![refugees Immigrants with Fake Passports Allowed by Immigration Official [Video]](https://conservativefiringline.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Syrian-Refugees-Fake-Passports.jpg)
On Tuesday, the Center for Security Policy released a report by co-authors Jeff Nyquist and Dr. Anca-Maria Cernea offering evidence that suggests the Russian government is deliberately contributing to the world’s worst refugee crisis and exploiting its geo-strategic effects.
Refugees the world over fleeing economic hardship, natural disaster, and warfare have long looked to Europe as a prime destination. The impact of their mass migration there has, predictably, been deeply traumatizing for the host nations and their citizens. That is especially true of the hijra – the Islamic practice of migrating Muslim populations to spread the faith and its supremacist doctrine known as Sharia – that followed the outbreak of the so-called “Arab Spring” across the Middle East in 2011-2012.
What ensued in much of the European Union was a tidal wave of predominantly single, military-age young men, in numbers unseen there since the invasions of the Ottoman Empire.
It is an open secret that Vladimir Putin has sought to rebuild and exercise Russia’s influence for the purpose of exacting revenge against those he holds responsible for the “greatest catastrophe of the 20thCentury” – i.e., the fall of the Soviet Union. Preeminent among them is Western Europe and the NATO alliance.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Putin’s desire to get even can only have intensified with Europe’s imposition of sanctions against Russia for its seizure of Crimea and ongoing intervention elsewhere in Ukraine.
For example, the impact of the Russian offensive in Syria – much of it delivered by massively destructive air strikes – was felt quickly in the targeted areas and greatly exacerbated the human suffering experienced by those who lived there. As would have been expected by the Kremlin and its allies in Damascus and Iran, a sizeable proportion of them would flee and for most the destination of choice would be Europe.
Nyquist and Cernea argue that, in some measure at least, the massive flows of refugees out of areas as far-flung as Afghanistan, the Middle East, and North Africa are actually managed flows, either precipitated or encouraged by Russia – together with its increasingly aligned strategic partner, Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Turkey – with a view to destabilizing Europe.
As could have been reliably expected, the incessant influx of predominantly Sharia-adherent Muslims not only burdened European economic and social capacities. It has also served to exacerbate tensions between the EU nations’ political left (that has generally supported open borders and an unchecked refugee flows) and their political right (whose opposition to that immigration sometimes propelled it to closer ties with Russia).
Nyquist and Cernea quote the former Romanian Minister for Communications and Information, Marius Bostan, who said that the interlinked global refugee crises “should be regarded as a hybrid war operation against the West.” Its principal perpetrator is Vladimir Putin.
The concerns raised in this paper demand serious review by the U.S. and allied governments as they assess – and determine how to respond to – a variety of other Russian threats to the West across a strategic span of warfare techniques that is only sometimes kinetic.
Upon the release of this newest of the Center’s Occasional Paper series, Center for Security Policy President, Frank J. Gaffney said, “There is a growing sense that, as a result of the unassailable masses that have effectively invaded the European Union in recent years, much of the region – especially the nations in its west – are approaching a tipping point. Some may actually have been so severely destabilized that they are actually beyond the point of no return.”
“While there are, of course, multiple factors that have contributed to this dire situation, not least the policies of many of the affected countries themselves, it is important to examine Russia’s role and the degree to which it is, at least in the near term, a principal beneficiary of the mayhem now unfolding in Europe. The evidence in this regard presented by Jeff Nyquist and Dr. Anca-Maria Cernea is compelling. It demands careful consideration by the Trump administration and our NATO allies – apart, of course, from another of the wellsprings of Europe’s destabilization: Turkey. If validated, appropriate countermeasures must be developed and implemented with the utmost urgency, “Gaffney said.
