The migrant crisis in Europe

And here we are, then, under the brilliant German leadership of Merkel & Wheelie.

It has been particularly depressing to watch the "response" (yes, it's a vicious abuse of the word) from the European institutions to this migrant crisis, with even our good old Durão Burroso saying the fault lies not with the EU, but with each individual country.

I assume these "individual countries" he mentioned are the same that have been driving, for the last few years, Europe's current sentiment of "each man for himself", with which they screwed the Greeks (and us, too). Not that we didn't deserve it, little parasitic toadies that we were, brazenly living above our means, and all that.

Well, now our teutonic "friends" (and their associates) are shocked (shocked! I tell you) that some European countries are looking at this migrant crisis from a perspective of... each man for himself.

As they say in Astrology and Economy - Who could've predicted that?

I'd like to be angry at Hungary, but I really can't. Yes, their leader is an asshole, but he's just being a good European asshole, following the clues that Berlin has been dropping for years. In fact, if he really did say this was a "German problem", I'd say he got the rules of the game admirably well. He's an intelligent asshole, and I have to admire him for that. We've also elected an asshole here, yes, but we forgot to pay attention to the "intelligent" bit. Our fault, really.

So, we suddenly have a humanitarian crisis to solve. Totally unexpected (er... who could've predicted that?), after our leaders' (I'm a vicious word abuser, I know) completely responsible handling of what we used to call the Arab Spring. After much idiotic rejoicing over an outcome that anyone with half a brain cell could see was an extremely long shot (and with a path full of perils that required a lot more commitment than half-wit statements from brain-dead officials), we Europeans did what we're best at - whistling to the side, and pushing the issue with the belly.

And, as I began, here we are. This, ladies and gentlemen, is what happens when we prefer to elect accountants, instead of leaders. At least, our books will be a shining example to the world. Well, that is, unless we're using Goldman Sachs consultants, in which case our books will blaze like a thousand suns, as if forged from star matter.

Yes, we must keep our priorities straight. Or, as our Dear Leader said, in one of his numerous memorable quotes - the people are worse off, but the country is better off.

More German than the Germans, I guess...
