@Terry The simple easy question would become: "Okay so why aren't you removing them?"
It's a funny game. A government that claims powerlessness is basically inviting their subjects to ask why they don't just rope them and try their own hands at it, and the only alternative is to admit they're malevolent shits with a shitty genocidal agenda, which ALSO invites questions of legitimacy and new management.
Anyway one day for no reason at all, Europeans will probably do things.
