  1. Everything always has a countermeasure to it, if some countries like Russia want to use migration as a weapon, there's bound to be a pushback to that, regardless of the moral status of the pushback. If push comes to shove, EU countries will enact fortress Europe to make it very difficult to get in, likely with the aim of passing on the burden to the countries that are trying to push migration in and then giving them less of an incentive to want to do so as it ends up being costly to them, especially countries like Belarus. Morality in all this can only go so far, it's all well and good trying to do the right thing but EU countries only have so much resources to support immigrants, and when some countries are using it as a political weapon, maybe going after those countries in question in a more forceful way is needed, especially with Belarus and Russia, this is after all war we are talking about and some countries are using migration as a political tool to try and destabilise regions, so either fight fire with fire or go after the countries that are trying to create instability, because clearly the current policies are not working and are making us in the EU look soft, and as much as I don't like the rise of the far right, they might put a lot more pressure on tougher boarder controls and migration rules. But seriously, we can talk about the morality of the situation all we want, but with migration being used as a political weapon, it feels more like a war than an issue of migration, and we can talk all we want, but the only real solution is to go after the source of who are creating the problems, and in the meantime, whiles we waste time trying to figure out what to do, this migration problem is fuelling the far right which could add to the instability, so I think much tougher and stricter policies on migrations and boarder controls are likely needed.
