Turkey’s Economic Collapse Could Send ‘Millions’ of Migrants into Europe, Analysts Warn
Breitbart ^ | August 17, 2018 | Jack Montgomery

Millions of people could pour into the European Union from Turkey in “another wave of migration” if the country’s economic crisis escalates into a full-blown collapse, some observers have claimed.

Mainstream media periodical Newsweek suggests such a scenario “could have major political consequences” for globalist leaders such as Germany’s Angela Merkel, who effectively opened the EU’s borders unilaterally in 2015 but has been under pressure since the onset of the subsequent migrant crisis and a historically poor performance in the 2017 federal elections.

Turkey’s foreign policy is becoming increasingly erratic Islamist leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who has eroded the secular order imposed by the country’s modern founder Kemal Atatürk, greatly increased his personal power, and purged some 106,000 public officials, 21,000 teachers, and 4,400 judges and prosecutors since mid-2016, according to monitors.

You know, Europe has the option to refuse to accept them.

Maybe European countries should consider colonizing out of control countries, killing their leaders and converting them to Christianity.

It would ultimately be a wise act and free millions from the islamic mafia, which is what it really is.

Most Muslims are actually very nice people, but they can't go against their mob bosses.

They face death. What would you do?

Instead of tariffs, just boot Turkey from NATO. With an Islamist leader in place, Turkey could be a credible security threat to the rest of NATO and the US.

I prefer Israel effectively do the same thing in the M.E., by expanding their borders to the territory occupied by King David. That would liberate a lot of Moslem-oppressed lands. If that makes me a war-mongering Christian Zionist, so be it.

I doubt very much this is all about refusing to release a Pastor.

Plenty of Christian persecution around the world and the U.S. doesn’t lift a finger, so there’s got to be much, much more to the story.

Remember the CIA motto: nothing is as it appears to be.

“ALL OF THIS OVER REFUSING TO RELEASE AN INNOCENT PASTOR FROM JAIL?”

Well, no. Like anything occurring between nations there have to be lots of reasons that add up to an action like this. To pick a few probable reasons, Turkey is engaging in ethnic cleansing of the areas adjoining its border with Syria in an attempt to install a Turkman majority. They have supported ISIS by allowing fighters to receive medical treatment in Turkey before returning them to the battle. Turkey has been buying oil from ISIS. The national interests of Turkey and the rest of the world involving the Kurds are diametrically opposed. Collapsing the Lira will lead to regime change. The minister is just a pawn in a larger game.

Similarly, WWI was not caused by the assassination of Arch Duke Ferdinand. He was just the cause célèbre latched onto by various world stage actors who wanted the war.

Poland, Hungary, & Slovakia are controlling their borders, and maybe Austria & Italy are starting to do so. As for the rest of western Europe, the people are disarmed and the governments are pro-muzzie, so they’re mostly done for.

They aren’t sweet gentle migrants.

They are hordes of homicidal savages.

Islam is an invasion force.
