European Union voted today to distribute 120,000 migrants/asylum seekers across Europe despite objections from Eastern European countries.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...652_story.html

This decision is *not* going down well in Romania, Hungary the Czech Republic and several other EU nations.

One has a very strong feeling this will not go well. Sending persons where they are not wanted or welcomed is bad enough, but then telling local government in essence they are now responsible for said persons healthy, safety and welfare is going to ruffle some feathers.

No, of course it isn't going to end well. Germany is pushing its agenda on the rest of the EU. I'd be pissed too. Those countries don't want those people and those people don't want to go to those countries because the handouts will not be nearly as good. Germany, Sweden and Austria need to take ownership of the gargantuan mess they've caused, put their money where their mouths are, and take every single one of the refugees. Including the millions more that will be coming in the next few years.

All this started because of Germany's stupidity.

Oh and sorry, when I said refugees I meant "refugees". I hope those countries have the sense to exit the EU now because that ship is sinking.

I think you, as an American, don't really have a place to tell any individual EU nation what they should or shouldn't do. Let's worry about our own southern border and refugees coming here

Germany and its bully negotiating style may get its comeuppance in another development, the Volkswagen debacle:

"Volkswagen employs some 600,000 workers. And the German government is a shareholder. “The dividends the government received from Volkswagen was cash money able to be used for new government programs,” he says. “That could disappear.” It’s not hard to see what unfortunate timing that would be for Europe, given the severity of the current refugee crisis."

VW Probably Won't Die

120,000 where are they going to send the other 880,000 coming this year alone.
Not to mention few million more to come next year.

I think you have no right to tell me what I can and cannot have an opinion about.

The problem is a whole lot bigger than 65,000 refugees. Multiply that number by 10-50! This is a world-wide crisis of epic proportions, without any clear, long-term solutions that will not cause even greater misery.
