The EU is winning this.
It shows that it goes by the humanitarian principles it claims to have.
Refugees fleeing from a humanitarian crisis are allowed to stay and to become citizens. People fleeing from a bad economic situation are not.
> But make no mistake this is a total disaster for the refugees, member state Citizens and the EU bureaucracy.
It's a disaster for the refugees. But the disaster is in Syria.
> The damage is so great that Even China and Russia have managed to claim the moral high ground and quit rightly blame the crisis on the EU itself and NATO adventurism in Syria.
You are confused. The US and Turkey are in NATO. But the EU has nearly no involvement in Syria. Besides taking on the fleeing population, that is.

Actually the "refugees fleeing from a humanitarian crisis are allowed to stay" only if they manage to cross the borders which EU still works hard to close: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO0IRsfrPQ4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO0IRsfrPQ4 There is a reason why people must pay the illegal boats to reach Europe across the sea.
