Just the beginning - Rev 2

The influx of refugees, as stated before in BRT, is just starting to ramp up, with dire implications for the cultural and economic future of Europe. This crisis, along with others like environmental degradation, resource depletion and continued fossil fuel use, in concert with never ending war, are prime drivers to a possible dark age as we move further into the 21st century. From this purview, one has to ask if other civilizations living on rocky planets, go through the same process and .... do they survive in using tech and political enlightenment to move to a sustainable way of conducting business on their planets before it's too late. One never knows but to yours truly, the success rate for us is razor thin given just how fractured a state mankind is at this point in time.

Europe Refugee Crisis: Croatia's President Calls For Further EU Help As Tensions With Neighbors Worsen

Croatia’s President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic called for more help from the European Union in dealing with a massive influx of refugees Saturday. In an interview with the Associated Press, she said that the country of 4.2 million could only do so much to assist the hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing violence and chaos in the Middle East and Africa.

Thousands of them streamed into Croatia Thursday after they were forcibly pushed back from Hungary’s borders, and the country shut its borders after over 20,000 entered this week, saying it could not handle more.

"We need to stop the flow, we need to get reassurances from European Union what happens to these people who are already in Croatia, and those who still want to transit through Croatia further," she said, according to the Associated Press.

The migrants are trying to transit through nations like Croatia in the hopes of reaching the Schengen Zone, from where they can go to wealthy west European nations like Germany.

Manufactured crisis, courtesy US foreign policy and resource depletion in the desert nations of North Africa, are the two reasons why Europe is in the cross hairs of something never thought possible prior to 2001.
