Brussels says crisis has brought solidarity despite suspected ploy by regime in Minsk

11/28/21
The migrant crisis in Belarus has failed to undermine the European Union despite the suspected intentions of the regime in Minsk, the president of the European Commission has said. Ursula von der Leyen said it had created solidarity between the EU and the three countries on the front line, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia. She said international agencies were working on taking the migrants back to their home countries. Poland, which has continued to report attempted crossings of its border, said it was willing to help finance the return flights if the situation continued to ease. People’s lives were put at risk after they were “lured to the Belarus border under false pretences,” Ms von der Leyen said on a visit to Lithuania on Sunday. The EU will treble funding to the three countries for improved border security, including through drones and electronic surveillance, she said. “Lukashenko has failed in his bid to undermine EU unity and solidarity,” she said. “We are facing down his hybrid attack, all together. “But we are also well advised to learn the lessons. To deflect away from our internal problems, our opponents do not shy away from waging hybrid attacks on us.”


It seems Lukashanka's scheme to flood the EU with economic migrants that he has trafficked-in has failed.

After draining them of their life savings, you know the asshole won't pony up the money for their flights back home.

The EU’s pants wetting over non-white people coming into their countries certainly has undermined their credibility, actually.
 
Let Russia begin accepting Middle East refugees.

A huge country, yet it never accepts non-European migrants/refugees.

Going “but Russia” is not an excuse for the bad behavior of countries like Poland.

Russia has a significant non European population, lots of people from Central Asia work and live in Russia. Most people would associate central Asians with Mid East people more than European

Those people are indigeonous to central and southern Siberia.

Let's see Moscow begin accepting thousands of Iraqi's and Syrians.

Russia is much poorer and did not get involved in the invasion and overthrow of the Iraq government. Creating the conditions people want to leave. Europe and the US should take responsibility for the people whose lives they ruined

Sounding awful close to an alt reicher.
 
Depends on what Luka wanted. If one of the things he wanted (and it probably was) was for Poland and Lithuania to close the borders, he got it. Now opposition politicians can't sneak in and out of Belarus from their exile in Poland or Lithuania anymore.

Luka was able to troll Europe and get his neighbors to solve a problem, I am sure he considers that a win. Now he's stuck with the migrants though, not sure he wanted that.

I highly doubt Belarusians who were granted asylum in Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine would be sneaking back into Belarus. That would be at least a 30 year prison sentence if apprehended.

Telegram is much easier and much safer.

Lukashenka's human trafficking scheme failed. Fewer than 500 migrants made it to the EU via Belarus.

Now Luka has migrants he doesn't want, new Western sanctions he doesn't want, and he is now further indebted to Putin (whom he doesn't like).

So you do not mind Belorussians finding asylum in Poland, but Iraqis trying the same is wrong?

The Iraqis weren't interested in asylum in Poland. It was Germany or bust.

Poland was merely a transit country. Do try and keep up.

They wanted asylum in Western Europe, you accept that for Belorussians why not Iraqis?
 
You get to tell me what I accept?

Lol. The cheek of some Canucks is amazing.
It is based on what you have said in this thread and others regarding Iraqis trying to get to Europe

You appear to not like Iraqis crossing the boarder to seek asylum but accept Belorussians doing the same. Perhaps I read your posts wrong and you do not like Iraqis and Belorussians seeking Asylum in Europe, or you like both Iraqis and Belorussians seeking Asylum in Europe.

Could you clarify what your stance is just so I am clear

Are Iraqis and Belorussians asylum seekers ok or not

The EU nations stand strong to keep non-white people out!! 🙄

The hysterics countries like Poland have been spewing over this are truly disgusting.

Open your ears for once.

Germany has accepted and will probably continue to accept refugees who qualify for political asylum.

The Iraqi's being trafficked by Lukashenka are economic migrants. They are under no threat at home in Iraq.

Capiché?
