htpcl.livejournal.comKali mera, ma' fellow indifferent armchair-dwelling popcorn-munchers smart folks who care about having nice things in the world! Here's a piece of news, the way it could've happened (or in a way, might've already happened).
GREECE. Hordes of refugees flocking at Greece's land borders have joined the nationwide farmers' protest, and blocked the border crossings too. Just like the Greek farmers, they also demand money and free souvlaki.
As has become known in recent years, February is that time of the year when Greece usually comes within a thread's distance from bankruptcy, and is compelled to either cut living meat off its own body, or rather pretend they're negotiating with the creditors who've been pressing for fresh austerity measures, sanctions, and lashes on bare flesh.
The refugees have joined the good fight, announcing that they don't feel like venturing any further into Europe, unless Europe renders their due unto them, the way it has done with Greece on an annual basis. In turn, the Greeks have said they do not want Europe to just give them stuff, but also to stop taking from them.
The situation has become even more complicated, now that Erdogan has invaded the Kurds in Iraq and then in Syria, and refused to stop violating the Greek air space and mock the Greeks in their face from under his baklava-greased mustache. All in all, that's the situation on the Balkans in its full glory, and you can trust me as a source, what with yours-truly being a Dark Balkan Subject, and all.
( But seriously. )
