Greece and Its Border

       The Greek government announced that it has dispatched army troops to the Turkish border to aid in efforts to halt illegal immigrants to cross from Turkey into the country.  The President of Turkey announced that they can no longer control the millions of Syrian immigrants having absorbed over 5 million since the beginning of the war in that country.   The Turks began busing Syrians to the Greek border to pressure the EU to recognize the problem: again.
      The EU authorities recognize the Greek government's efforts to control the problem where it begins instead of waiting as the EU did before in 2014-15.  Now the Union realizes that the countries in the union have little recourse but to stem the flow across the continent.  Now that the UK is effectively out of the EU, that country's availability is off the table.  NATO will no doubt be forced to deal with the issue given Turkey's membership in the organization.
       Russya and its home grown dictator, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, are involved in supporting the Assad government in Syria as its troops descend on Idlip province to eliminate the last bastion of rebel forces concentrated there among the civilian population which is fleeing the combat for safety wherever they can find shelter(Turkey).
    It's not going to be solved anytime soon.
