Western media is in full-blown hysteria mode, asserting that Vladimir Putin is \u2018weaponising\u2019 the flow of migrants in an effort to destabilize upcoming European elections.<\/p>\n

Right up there with ridiculous claims of \u201clittle green men\u201d and \u201ctractor protests from Moscow,<\/a>\u201d Europe is now accusing Russia of fielding paramilitary forces and private mercenaries for the purpose of directing waves of migrants from Africa across the Mediterranean Sea and into the heart of Europe, an apparent effort to ratchet up the spring fever just in time for general elections across the continent.<\/p>\n

With no loss of irony, Western propagandists are disseminating allegations that the Kremlin is in the process of agitating those African nations that for so long suffered from European colonial rule, namely Burkina Faso, Mali, Sudan, Ghana, Central African Republic and Libya, a formerly highly developed country that was destroyed<\/a> by a U.S.-led attack in 2011.<\/p>\n

The Telegraph would have its British readers believe it has \u201cseen\u201d<\/a> intelligence documents detailing plans for \u201cRussian agents\u201d to create a \u201c15,000-man strong border police force\u201d comprising former militias in Libya to control the flow of migrants. Anyone hoping to review something like photographic evidence of this massive army would be advised not to hold their breath. Apparently, the thousands of Russian recruits are so technologically advanced they are invisible to spy satellites.<\/p>\n

While it stands to reason that millions of desperate refugees from these turbulent nations would seek shelter in Europe, or possibly even in the United States, risking a trans-Atlantic journey to reach the wide-open U.S.-Mexican border, Brussels simply hopes to deflect attention away from its immigration failures onto Moscow, a sham that is transparent to anyone with even a half-functioning brain.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not forget that we\u2019ve heard such allegations before.<\/p>\n

Without so much as a single apprehended trespasser, Moscow was accused of trying to foment a refugee crisis by transferring asylum seekers to its border with Finland, thus prompting the new NATO lackey to close its land crossings<\/a> with Russia in contravention of all diplomatic norms. The truth of the matter is that Helsinki was aggravating Russophobia to make the bitter pill of increased spending on Western-made (read: American<\/a>) armaments go down smoother for Nordic voters.<\/p>\n

Belarus, Russia\u2019s closest ally, has also been accused \u2013 once again, without a shred of evidence \u2013 of sending immigrants from the Middle East and North Africa to its borders with Poland, Lithuania and Latvia.<\/p>\n

The latest wave of Russophobia to strike the European capitals comes at a time when migration is set to be a key issue in general elections on the continent, as well as in the UK, where the drumbeat about Russian-sponsored migrant invasion parties resonates the loudest.<\/p>\n

An unidentified security source reportedly told the Telegraph: \u201cIf you can control the migrant routes into Europe then you can effectively control elections, because you can restrict or flood a certain area with migrants in order to influence public opinion at a crucial time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA failure to control the number of migrants coming to the UK is already seen as a major weakness for Rishi Sunak who is struggling to push through a scheme to deport illegal migrants to Rwanda to stop the flow of small boats across the Channel,\u201d the British daily continued.<\/p>\n

Sunak made \u201cstopping the boats\u201d one of his top priorities as Prime Minister, though a survey of British sentiment earlier this year showed that three-quarters of voters believe the pledge has not gone well<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since June 2023, over 52,000 illegal migrants were recorded as entering the UK, up 17 percent on the previous year. Data released last month revealed that the number of illegal migrants granted asylum in the UK hit a record high in 2023 as border guards waved through<\/a> thousands of applications \u201cin an attempt to clear a huge post-pandemic backlog.\u201d What is even more laughable, albeit totally predictable, is that the people doing the \u201cwaving through\u201d were British border officials, not secret \u201cRussian agents.\u201d<\/p>\n

With EU elections in June, the European parliament looks set to shift hard to the right, with migration already proving to be a key issue for voters. Who best to blame for this approaching debacle? Certainly not Angela Merkel, who is personally responsible for much of the mess. Once again, Russia serves as a convenient bogeyman for the blockheaded decision-making processes coming out of the EU, and we\u2019ve heard such accusations before.<\/p>\n

In February 2016, one year after Merkel opened the floodgates<\/a> to some 2 million migrants, many of them Muslims from Syria, U.S. General Philip Breedlove, Head of NATO forces in Europe, blamed Russia for working to exacerbate the refugee flows in a dastardly ploy to destabilize and destroy the EU. In a testimony before the House Armed Services Committee, he said<\/a>, \u201cTogether, Russia and the Assad regime are deliberately weaponizing migration from Syria. In an attempt to overwhelm European structures and break European resolve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nearly a decade later, the same reckless utterances are being made, although this time around the European public, more skeptical about \u2018Russia the enemy\u2019 narrative following the Nord Stream fallout<\/a>, is prepared to express its anger<\/a> at the ballot box come June during elections for European Parliament. Far-right populist parties are polling well in several EU countries, notably in Austria, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. This terrifies Brussels, as the threat of a right-wing takeover appears imminent, and Europe has only itself to blame for that.<\/p>\n
