Germany backing away from that and instituting border controls is a huge blow to the EU. Brussels is nervous this morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Goat Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) So -- The Germans' big "agreement" is to ship migrants back to the county where they first requested asylum? What a freaking dog and pony show. Even they're not dumb enough to believe one of those countries will take them back. How is this anything more than kicking the can 5 meters down the road? Edit: Just saw that Bavaria's state election is on October 18th. That answers my question. It always comes back to !@#$ing politics, doesn't it? Then what, Angela?

Few Republicans get the DNC Seal of Approval to run for a GOP seat like Huntsman. It used to be my litmus test: if a leftists said they could get behind a Republican like Huntsman, I knew he wasn't my guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Putin's murder weapon on our allies soil, seems to be still doing serious damage. Not that Trump will bring this up at his celebration of Putin summit. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/alarm-in-britain-over-new-novichok-nerve-agent-poisoning/2018/07/05/d108205c-7fdb-11e8-a63f-7b5d2aba7ac5_story.html?utm_term=.1079d9f6b978 LONDON — The British government on Thursday called on Russia to explain “exactly what has gone on” after a British couple fell into a coma following exposure to the same type of Soviet-era nerve agent used in March to poison a former spy and his daughter. The latest health crisis involving the chemical Novichok came about eight miles from the site where former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his adult daughter, Yulia, were stricken four months ago. The couple was exposed to the nerve agent after “handling a contaminated item,” the Metropolitan Police said in an evening statement. Investigators are now left trying to determine if this was residual contamination from the March attack — which British authorities linked to the Russian government. Moscow has categorically denied any involvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) Why Iran Is Threatening to Close the Strait of Hormuz The tough rhetoric is more than likely to be followed up by more mild retaliation attempts, such as the harassment of vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. https://worldview.stratfor.com/article/why-iran-threatening-close-strait-hormuz Edited July 6, 2018 by ALF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
