    Bullshit. It’s pretty goddamn easy to solve - they could have rescued those people any damn time they felt like it, but they didn’t. They literally had a Greek coastal vessel shadowing that ship for hours.

    But they will spend billions searching for these five “upstanding members of society” - that they will do.

      The root cause of migrants fleeing their countries by any means necessary, like overloading a boat, which happens far too frequently, is not easily solved. You could easily argue that billions are spent on attempting to mitigate migrant issues on a yearly basis too, yet overloaded boats still keep killing dozens of people every year.
