The EU Commission has called Greece 'Europe's Shield' and came out in support of us. Brussels has more than once dismissed left wing MEPs accusing falsely Greece. The EU has also pledged to hand money to Greece to boost its border defense. If anything, the EU leadership is glad Greece is stopping illegal immigration (for multiple reasons, ranging from weakening of populist right to taking away a weapon of Erdogan).

Sorry, but what exactly was silly about the statement?

What problem do you have with their statement?


The National Socialist party was exactly representative of their National Socialist ideology. Try to pretend that National Socialism is the same as socialism is utter bullshit. But you know that. Get better material.

Given the current state of the EU the only consequences they will get is if they don't stop all the migrants.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.



The above post contains hyperbole, metaphoric language, embellishment and exaggeration. It may also include badly translated figures of speech and misused idioms. Analyze accordingly.

Greece is a sovereign country. International law is bullshit unless you have the balls to enforce it.

There will be consequences for reneging on a treaty voluntarily signed. Most likely these consequences will be being pushed out of the international sandbox. If Greece decides to split on the refugee accords like this, the I can guarantee the larger EU will decide that all these handouts they're getting might be better used given back to the constituents they came from.

The EU seems to be supporting Greece right now so their willpower isn’t that strong.
If Greece wasn’t tied down under the yoke of neo liberalism they wouldn’t have economic issues to begin with thus not needing handouts. That’s why breaking away from these insane institutions are a good idea.

Greece temporarily suspended the right to asylum, so such push backs were legal. Also, they have the support of around 70%+ Greeks according to most polls.

The Government Decree on the suspension of the submission of asylum applications were in violation of domestic law. Its popular support is irrelevant to the question of its legality.

Further, as long as they are a party to the Refugee Convention, they are bound by it, and it provides to mechanism for any such suspension of rights.

People keep repeating the 'dumping people on the sea' lie, even though the (less than credible) article itself doesn't state that. Escorting boats back to Turkish territorial waters isn't the same as throwing people on sea.

Also, people keep ignoring that one of the migrants interviewed stated that they had tried to travel to Greece four times, and were returned back to Turkish territorial waters where they were taken back to Turkey. If they were on sea and drowning, they wouldn't have tried it three more times.
