Turkey has a formidable lever in its hands: by controlling the border with Syria it is able to send weapons to terrorists one way and, as a result, receives refugees that then get sent to Greece.
It may sound blasphemous, but the only proper solution would be to intervene militarily in... Turkey, nowhere else. The EU should depose Erdogan with the help of Russian forces (am I being ironic?), but that's never going to happen, since the EU is nothing more that the political arm of NATO.
Is it a coincidence that the EU and NATO both have their headquarters in Brussels and that Turkey is part of NATO? European media use 'human rights' as a smokescreen to cover the real reason for 'humanitarian wars', while ignoring the fascist/terrorist Erdogan regime.
A couple of recent examples:
- Last January, two famous journalists, Can Dundar and Erdem Gul, were arrested because they published a video showing Turkish intelligence sending weapons to Syria;
- On March 4th, Zaman, the highest selling newspaper in Turkey, was closed by the government and when it reopened the next day it had a pro-government head.
Although these facts were mentioned by the western media, journalists could have contextualized them better. Since Erdogan is the most important person in the world right now, in a negative sense, the media should have affirmed that it is immoral for the EU to come to terms with a regime that feeds terrorism and represses its opposition.
Instead, to complete the mad-house that is western media, Russia was to be blamed for the arrival of refugees, turning reality upside-down. The media lied, with the help of an ignorant, forgetful public, claiming the refugees started leaving Syria after Russia's intervention, which is not true.
Europe is going the wrong way, and European mainstream journalists are corrupted by the USA. We should join forces with Russia, not Turkey. Let's hope Russian pressure over western-backed terrorism will bring an end to the EU-NATO alliance.
After the demise of this financial-plutocratic conglomerate, the EU can be reformed, even change its name, without falling into the arms of right-wing extremism. We need European collaboration, an organization that could bring peace, we don't need agreements with an Ottoman Devil.
Birds of a Feather. The Saudis, Turks and EU/NATO have all placed their heads out on the Chopping Block, as has Obama. It matters not to them how many people get hurt along the way, not even their own. It's just a game to them.
Power has a way of making the holder of it oblivious to danger. The holder's never realize, until too late, just how bad they screwed up, becoming in the end, just a fancy horderve for the Monster that is Power.
