There's never a bad time to invade mainland Europe. Someone's been doing it since basically forever.

Germany is not really Ameriphobe (?) though. We do have a fairly large chunk of population with that sort of bias, but the People Who Matter are all firm transatlantics.

I just realized something.

The perfect solution to this problem.

We just need to give Trump to you guys.

If Europe is being terrorized by progressives, and America is being terrorized by even the idea of Trump getting to be president and having access to nuclear weapons (no really I want you to think about that man being in command of the US nuclear arsenal, that should scare everyone, American or not), and yet he's been disturbingly difficult to stop, much like the immigration problem, we just need to smash the one into the other. His platform is basically already purpose-built for handling the situation.

I burst out laughing when I read this post.

Yes.

Do it.

Yeah, because every problem with the immigration crisis just boils down to racism, right?

No thanks.

I was confused as to where scriver's accusation of accusing someone(I think?) of racism came from. Still am.

Trump is racist, so him being the answer to Europe's problems is because they are racists who just want to get rid of the "blacks".

That's how I contexted/interpreted rpgeek's post.

I'm pretty sure it was in reference to Trump's giant border wall idea. Something running completely counter to what our toleran an progresiv friends would ever want.

Yes, let us build a wall under the Mediterranean and block of the sea access - it will surely make a difference!

On a serious note, EU sucks as a border control force. Let each state worry about its own borders, to the full extent of the law and beyond, if that's what it takes to protect order in the country. Schengen failed and unless someone comes up with a good replacement, EU shot itself in the foot by destroying one of its own pillars through ineffective handing of the situation.

I wouldn't really mind national borders being reinstated. But I have been arguing for that long before there was a refugee crisis. Schengen has made Europe a paradise for illegal trafficking of just about anything, from guns and explosives, and drugs, to child sex slaves. Organised crime has never been as easy and profitable. I daresay that reinstating border checks would seriously damage IS's economy, by bankrupting criminal rings that support them.

Shit use of resources, didn't stop the allies, what does stop boats are naval patrols which we already did, then the EU went full retard and disabled everything, then when things went to shit said we need naval patrols... Under the EU flag. At any rate you use fences and walls for the land, and most people ignore the whole element of guarding the borders within Africa and Asia. How funny would it be if Libyan jihadists on their way to Nigeria or Central Africa hit a Trumptm wall and had to pay for it? I suppose in this case it'd probably be more of a good luck Ebele wall or something.

On a serious note, EU sucks as a border control force. Let each state worry about its own borders, to the full extent of the law and beyond, if that's what it takes to protect order in the country.
It would be funny to see something like the Italian temporary administration intercepting every single boat they could and bringing them all to Italy to fuck Germany and Sweden over doubly instead fucking themselves over doubly when they can't wander off north. Still sucks for the Italians though, they didn't even vote for that government hahahaha

Though to be fair the ones they vote for are hardly corruption-free paragons of public service either, you lose or you lose the ruse is too loose

Schengen failed and unless someone comes up with a good replacement, EU shot itself in the foot by destroying one of its own pillars through ineffective handing of the situation.
National democracy sounds like a pretty good replacement here.
