Istanbul
These days, these 2 plans reverberate the 2 dominant in addition to fundamentally different "next moves" that European nations are taking. What has changed? The Balkan road has been de facto closed. Migrants are no longer flowing from Hellenic Republic to Macedonia. This footstep was manifestly needed, it was straightforward to realize it, in addition to it came truthful amongst the aid of some Visegrád Group cops in addition to soldiers – although I am certain that Republic of Macedonia would receive got been able to seal its border past times itself.
Today, European in addition to Turkish leaders are coming together inwards Brussels to hash out the part of Turkey inwards the migration issue. To evidence that they pass all their lives inwards a virtual Lalaland, Angela Merkel in addition to Jean-Claude Juncker desire to drib the mere formulation of the fact that the Balkan road has been closed from a statement. The persuasion that these unhinged idiots receive got de facto teamed upwards amongst the young Mark Zuckerberg to decide what tin live said on the world's largest social network – in addition to who volition live censored or banned – is frightening.
These people doing their best to deny reality as a whole should live relocated to a psychiatric asylum. Instead, their nations allow these nuts to play the part of the moderators of the global Internet.
Note that the development makes it increasingly obvious to an increasing number of people inwards the West that the Visegrád Group has been correct all along. But don't human face the mainstream Western media to laissez passer on the proper credit to the Visegrád Group. One argue is that the journalists aren't fair; some other argue is that folks inwards our countries aren't skillful inwards P.R. in addition to thus they can't sell their beingness correct fifty-fifty if they're completely right, completely vindicated, in addition to if the inquiry they receive got been correct nigh is real important.
Sadly, it's people similar Angela Merkel who are much to a greater extent than experienced inwards the modern propaganda warfare.
Now, inwards Nov 2015, some European apparatchiks receive got promised to pay €3 billion to Ankara for some Turkish efforts to aid the "refugees" in addition to cut down their influx to the European Union. Most of these apparatchiks haven't earned $100 inwards their whole lives past times doing some actual useful operate but they are real effective inwards wasting billions of their boyfriend citizens' money.
There exists virtually no conceivable realistic scenario nether which this payment of €3 billion could plough to a practiced investment. Turkey is an extremely problematic prospective ally. The Turkish regime fails to honour some basic Western freedoms such as the liberty of press in addition to their regime has exactly seized the top-selling Today's Zaman newspaper. Today's Zeman hasn't been fifty-fifty allowed to live published in addition to sold. ;-)
In the context of its hysterical in addition to unfair state of war against its Kurdish minority, Turkey didn't hesitate to squad upwards amongst (the every bit Sunni) Daesh. Turkey is buying the crude oil that Daesh has been stealing in addition to it has been helping Daesh (and Al Qaeda) inwards diverse other indirect ways.
Even if you lot ignore all the recent problematic acts past times Ankara, Turkey only can't live considered a reliable ally of continental European nations. The multi-centennial tape of our relationships is extremely bloody in addition to most of the sources of the incompatibility of these 2 civilizations haven't disappeared as of today.
About three 1000000 Muslim migrants are located inwards Turkey, waiting to movement farther to Europe. Turkey allowed them to larn inwards because it seemed guaranteed that they would solely rest inwards Turkey temporarily. According to the €3 billion contract, these people's see to Turkey should live to a greater extent than long-lived or Turkey should operate to send them dorsum to the master copy countries.
I recall that the persuasion is that the actual handling of the migrants is "real work" in addition to the European politicians don't desire to do whatsoever "real work" which they consider "dirty". So they exactly desire to outsource it to Turkey. It is an extremely unsafe excogitation to brand Europe existentially subject on Turkey.
To simplify things a picayune bit, Merkel's excogitation is to abolish Europe's external borders in addition to encourage Turkey to harbor an regular army of three millions Muslim migrants – potential invaders – who tin live sent to inundation Europe as presently as Turkey isn't satisfied amongst something. And indeed, Turkish president Erdogan is already escalating the demands. He wants to larn additional €2 billion on exceed of the previously promised €3 billion.
Czech president Zeman has protested the excogitation – fifty-fifty the already approved excogitation – to pay Turkey:
“I am strongly against giving billions of euros to Turkey for it to retain migrants on its territory,” Zeman told Czech Prima TV. “Turkey is non capable in addition to is non willing to do anything amongst these migrants, except, of course, if it wanted to pose them inwards jail, but it likely won’t do that.”Instead, Zeman proposed to hire Greece in addition to solve 2 problems at the same moment. Hellenic Republic should live paid to travel Europe's huge deportation center. This is a large slice of operate that Hellenic Republic tin do, Europe is willing to pay for, in addition to past times doing so, Hellenic Republic could live repaying its debt that it isn't capable of repaying otherwise.
I manifestly similar scenarios that solve "two problems at the same time". Except that I don't believe that this Zeman's proposal is an example. There are 2 main reasons for my disagreement amongst Zeman (I mostly deal amongst him on related issues):
- The Greeks receive got demonstrated a lethal overdose of laziness, fifty-fifty when it comes to the operate needed to bargain amongst the migrants. They are parasites who volition devour all the coin thrown at them – in addition to some additional coin – in addition to to do nix useful inwards exchange. The operate amongst migrants doesn't seem to live an exception at all.
- Even if Hellenic Republic were the province that volition furnish all the migrants – several 1000000 migrants – to their homeland, this service would notwithstanding live vastly cheaper than Greece's unusual debt.
Concerning the 2nd point, it is absolutely ludicrous to suggest that the deportation of the migrants would live a labor that could repay a large part of Greece's $350 billion debt. We're talking nigh the deportation of at most 2 1000000 migrants. The deportation is equivalent to a inexpensive ticket (because in that place doesn't demand to live whatsoever luxury) to a ship or some other agency of transportation. The toll of such a ticket is some $100 per person. Multiply it past times 2 1000000 in addition to you lot volition larn $200 million, non $350 billion. (You tin consider that I consider fifty-fifty the €3 billion payment to Ankara to live a clear overpayment as good – but non an insane one. For €3 billion, Turkey would live getting some $1,000 per migrant. That's plenty for a ticket plus a few months of feeding in addition to inexpensive accommodation.) Zeman must receive got confused millions in addition to billions if he suggested that these 2 amounts are comparable. Zeman is mostly reasonable inwards unusual policy issues but he likely drank also much final night.
The Greek debt of $350 billion is comparable to the coin you lot demand to guarantee a real (or relatively) comfortable life without whatsoever operate to all the 2015 (or 2015+2016) migrants (some 1 1000000 or 2 1000000 people) – but non their kids – some $175,000-$350,000 per person. It's non difficult to consider why the counting plant inwards this way: the Greek debt has accumulated because at to the lowest degree 2-3 1000000 Greeks receive got been fully paid at to the lowest degree 1/2 of their comfortable lives from the borrowed coin piece doing nix useful for some xl years. The coin you lot demand to do that is equal to the coin needed to feed 1 1000000 Muslim migrants throughout their lives. If you lot assumed that the European freeloaders solely alive inwards Greece, it's several 1000000 people in addition to their number volition live doubled when the Muslim migrants of 2015 in addition to 2016 are added.
Sorry to say but the protection of the external border is something that every province or empire has to do in addition to should do for itself. If the EU wants to human activeness as a province or an empire, it must only do this damn labor exactly similar every province or empire inwards the history did. This labor can't live outsourced in addition to it shouldn't live outsourced.
The U.S. of America of America receive got played – and, to some extent, notwithstanding play – an unusually enhanced part inwards the preservation of Europe's safety in addition to existential interests. Angela Merkel is basically proposing to promote Turkey to the part of a similar "savior of Europe" that the U.S. has repeatedly travel inwards the past. Apologies but dissimilar America, Turkey isn't sufficiently civilized, credible, in addition to ideologically in addition to morally around us in addition to thus it shouldn't live allowed to receive got this influence in addition to responsibleness over Europe. Some amazing blackmail would live an unavoidable result. Erdogan has already done so. If he doesn't larn the extra ransom he demands, he volition pose all the migrants to buses in addition to ship them to Europe (through Bulgaria), nosotros were told inwards a leaked memo. Do you lot desire to hire this guy as the Old Continent's bodyguard-in-chief? I don't. This excogitation is similar to vehement the peel off your flesh in addition to placing a colony of pubic lice to supersede the skin.
Hellenic Republic is closer to Europe but nosotros know how Hellenic Republic behaves in addition to it only can't live expected to bear responsibly anytime soon, either. It's the countries that are genuinely threatened that receive got to protect themselves. They receive got to perform the basic tasks that are needed for survival or they deserve to die. In the instance of the European Union, the expiry of this empire wouldn't stand upwards for whatsoever tragic trial because the private European nations volition travel the European Union's expiry in addition to most of them volition retake the responsibleness for their ain protection as presently as the protection is needed.
