It Will Only Intesify

Over the past few weeks European leaders have been showing their game faces to the world. There has been tough talk from everyone about slowing down, or altering, or transforming the so-called refugee crisis or migrant crisis or whatever the media calls the mass destabilization event. Countless meetings have been held. Borders have tightened and slammed shut. Migrants have been stranded. Boats are apparently being turned back.

Whether this showcases serious concern by European leaders or is simply a PR exercise meant to assuage an increasingly nervous, frustrated, and fearful population, some of whom have began voting in directions other than Left, remains to be seen.

Regardless, I cannot help but think that the chaos currently seeping into the Continent - the most recent Brussels attack being just the latest devastatingly violent example - will only intensify, irrespective of what EU leaders do in the short term. I hold out hope for peace and stability in the long term, but for the next five to ten years, I believe Europe will suffer through many more atrocities.

Perhaps I am too pessimistic or narrow-minded, but I simply cannot see many possible positive outcomes for Europe in the next ten years with anything connected to the migrant crisis. The one positive outcome I can imagine would likely take more than a decade to manifest, if it ever were to. However, this positive outcome would require the destabilization to intensify as well. So in terms of peace and stability, I fear it will be bad news all around. The mass destabilization will likely continue, and as it does, it will likely intensify.
