General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

There is more to this than just IMMIGRATION - Putin is once more trying to divide Europe by throwing a spanner inside the wheel. In July this year the dictator of Belarus Lukashenko dragged a British journalist out of an Easyjet flight - the consequence was that most airlines were banned from flying to or over Belarus. The only countries that still fly there are Turkey and Russia. This latest wave of immigrants are coming to Belarus via Turkey. The Belarus President's best mate is Putin and his mate is Erdogan. They are pushing this agenda as they believe it will lead to the EU to bend on the no flight policy and in parallel because it is an issue that sows discord in Europe and can make it weak internally - which is what Putin wants.

So there is always something more going on than just immigration.
