Migration crisis in Europe - where is it headed?

[oldrider]

The problem with the Middle East is that it run along the lines of Medieval Europe but with modern tools. If they could get over their tribalism and different factions of Invisible Friend it might work. Probably have to wait another 500 years or so for that.
Germany was once tribal back in Roman times, then had years and years of religious wars, then lots of different States until Bismark unified it.They really got the industrial revolution sorted, made a few poor choices regarding treaties and leaders but seem to be on the right track now.
Does not happen overnight.

Don't think Germany will ever be powerful again - it will suffer destabilisation like never before - Time will tell. - Probably all of Europe now!

Edit: Nothing wrong with the refugees personally - their expectations are high and when it doesn't turn out they feel cheated and trapped!

The disappointment ferments - it all comes out in later generations as they still don't feel they belong - can't go "home" - kaboom - the shit hits the fan!

As the British Muslims want to go to Syria to fight with ISIS, and the Syrians want to go to Europe, why don't they just house swap?

I suppose we should acquaint ourselves with that - seems to be coming very popular around the world - reminds me of when I was at sea! (early 1960's)

We took a shipment of frozen peas etc to the UK and brought one of theirs back - what do they say - ships that pass in the night!

The countries that sell the most weapons should take in the most refugees.

They could stop selling the weapons

but what would the workers and shareholders and the suppliers of materials and tooling and so forth do? Its like everybody has a finger in this.

Must be hard surviving as a Real Estate Agent in Auckland whilst refusing to take commissions from sales to migrants. Yeah, right.

Probably easier than selling Quasi motorcycle gear.

Looks like the welcome wheels are starting to fall off in the countries that the refugees are invading - tragic as it is - this is not going to improve world harmony!

The notion that this worldly direction is controlled and coordinated by unseen powers may be difficult to prove or disprove but is compelling in it's origin!
