They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Angela Merkel just keeps coming up with one bad idea after another. I would say the definition of insanity is the phenomenon of some who continue to rely on the judgements of a skipper who is about to sink the whole ship.
Merkel now wants to take in more refugees (300-500,000 per year!) directly from the Middle East camps, specifically in Turkey. But if Angela hasn't noticed, the EU is already overloaded with at least 800,000 there now and another 700,000 or so expected soon. Who knows what Merkel is thinking, I don't think she even knows.
Merkel believes her new ally, Turkey, will then shut off the wave of refugees they are now allowing to cross into Europe. Turkey will do no such thing and is estimated to be the home of over 25,000 smugglers. Nor is Merkel and her allies at the EU serious about sealing the external borders, deporting those migrants who do not belong, or dismantling the criminal networks of smugglers.
Merkel is serving up this window dressing for one purpose only: She is obsessed with "visions of grandeur" and wants to force Eastern Europe to accept refugee quotas. As I have said before, Merkel is all about "redistribution quotas" and has no plans to curtail this wave. It was not the Visegrad4 or Czech republic that lured the migrants to their countries with such rhetoric as "no limits" or "we can do it". Viktor Orban of Hungary correctly warned her from the start that Germany was speaking for themselves.
Merkel and her sidekick, Jean-Claude Juncker, are now dangling EU membership and billions to Turkey to save Europe. This ranks right up there with the US relying on the mythical "moderate rebels" to save Syria. Turkey is a pure Islamic state that suppresses its citizens. Erdogan turns a
blind eye to extremists who cross into Syria and smugglers who take the refugees to Europe. Saudi Arabia and Turkey were the primary sources that destabilized Syria and enabled ISIS with their support of various Islamic rebels.
Turkey "the great hope" to save Europe gives new meaning to the definition of insanity.
Let's face it, Western Europe and Merkel have different values than the Visegrad4 and Eastern Europe. As Viktor Orban of Hungary has pointed out if Germany, France, etc.want to continue with their failed multicultural experiments, this is their choice and we wish them luck. However, Germany should not force their "moral imperialism" on others who wish to decide for themselves the makeup of their country.
Why not a mutual split. The V4 and other like-minded nations could form their own Union outside the EU? There does not have to be animosity. The free flow of goods could still occur without the bitter resentment of refugee diktats. Britain should be exiting soon as well. One can have vigorous free trade without a union or moral lectures from EUCO.
Which leads me to my last definition of insanity: if the Visegrad4 and others allow Merkel and some EU super-majority voting scheme to bully them into accepting a binding and permanent refugee resettlement plan against their wishes. I don't think this will happen with Slovakia, Hungary or the new Poland; they are tough, strong. However, Sobotka of Czech republic is a question mark and seems somewhat feeble. Does he have the courage to stand down Merkel? We will see soon because she is coming.
Good luck, fight hard, and good night!
