Here's an idea. Thousands of Syrian refugees have been showing up on the Greek island of Kos. Greece, pretty much broke, can't afford to absorb them. (By the way, they've been showing up from Turkey, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if Erdogan is arranging the boats to move them to Greece.) The Greeks are sending a cruise ship to Kos, where the refugees will be processed.
It occurs to me that, once they're aboard the cruise ship, there's nothing to stop the ship from leaving port. It can transport the refugees to a wealthier country, one that can afford to give them the services they need. I'm suggesting Germany.
What will the Germans do if a cruise ship full of refugees arrives off the coast of Bremerhaven? Will they sink it? Not likely. They'll just refuse to let it make port. That's when the Greeks get out the rubber boats, and land the refugees on shore.
Merkel, of course, would be very unhappy — but she and her countrymen, who have been shafting Greece for years, deserve it. This scenario won't happen, of course, but it's fun to think about.
