That’s creative. Refusing to allow smuggled migrants in is called “kidnapping.”

“The EU like one big sinking ship, everyone going down together as one collective whole.”
I normally don’t respond to your rhetoric, but you may be correct for once and I acknowledge that.

NGOs have become a weird form of (covert) revolutionary armies,...

Yes, they have.

Airlift a month’s worth of food and supplies to each ship, along with a map and navigation instructions to get them to Germany. At that point, any obligations Italy may have had on humanitarian grounds have been fulfilled.

There they go again. Germany, decades after utter defeat goin’ and acting like they control all of Europe.... They certainly think they’re gonna be the head of any full-force EU MIC complex that arises. Meanwhile, the whole country is beset by Muslims, courtesy of Angela Merkel....

But you would do well to remember the lender is the slave of the borrower.

That is an economic truth.

Not really. Especially not now that the German economy is imploding. Before they accounted for 20% of the EU economy, and about 28% of the Eurozone. But they aren’t paying for things anymore and are in deep trouble.

They no longer get to issue demands. Italy is buying Russian gas, just elected a nationalist who is personally in deep conflict with EU values. Push too hard and they may walk. The German green thing and Ukraine war has destroyed their ability to wield economic power.

I am not trying to counter anything you posted. I just want to add my opinion that Germany will most likely get through their current self-inflicted crisis just fine.

The bigger, long-term question is how will they survive their current demographic implosion, and what kind of nation will they become?

I suppose Japan might be the model in this respect.

Well, I don't know how sovereign Italy is - except it's a lot more sovereign than Germany.

Germany is already being plagued with high inflation, shortages of fuel and threats of a very cold winter due to lack of heating.

Just what they need, more destitute migrants to tax the system, especially the beleaguered taxpayers. This is being forced on the German people who certainly do not want this.

Stand strong Italy, hopefully the German people will get their act together before it’s too late (if it isn’t already, Merkel already accepted a million military-aged muslim men an counting).

Accurate to a degree. But the Germans are no longer industrious and hard working. They have wrecked their own economy on the altar of global warming, aggressive globalism, provoking wars, and ideology.
So all they are left with is criticizing those who want to enjoy life and not join into their retarded quests.

Portugal, Italy, Spain and Greece do little more than pay lip service to global warming. They are pretty much absent from the Great Patriotic War.

The German self image is about to have to be calibrated.

I speak, and work with Germans in Germany every day. I don't hear them complaining.
You be well advised not to tie to much of your “conservative” eggs in one basket. Especially the “stable” Italian politics.
The German economy will adjust. I trust their judgment over any Italian leader of the day anytime.
I also take the input of my Italian coworkers who want to become U.S. citizens because their county is such a ClusterF*ck, as where the Germans have no inclination to leave their country for ours.
That's a lot better that some outdated B&W movie version of history.
Take care.

If I were advising Meloni....let the ship dock, put the migrants on a trains and drive those trains straight to the French and German border. Dump them off with a few bucks for a cab to take them to Paris and Berlin.

Exactly.

Simply tell the NGO’s that that they will be immediately arrested and charged with Alien Smuggling and the vessels seized and actioned off to pay for the illegal alien’s care.

NGOs have no right to violate the law.

“Except...if the Leaders are actually Globalists and are the ones actually opening the floodgates”

And who elects those leaders?

At the end of the day, the buck stops with the people. They are letting themselves be bamboozled and self guilted into their own destruction. They voting for the “leaders” who hate them.

“Pathological compassion” is a great and leading destroyer of societies.
