If European nations have any desire to continue to be free societies, they should be helping the Greeks stop this invasion. But they are unlikely to do so. It has been clear for quite some time that the European Union has chosen the path of civilizational suicide.
“Turkey deploys 1,000 police at Greek border to stem push-back of migrants,” Reuters, March 5, 2020:
EDIRNE, Turkey (Reuters) – Turkey is deploying 1,000 special police forces along its border with Greece on Thursday to halt the pushback of migrants toward its territory, Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said, adding that 164 migrants had been wounded by Greek authorities.
Soylu’s comments come amid a war of words between Ankara and Athens following Turkey’s decision to no longer abide by a 2016 deal with the European Union to halt illegal migration flows to Europe in return for billions of euros in aid.
Since then, thousands of migrants have rushed to the Turkish border with Greece in hopes of crossing into Europe. Ankara has accused Greek authorities of shooting dead and injuring migrants near the border. Athens has rejected this, saying Turkish police were helping migrants cross the border illegally.
Speaking to reporters in the northwestern border province of Edirne, Soylu said Greek police had wounded the scores of migrants trying to cross the border.
“They wounded 164 people. They tried to push 4,900 people back to Turkey,” he said. “We are deploying 1,000 special force police to the border system… to prevent the push-back.”…
Jean Elizabeth Terry says
What a mess. The European Union is a disaster.
brenrod says
Basically, Turkey attacked and invaded Greece and the EU using muslim migrants as their proxy army.

The Duran has had some good videos over the last few days. One deals with the results of the Erdogan/Putin meet.
PRCS says
So, who will they be shooting to stem the pushback?
The ‘migrants’?
The Greek police/army personnel?
Both?
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
With all the politicians pushing open borders, and their allies in national judiciaries, including America’s, it’s only a matter of time before push comes to shove. The caravans of illegal aliens heading through Mexico to our border would disappear if the Border Patrol started shooting them in the legs upon attempted illegal entry.

It’s telling that a Moslem, leading a Moslem nation, is threatening Europe with 3.6 million Moslems. That’s self-acknowledgement.
Turkey is our ally. Yeah, and so is Pakistan.

The EU has had decades to create an efficient policy to deal with illegal Third World immigration. Africa, alone, will double its population in 30 years, the populations of other Muslim Third World countries are also exploding (Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Iran, etc.) while the EU sits in Brussels – where I’m writing this from – with its collective thumb up its åss.
The EU will NOT fix this mess, they have proven themselves time and again to be inept in doing so. Eventually it’ll take the military force of desperate individual countries and/or NATO military power to stop the future one billion people trying to break into Europe over the coming decades.
Stanton Lore says
Will the EU help Greece? Uh…..
Dottie Stoddlemeyer says
I dont care if they come in Trojan horses or march into Greece backwards, pretending they’re leaving. This is an invasion to conquer. Turkey started this war.

Keys says
Excellent response by Greek Prime Minister Kyriákos Mitsotakis.
The EU and NATO need to respond to this attack by Erdogan with suffice troops at the Greek border now, tonight. Leadership action is needed immediately on all Turkish plots.
Michael Copeland, thank you for this youtube reference of March 3 – two days ago. Two days ago ! Time for action. The Greek Prime Minister is protecting his own nation and Europe, and protecting “at the Gates” !

At 2:45 he speaks in Greek, which is definitely Greek to me, but I clearly understood him say “fake news” in Greek.
The Leftists are everywhere in cahoots in their quest for a New World Order. You know, the one to fundamentally change America, and the nations of the globe. Why go for one or two countries – go for all the Earth.
“Greece first !”
CogitoErgoSum says
The Turks will use force to defend their borders against returning migrants. The Greeks will use force to defend their borders against migrants crossing illegally. Okay … looks like Turkey and Greece agree that they both have the right to defend their own borders. And that makes it look all the more like the Turks are using the migrants as a weapon against Greece. Despicable action on the part of the Turks.
PRCS says
Although, if the ‘migrants’ have not actually crossed into Greek territory, the Turks won’t be defending their border.
CogitoErgoSum says
Would not matter where the migrants are as long as they are outside the Turkish border and wanting to cross back into Turkey. The Turks would be doing the same as the Greeks in forcibly stopping people from entering the country freely.
PRCS says
“Although, if the ‘migrants’ have not actually crossed into Greek territory”–as they would not be trying to cross back into Turkey.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, migrants who have not left Turkish territory would not be trying to cross back into Turkish territory. I understand that. In such a case the Turks would not be defending their territory. But if any do leave Turkish territory and try to return and the Turks stop them, how would the Turks be acting any differently than the Greeks in defending their territory? Both sides would be trying to stop people from crossing the border into their country (or maybe my old brain is not functioning properly today).
Alarmed Pig Farmer says

The Ayatollah needs to send in some U.S. federal district court judges. That’d open things up.
Les says
Plenty of practice using Palestinian people (muslims, their brothers) to achieve political leverage… boot Turkey out NATO. Send NATO troops to bolster Greece’s border with Turkey.
Les says
Maybe now the EU will now experience what Israel have to deal with … Muslims using fellow Muslims as pawns. Islam, a selfish and hateful ideology.
keith says
I do notice that Turkey did not try and send the illegal immigrants back to Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and every other Stan they came from.
But instead pushed them towards the border with Europe.
owensgate says
A sensible 20th Century would have had Greece and Turkey facing off across the Bosporus, not split through the middle of Thrace. It would have been a better control of unauthorized emigration, a risky swim through turbulent water, or one or two bridges to close. It seems Turkey intends to re-visit the Caliphate of the Ottomans, by re-taking Greece through “jihad invasion”. King Leonidas is rolling over in his grave.
Adam says
Its looking bad. I think the only thing left to do is call out the Hollywood Celebs. We need concerts and PSA’s and we need them fast. New Marvel superheros are being created as we speak in order to swiftly stomp out injustice. Stand aside citizens. A new dawn is breaking and i think everything is going to be OK.
somehistory says
Take our angry, hate-filed, lustful, lawless, demonic hordes…or else. er dog wan didn’t get more money from the nations that have been taking care of the first wave of lawless, angry, hate-filed, lustful, demonic hordes, because they didn’t wish to go on supporting him in his fanatic desire to rule the world; and money was already spent on the hordes…feeding, housing, doctoring, caring for their teeth, etc.
er dog wan threatened to send in the depraved…and he knew it was something Greece wouldn’t want.
Now, the so-called “migrants” are between two armies…being used by er dog wan as a weapon, one he believes he can brand as “helpless” in the face of being shot at, wounded, killed, and the whole world will turn on Greece for not allowing these moslims in.
hamas and hezbollah have been very successful at putting young moslims in harm’s way, and then shooting them, bombing them, and blaming the injuries and deaths on Israel. And the entire world has sympathized with the “victims” of the endless war and blamed Israel, saying the Jews should not retaliate.
er dog an is just trying the same tactic. with the added idea of taking more of the property of the Greeks.

Patriotliz says
Which countries are these migrants from?…they’re not all Syrian nor all “refugees.”
How much money does Erdogan want from the EU to prevent these Muslim jihadists, i.e., Ottoman Empire invasion 2.0?
These are migrants from Iran and probably other countries which have an outbreak of the Coronavirus…this is a threat of spread of infectious disease as well as the spread and a take over by a malignant ideology.
I assume the Leftists will blame Trump for this…since he’s always the blame for everything that Muslim jihadists do.
Which non-Muslim organizers are helping this invasion to destroy the West other than Soros’s NGOs?
stevo says
seems Syria wasn’t the enemy after all, its been Turkey all along. Tell Turkey if they wont use the 5 billion to stop the boats, the EU will give the Kurds billion in cash and heavy arms
jca reid says
The Muslim World is deliberately bussing Muslims from Afghanistan, Pakistan, elsewhere to the Turkish/Greek/Bulgarian borders. Greece is saying they’re not going to process “Refugees” for a month. They should stop all together! No “Refugees”. NONE. ZERO! The ones in Greece/EU can ALL go back to whence they came. Does Europe really need “so-called migrants/potential workers with IQ’s well south of 70, who breed like bunnies?? Islam has screwed up its own countries. They only way it persists is to contaminate new lands.
UNCLE VLADDI says
The Turks do have a right to force unwanted non-citizens to leave, but this problem has been slanted from the beginning; in what historical context has it ever been desirable for any state to keep its borders closed from those wanting to leave (East Germany, I’m looking at you and your Wall!) as opposed to the obvious duty of a country to keep its own damned borders closed to invaders, whether or not they come unarmed while posing as refugees?!
Armed border guards should simply shoot trespassing invaders.
That’s how it’s always been, throughout history … up until now.

Mr. Daniel Greenfield has an excellent article on this in today’s FrontPageMag. Worth the read.

Turkey should try to push back these Syrian refugees in to Syria.Is that nit a win win situation? Why push them to a place where they are not wanted?
