Merkel continues to publicly defend her "open border" immigration policies despite continued erosion of her popularity amid rising nationalist sentiments in Germany and across the EU. Meanwhile, Germany is preparing to deploy troops within its borders for the first time since World War II amid growing fears that the potential for a large-scale terrorist attack is "conceivable, even probable," at least according to Lt. Gen. Martin Schelleis.
Concerns of a potential threat come as nearly 30,000 asylum seekers continue to flood the country each month from Syria alone (see chart below). Overall, Germany took in about 2.1 million immigrants last year and over half of them were refugees.
Plans to utilize soldiers for counter-terrorism efforts within domestic borders is a very controversial concept for a country only seven decades removed from totalitarian rule. Such efforts weren't even allowed until a court decision in 2012 which expanded Article 35 of the German constitution to allow armed forces to be deployed within domestic borders but only in response to a terrorist attack of "catastrophic proportions."
I know General Schelleis. He dies not suffer foolishness.
May I remind all the Deutschlanders about the fable "The Scorpion and the Frog". You can thank Frau Merkel when it plays out.
Merkel is destroying Germany... she’s turning it into a hellhole for everyday German citizens so the ‘elites’ can have EVEN MORE... Effing lowlife money grubbers are running the world.
They’re people - - not savages. BUT they are people who are culturally incompatible with Westerners (in large numbers)... and they belong in their own countries.
Merkel’s not doing this out of the kindness of her heart - she’s bringing in second class citizens to exploit. The same our ‘liberal elites’ are doing with poor Mexicans... they want them to use them and use them badly.
Unfort., the destruction of life, property, etc. will NEVER effect Merkel herself.
Their ivory walls and towers are ALWAYS manned to the teeth. The rabble outside....
