I am Gaius.

Germanicus is here.

We've been despairing that we don't know the whole game.

We've seen it before.

The pattern engaging America to fight Europe's wars.

We turn now to another subject, which is also weighing on Europe, but it weighs on the U.S.,

it weighs on all the North Temperate Zone, which is the great migration underway from the

global south to the global north. Maybe it's climate, maybe it's

just the epoch for migration. But again and again, you see the pattern, and so you want to

respond to it. There's been a tragedy in Australia. We don't have all the facts. We have enough to say that this is not going well. There are many dead, a lot wounded. It appears to be, at this point, a terrorist operation. That's all the Australian authorities have said. We have also an incident in Providence, Rhode Island. We don't have the

facts. We also have incidents these last days of the Somali refugees who were invited to America

by several presidents and sustained themselves in several states, Maine and Minnesota.

We also have news from Europe routinely about disturbances in the body politic because of violence and migration,

because of people turning their pockets out saying we can't afford this.

France watches migrants leave its beaches and cross the English Channel, and the UK says,

cut it out. Italy is weighed down because one of its out islands is very close to North Africa, and that's the transit route for the

human smuggling. I could go on. There's no reason to belabor it, because what we have is a

uniform problem for developed, sophisticated, rich nations who do not want to pay for what's going on.

Sometimes they can, sometimes they can, but they do not want it.

And they're watching what is going on by Emperor Trump and his promise to the American people that he will enforce the law.
