Wake up, Europe: Russia is not the enemy

EUROPE - In the aftermath of the slew of horrific terror attacks in Paris last night, European nations must come to admit that, with their continuous and blind support of US foreign policy, they are sowing the seeds of their own demise. For more than a year and a half, Washington, with little concern for consequences, has used Europe as a tool in its futile attempts to batter Russia into submission. First in Ukraine, now in Syria — and each time Europe has sided with Washington against its own interests, it has suffered for it.

Islamic Surge Threatens Europe’s Survival

EUROPE - It’s a simple truth but apparently Europe’s elites can’t grasp it: letting Muslim “refugees” into a First World society means epidemic rape.
