      The simple truth many have come to realize is a European leadership that insists mass migration is not a problem and head-in-the-sand denies the critical importance of cultural unity and shared identity for the maintenance of stable and liberal democracies is a much clearer and present danger than Russia.

      War a nation can recover from, but from an erosion of cultural unity and shared identity it cannot.

          Their experiments in cultural erosion are merely a few decades old, and accelerating only recently.

          You're basically pointing at a smoker who started a year ago and concluding because they don't have cancer yet cigarettes don't cause cancer.
