Atlantico: Precisely. It's so stupid, it's quite baffling. As if the EU needs or can handle almost 100 million piss-poor, uneducated people now or in the foreseeable future.
As is the policy of paying Turkey for "securing" their borders to prevent floods of illegal immigrants stupid, when that is something *we* should be doing. I don't even comprehend the logic behind that decision.
What about we don't pay Turkey for sending Terrorists to Europe, and also we take in consideration them violating the NATO directives and taking down Russian planes? Seems like a plan to me...if we were to pay Turkey properly for their "help" we would be preparing a military expedition, not giving them freebies, but that is the way I see it, and I'm apparently ignorant.
Atlantico: With 3BN Euro I'm sure Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Italy and Spain could secure the southern borders of the EU just fine. Fuck Turkey. They're both incapable and unwilling to do anything about this, it isn't their concern to begin with. They're just siphoning immigrants into the EU willy-nilly because they don't care. Paying them won't make them care
.
Dunno about the other four but Spain doesn't need money, what Spain needs is greenlight to protect our own sovereignty and borders. But since Northerners live on the illusion that our borders are somehow not their borders we are not going to have that. So if we put a razor wire curtain and make a deal with Morocco so the immigrants jumping the borders are taken back to the Sahara straight away, we have them bitching. If we round them up in Detention until we make sure they are not terrorists, we have them bitching, if we don't give them designer clothes, halal foods and all that crap, Europe points us angrily and bitches. And If we had true representatives we would tell them to fuck off, but since we don't we can only bitch back.
Atlantico: Turkey currently illegally occupies an EU nation, pretends they never committed one of the most atrocious genocides of the 20th century, bats a blind eye to terrorist extremists such as ISIS and is the conduit through which ISIS sells their oil and finances itself and yet they think they can become part of the EU.. good grief. I think Merkel is batshit insane.
I don't care one way or another, we have all committed Genocides at some point in our histories. I care about the now, and that is that apparently Turkey can enter in the EU with less than a tenth of the requirements Spain had to go through to enter. And that they are trying to drag NATO to a war with Russia. Any answer that is not isolating them diplomatically and letting them sort themselves out is going to fuck Europe up, but hey that is kinda something Germans seem to love doing anyway so...
