Putin aim in
Syria 'to destroy Europe', Attack could flood EU with millions more Syrian migrants, by
Jerome Corsi, 2/11/16 WND
UNITED NATIONS – Russian
President Vladimir Putin’s aim in launching an assault against the rebel stronghold
of Aleppo, Syria, is not only to keep President Bashar al-Assad in power but to
weaken Chancellor Angela Merkel in Germany by flooding Europe with millions
more migrants this spring and summer, warns a top European foreign-policy
analyst. The ultimate objective is to destroy the European Union, she contends.
“Merkel’s latest plan is
for Turkey to stop the flow of refugees to Greece, which can no longer cope
under the immense strain,” said Judy Dempsey, a
nonresident senior associate with the Brussels-based Carnegie Europe and the editor and
chief of Strategic Europe.
“But outsourcing the
refugee problem to either Greece or Turkey is not a sustainable option,” she
stressed. “In return for Turkey’s assistance, Merkel said EU countries, many of
which have already refused to take in refugees or are closing their borders,
would have to be willing to accept quotas of migrants.”
Putin’s action in Syria
tests the 1985 Schengen Agreement, which committed the 26 nations of the EU to
allowing passport-free travel across their borders.
With the more than 1
million Middle Eastern asylum seekers flooding the EU through Greece and Turkey
last year, pressure
is intensifying even within the EU to exercise a provision in the Schengen
Agreement that would suspend
passport-free travel for two years, “dealing a potentially terminal blow to a
scheme that has been in place for more than 20 years,” as the London
Guardian reported Jan. 26.
The Middle East flees to
Europe
According to the International Organization for
Migration, a
total of 70,365 migrants from the Middle East have arrived in Greece from
Turkey by sea this year,
bringing the total number since Jan. 1, 2015, to 924,015.
“Even if the integration
effort were going smoothly, the task would be well nigh impossible,” warned
the widely read economic blog ZeroHedge.com on Wednesday. “Germany, for instance, took in some 1.1
million refugees in 2015 – the country only has 82 million people.”
“Of course the
integration effort isn’t going smoothly at all,” ZeroHedge.com continued. “A
wave of sexual assaults blamed on men ‘of Arab origin’ swept the bloc on New
Year’s Eve and since then, a rising tide of nationalism threatens to
destabilize the entire region and thrust the likes of Germany, Sweden, and
Finland into social upheaval.”
On Wednesday, Turkey
angrily rejected demands that it open its border to some 30,000 Syrian
“refugees” fleeing the Russian airstrikes supporting the Assad-led Syrian
government assault on Aleppo. The conflict has displaced more than half of
Syria’s prewar population, creating a vast diaspora of nearly 5.5 million
migrants beyond Syria’s borders and potentially could build to 600,000 fleeing
the Aleppo region alone, the
Washington Post reported Wednesday.
Last weekend, the BBC
reported EU officials are
insisting Turkey must open its borders to those fleeing Syria, with Federica
Mogherini, the EU foreign policy chief, insisting that Turkey has a moral, if not
a legal obligation, to provide protection for the Syrians fleeing the
intensifying war in Syria now centered around Aleppo.
Saudi Arabia to enter
Syrian conflict
Saudi Brig. Gen. Ahmad
Al-Assiri told reporters on Thursday that Riyadh is “ready” and will fight with
the U.S.-led coalition to defeat ISIS militants in Syria by sending ground
troops into the conflict.
The statement came as
Saudi Arabia’s Deputy Crown Prince and Defense Minister Mohammed bin Salman
visited NATO headquarters in Brussels to discuss the Syrian civil war.
An expanded war in Syria
is certain to put increased pressure on Merkel, much as Putin appears to have
planned.
“Back in December 2015,
when it became clear that refugees from the Middle East would continue to head
toward Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel reassured her conservative Christian
Democratic Union party that everything was under control,” Dempsey concluded in
her article posted on the Carnegie Europe website. “All she needed, she told
party members, was more time. Germany could manage the influx of over 1 million
refugees and asylum seekers.
“Merkel was banking,
naively or not, on two things: peace talks that would end the five-year-long
war in Syria; and cooperation from Turkey to stop sending refugees to EU
countries, improve the conditions for refugees, and strengthen the EU’s
external border,” Dempsey continued. “Neither has materialized. Merkel’s task
of reassuring her party and voters is becoming trickier by the day.”

There are two ways to
interpret why Putin would want to see the EU unravel. The first is outdated, but still may be
valid. Russia doesn’t like foreign entities like NATO and the US pointing
missiles at Russia. They didn’t enjoy WW I or WW II and these both came from
“Europe”. The updated version is that Russia wants to support Syria because of
oil, proximity and trade relations.
A third theory puts
Russia and US voters against the UN and their global cabal. I notice that Putin is not a fan of the global
warming scam and I think he believes that European governments have been stupid
to waste money on UN delusional schemes like carbon capture, multiculturalism,
open borders and Muslim migration. I
would like to see the EU be put back in its box and limited to providing the
Euro. I am relieved that global voters are taking a nationalist tack in
response to the global economic slow-down and the UN nonsense. Russia and China are right to ignore global
warming and they have given us a reason to reject it ourselves.
Russia needs to expand
its “private sector” to provide economic opportunities to its citizens and
Russian controlled neighboring countries.
European voters need
to get rid of their current crop of stupid legislators and government leaders
and ignore UN attempts to dictate policy and claim unearned influence.
