Students of European history should not be surprised. The post-WW II calm which has prevailed across the continent is the anomaly, not the other way around. Beyond the desire for various freedoms which drove the settlers to what would become the United States, was a desire to escape the endless cycles of war and bloodshed so commonplace in Europe.

Europe has a very deep history of no-nonsense xenophobia and mass expulsions and slaughter on a scale inconceivable to most Americans. We saw but a foretaste of what is to come in the various "ethnic cleansing" episodes of the 1990s.

Those who assume Europe will quietly become Eurabia are missing the mark. Europe may go (mainly due to demographics), but it will not go quietly.

Excellent post.

True, throughout European history there has been expulsions and mass xenophobia....I have German relatives who were expelled from Czechoslovakia right after WW II....in fact there were 10 million ethnic Germans deported from various European nations after WW II (you hear little discussion about this)

France is rising up to extreme Islam...and we see the rumblings in the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, and other European nations

Yes, the Euros will not go down without a fight

I wonder how many can connect the dots between WWII, and the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood, and its (now official governments) and various jihadi groups around the world?

How many realize that these people REALLY ARE/WERE Nazis, and their progeny that have remained mostly “untouched” after the war? This is a grand chess game, and most people have no clue who the players are, even though they themselves are the pawns on the board. This game has been going on for a very long time, and it’s not going to end any time soon, unfortunately... At least not without a lot of bloodshed, pain, and misery for everyone.

Very true.

And think of this. One of the reasons we stayed in Europe after WWII was to keep everyone from having another go at each other. As our power wanes, they will feel more enabled to go play “Whack you Neighbor”.
