Open borders and welfare bloat have Europe
at the brink of disaster: Will it shift course?

While everything VDH mentions is right, I am disappointed that he failed to mention the epidemic of muslim rapes in Europe. It needs to be shouted from rooftops because civilized nations cannot abide this.

Nothing will change until the elites of Europe suffer the consequences of their actions. Unfortunately when this happens it may be too late to change. This could happen in the USA also.

Not only the ''Elites'' #2, but the traitorous so-called 'media' that will not report even a small personage of the crime committed by the savage muslims. Better to have the peasants raped and murdered by those scum than to hurt their feeeeelings.

Sheesh! Make that ''percentage'' in my post #4. What the ......

VDH must be writing for Norte Americanos - all Europeans are at their religious observances for another week or two - the beaches. 6 weeks of vacay are up, back to the 30 hour weeks Arbeiters….

The rapes may only be the barbaric muslim way of spreading their population and culture around the world as quickly as possible. It's still a major crime. Europe will not recover as well as we are because "they know better."

All part of the elite globalists' plan. chaos, plague, food shortage, dependence, and ultimately depopulation

Those immigrants aren’t fleeing dictators back home. They are being sent to the west to conquer it without doing so in battle. They are doing it with mass immigration and high birth rates. Margaret Thatcher nailed it with her comment about socialism and other peoples’ money. And it has been going on for a long time. More than 40 years ago I was living in Belgium and way back then, their welfare system provided the unemployed with a month of paid vacation. Think about the insanity of that! Europe is almost dead and it is their own fault.

Yes, they will happily turn over Europe to their Muslim masters then there won't be any more opinion polls. Fixed the opinion poll problem!

Once again Victor is spot on....and perhaps WE now know why europe wants the Z man at war....they know Putin will eye europe in his quest to take europe under control like the ole Soviet Union...the mantra is always..."better red than dead"....the European folk need a man like President Trump to come in and fix the mess the muslims have made.....but you can't have President Trump...he's ours....MAGA!!

Angela Merkel is no German, she is an "East German," who suckled at the teat of the iron-fisted Communist East German Stasi. Her idea of a "grand unified Germany" was to simply follow the orders from the U.N./WEF/Globalist Billionaire Elites, and her hero, Klaus Schwab. We can see how that is working out for them now. The last time I was in Germany (Frankfurt to Hamburg) my searches for a "kleines familiengeführtes lokales Restaurant" with plenty of "gemütlichkeit" always ended in disappointment, whereas decades prior, the result would have easily born fruit. Today, most of those originally German-owned restaurants are now owned by Turkish immigrants who scraped together enough Euros to buy a restaurant from a retiring German couple, leaving in place the outside "Deutsch" accouterments, while spending little to no time learning ethnic German food prep and presentation. Everything felt and tasted "different," while dark-complexioned males with serious dark eyes stared at me, as I tried to understand what I was eating, which I eventually determined to be Turkish food masquerading as German. My visit coincided with the Soccer World Cup, and from every apartment balcony hung one nation's flag. The German flag, you surmise? No, it was Turkey's. There are currently more 1.3 Million Turkish immigrants living in Germany. whereas there are only 64 Million Turks TOTAL living in Turkey. Germany has the largest population of Turks in all of Europe, with France pulling up a distant second at 210 Thousand. Ethnic Germans despise their government and the "Professional Politician Class" for what they have done to their once proud nation with such a rich Western cultural history. Leftist Globalist Political Elites and the "Cheap Labor Whores" of the Political-Industrial Complex have set the stage for a Civil War that will cause more destruction than all the bombs unleashed in WWII, affecting even countries untouched by hostilities in the "War to end all Wars." Even Germany, who is forever "Holocaust Shamed" for the sins of their fathers and grandfathers, will throw off those chains to become eager participants in "rehoming" efforts in order to regain their cultural identity as a nation. Whether the Catholic Church will rise up and take a strong stand on the issue of Islam vs. Christianity in Western Europe is yet another unknown at this time. (Has anyone seen or heard from the new Pope?) - The EU acted as a "Judas Goat" leading the nations of Western Europe into a tar-filled abyss from which escape is nearly impossible. Who will help them? Not the USA, who has given enough "freebies and lives" to Europe. It must be a militarily unified Europe that acts to drive Muslim immigration in reverse in order to regain control over their national identities. - And to think, it all started in the 1960's from a "labor shortage" in a country ravaged by war, attempting to rebuild and simultaneously grow into one of Europe's industrial powerhouses of prosperity. Someone simply forgot to, "Guard the castle gates," and to never underestimate the effect of an ever increasing quantity of "sand" over time in the nation's "gearworks."

I am done with the EU. In order to survive this madness, the U.S. has to return to building and saving itself. The U.S. is challenged from within by the same madness, and the time to save the U.S. is growing short, one election enough to tip the ship and send it toward the bottom. For the U.S., it is fight now, or life and liberty is lost to the left, who will never surrender power.

Obama shamed them all to take in as many Islamic refugees as possible.
