria to refugees and migrants would be reckless.

"It will lead to a backlash," Merkel was quoted in media reports as saying late Monday in an address to members of her conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in the western city of Darmstadt.

"I do not want military conflicts to become necessary there again," Merkel added, referring to the Balkans.
The lady arranges the destruction of an entire continent from the noblest of motives.
She said disputes in a region already ravaged by war in the 1990s could quickly escalate, touching off a cycle of violence "no one wants".

#9  Better look to home first ...

* ZERO HEDGE > MUSLIM MAN TELLS GERMAN: "WE WILL MARRY YOUR DAUGHTERS AND CONQUER YOU WID BIRTHS" [high Muslim domestic birth rates].

* IIRC DRUDGEREPORT > 2016 US PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BOBBIE JINDAL: "IMMMIGRATION WIDOUT ASIMILATION" IS INVASION.

Non-Military to be sure, BUT STILL "INVASION" = CREEPING/BENIGN TAKEOVER OF THE HOST NATION-SOCIETY NONETHELESS.

EYES WIDE OPEN, NOT EYES WIDE SHUT.

MARXIST-SOCIALIST US-GLOBAL ORDER, N-O-T PERSONAL OR NATIONAL SECURITY, ETC. + RELATED.

PROB FOR THE ANTI-US OWG GLOBIES + SECULAR COMMIES, ETAL. ALIGNED IS THAT ITS N-O-T CLEAR OR CONCLUSIVE THAT THEIR -ISM WILL DE FACTO CONTROL OR DEFEAT RADICAL ISLAM'S THEO-SOCIALISM WHEN ALL IS SAID-N-DONE.

Hanging out with the French will do that to you.

#4  How about you block the Balkan borders that the invasion is crossing first? Aussies have had good luck with that approach.
