Existential Issue for European Civilization
Spain allowed European security to be breached in a spectacular way. The same could happen here in Finland, in Estonia, in Latvia, in Lithuania, in Poland, or in Greece. We have to be super vigilant and crack down on human smugglers making millions from this phenomenon.
Spain will face European scrutiny on Tuesday in Brussels. I remain skeptical that anything substantial will come out of it on Tuesday, but I would be pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong. If this happened so easily now and without anybody taking meaningful action, it certainly can happen again at any time.
Similar shenanigans are used constantly by Turkey and Russia. This is nothing new. We have to put a stop to this. The political pressure from Europeans to do something is huge, so politicians will at least posture. Let us watch and see.
This is an existential issue for European civilization.
