Greece’s Impending Humanitarian Catastrophe: Breaking Borders An emergency EU summit takes place today aimed at getting Turkey to help Europe stem the flow of migrants into the continent. The refugee crisis is reaching breaking point in Greece with tens of thousands of people trapped there and around 2,000 more arriving each day. Austria’s decision on February 19 to limit the number of people crossing its borders sparked the bottleneck, which escalated as other countries on the Balkan route into northern Europe followed suit. Now, the European Union has declared plans to formally close those borders to migrants. As the European Union dissolves into heated disagreement over shared responsibility, VICE News correspondent Milène Larsson visits a tent city that’s cropped up at the Greek-Macedonian border. She speaks to some of the 13,000 people stranded there and to overwhelmed aid personnel who are warning a humanitarian disaster could be only days away.- Geopolitics of Greece Throughout history Greece's rugged geography has given the advantage to the Greeks when defending their homelands against invaders. While the mountainous terrain has its military advantages, it also comes with economic disadvantages. It makes a unified Greece difficult as the central government struggles for authority. The lack of arable land combined with the lack of land trading routes, has forced Athens to rely on the Mediterranean Sea for trade. As a country with some 6.000 islands, Greece needs to upkeep an advanced military force to defend its very core - the Aegean Sea. The sea allows for the Greek islands and cities to communicate, trade and defend themselves. Greece simply has to do whatever it takes to defend its core. Thats why the country also need to control over the islands of Corfu, Crete and Rhodes to prevent invasions from the sea.

- Military food. NATO approved. MRE style. Greek MRE. This is some Greek military food a friend gave me. The cans hold a pretty nice meal. I like to gather this stuff and keep it just in case.
Please note, this MRE is used by paratroopers in Greece, 7 years have passed since i reviewed this so it might have changed. Greek MRE's don't need a lot of calories, especially since Greece doesn't fight outside of the country and the Greek soil is fertile enough to produce a lot of food in times of need. The good and sunny weather of Greece also plays a role so you won't see "heavy" MRE's here like Russia or France or US.
