The EU wants to sink people-smugglers’ fleets before migrants embark
2015-04-24
[LibyaHerald] La Belle France is to ask the UN for permission to destroy the stock of vessels belonging to people-smugglers, while the budget for the EU's Triton border patrols is to be trebled . . .
The unexpected result, of course, will be that with the fishing fleet destroyed (how easily can one distinguish between an ancient fishing trawler about to carry 700 overpaying bodies and an ancient fishing trawler awaiting engine repairs?), the native populatikn turns to piracy, a la Somalia?

#9  OOOOPPPSSSIES, forgot FREEREPUBLIC > [BreitBart] ADMIRAL WARNS: POTENTIAL FOR ISLAMIST RAIDS ON EUROPEAN ISLANDS.

I have to say these islands don't like the CNMI to me, nor do they look Chinese = PLA.

#8  As per CNN this AM, LIBYAN GENERAL = any Euro or UNO MilAction to destroy the smugglers' boats on Libya's shores is a NO-NO.

NOPE.

NO WAY, JOSE!

FYI also on CNN this AM > ANOTHER SEVERAL HUNDRED MUSLIM REFUGEES WERE RESCUED, in the aftermath of the over-800 which drowned this week.

* IIRC CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > [Repost = Old] SHIPLOAD AFTER SHIPLOAD OF REFUGEES DROWN. [Yet]NO WAY OUT SAVE [via] MUSLIM/ISLAMIC EUROPE.

BLOGGERS/NETTERS = opined that THESE REFUGEES WILL LIKELY KEEP COMING BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY, + IRREGARDLESS OF RISKS TO THIER LIVES, UNTIL EUROPE TURNS DE FACTO ISLAMIC.

Lest we fergit, 1990's + PRE-,POST-9-11 NET =as far as Muslims + Radical Islamists are concerned, THE ANSWER IS N-O-T FOR MUSLIMS + ISLAM TO CHANGE, BUT FOR THE WEST = JUDEOCHRISTIANITY = NON-ISLAMIC WORLD TO SURRENDER LIKE FRANCE + MAKE CONCESSIONS TO ISLAM.

But I digress ...

#7  Europe should just have a sub crash into and sink boats the way Captain Nemo did. Then claim act of God over and over until it is believed that Allah hates migrants to Europe.

The only question really is can the Haliburton Earthquake machine target just a mosque because if htat were true you could get them to self-deport in no time. Otherwise the Europeans should work to start a conflict between the various Mosques to push the more violent ones out.

#6  I think Trailing Wife nails it. How long before sinking the boat leads to the useful idiots crying about starving poor Libya because of no more fishing.

Attacks on boats stop, massive financial aid into Libya begins. Aid will probably be used to buy Russian weapons.

#5  That's what I would do. Do it consistently and the 'immigrants' will get the message.

#4  If they do sink the boats expect hijackings of cruise ships/ferries.

Replace passengers with economic migrants in Libya. Head north. No problemo.
