Okay so, my take on this...been reading throughout August/September on the matter and now that i'm out of holiday mood i have formed some sort of opinion, fringe conspiracy theory even on it:
The immigrant waves will be used as an excuse to motivate the pacifist lefty EU trash populace into accepting more foreign interventions.
2nd stage of going after Libyan people smugglers commenced about a week ago. 2nd stage means flying drones over Libya and it's littoral waters to find out targets.
3rd stage will be elimination of these targets and so far unmentioned, but in my opinion unavoidable boots on the ground. Side product of this=Libyan energents production coming back to it's pre-civil war levels.
As for the hordes of young men....to some extent it's true, better to send the most able first on a perilous journey so they can perhaps send back enough money so that their families don't have to go through the same ordeal.
However, my hunch tells me, EU leaders want these new arrivals to rejuvenate the local population. And here comes the conspiracy part mentioned above-----a child takes more from the mother that from the father-example-mom Jew-you are Jew, or at least considered to be one, or the same principle Turks have been saying on PDF-their empire crumbled because their sultans kept taking Balkan wives, gradually changing the top tier of power completely. Or when
@Nihonjin1051 links pics of mixed Japanese dad/Caucasian mom kids......the child barely has any mongoloid features. Rahul Gandhi is another example. Would fit more in an Italian coffeteria than in Delhi. He is so typically Italian it's unbeliavable....like early 30's hipster, still lives with his mom, chases girls on his vespa look.
There is a visible agenda in the press going on in regards to acceptance, they even went so far as to word it "refugees, our neighbours,
our partners, our colleagues, our... etc etc
And since we all know mainstream media is more or less a mouthpiece of the governments
(as most MSM houses are owned by very very few individuals who are in cahoots with people in power) this is a message from the powers that rule us.
I would agree with @Atanz 's "prediction" that in the next few decades some consolidating will take place. The indices to this are already visible, EU's eastern partnership programme or w/e it's called...that deals with all those Xstan's that came out of Russia. Also, if you put it in this light, keeping Greece at all costs inside makes much more sense. And that's why Azerbaijan can organize Eurogames and the likes of Israel and Armenia get to participate in Eurovision trash contest. Cultivating soft power takes a bit.
