KASTANIES, Greece — Thousands of migrants and refugees massed at Turkey’s western frontier Sunday, trying to enter Greece by land and sea after Turkey said its borders were open to those hoping to head to Europe. In Syria, Turkish troops shot down two Syrian warplanes after the Syrian military downed a Turkish drone, a major escalation in the direct conflict between Syrian and Turkish forces.

How much fun would it be if some of the refugees had coronavirus?

Turkey doing bio-warfare...

I think it would be a good idea for Greece, Russia, Cyrpus, Egypt, Libya and Syria to occupy Turkey and run it the way Germany was ruled after WWII.
All of Syria is now liberated from islamists with the exception of Idlib area so it is now clear who are behind ISIS and its derivatives.

I like that idea. I was hoping the Turkish military would get sick of Erdogan, but seeing the vid’s of what they’ve done to captured SAA, they are as psycho as Erdogan.

“Turkey doing bio-warfare”
I just referenced a Jack London novel on another thread, “The Unparalleled Invasion”, written in 1910.
China conquers Japan Korea and Formosa and threatens European colonies. Ottoman Turks use germ war fare to kill millions of Chinese to halt Chinese expansion.

“Refugees”

That’s what they call them. But very few of them are.

Greek authorities said they stopped about 10,000 crossing attempts Saturday, and another 5,500 on Sunday. Erdogan loves ‘flooding’ these refugees in, well peppered with ISIS members for sure. It worked before in mass and that's the way ISIS rolls to get into Europe, which is exactly what Erdogan wants. ....I do wonder if Erdogan is ultimately the one who flattens Damascus, his huge lust for power and dominion is unquenchable...and ol’ Angela Merkle will always be remembered as the Queen of Isis in Europe....

That’s Fencer bombers shot down by SAMs and AAA. All crews are alive and well.
Turks also said to bomb three Syrian SAMs.
Turks themselves lost three to six advanced Anka drones worth around $30 mln each. They shot down one themselves thinking it was a Syrian bomber.

Re: refugees mass at EU border

Great timing for Brexit!

Will the German voters accept another million “refugees” if Mommy Merkel demands it?

Probably.

That’s definitely escalation. And so are the threats from Russia that they will attack Turkish military in Syria if this continues.

Greece is a victim in this of course, being used by Turkey, one of their ancient adversaries, as an unwilling pawn in the battle. Never forget Russia and Greece have basically the same church.
