Swedish deputy prime minister Åsa Romson said that we are turning the Med into the new Auschwitz.

:unsure: Is Europe planning on just liquidating Greece by sinking it to the bottom of the sea?

She's a Green. Lord knows what passes through her precious little mind.

The wind, most likely.

Or solar rays or water, in any event.

It's nice to know that while the EU is unwilling to defend Europe from actual invaders like the Russians, they are willing to sign up for military action to prevent more brown people from getting into their countries.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Only fair. The brown people stopped them from getting into their countries anymore.

I have a feeling they will try to get Uncle Sam to do the actual killing.

Pffft. As soon as the Europeans send people down to help us control our Mexico border we will send people to help them manage the Med.

I doubt we can solve a humanitarian crisis like this with violence.

I doubt we can solve it except by becoming dirt poor. Rampant xenophobia hasn't worked so far.

In the off-chance of economic recovery, I'd like to see some effort to stabilise North Africa. How? I have noe idea.
Since the human traffickers work among civilians, I can only see military action ending in more tragedy.

Get zombie Graziani and Scipio's zombie legions on the job, and we'll be alright.

Apparently we are sending a ship to the Mediterrean on request of the European Comission to  "rescue" fugitives.
