Latest Blunders Of European Foreign Policy

Posted: 9/11/2015


The Refugee Crisis


Why did the European countries threaten to punish airlines and probably ship operators with fines if they carried refugees to Europe as reported? Most of the harrowing losses of lives in the Mediterranean Sea would not have happened if would be refugees just boarded a plane or a ship to Europe for a few hundred dollars.



Why did the European countries not do more to establish and finance safe zones for displaced or internal refugees in Syria? Why did European countries refuse to intervene more forcefully in Syria to get rid of dictator Assad? Because of Putin?


Why did European countries not do more to establish and finance refugee camps in neighboring countries?


Why did European countries not allow for refugees to apply for asylum closer to the areas of conflict like Syria or Afghanistan?


Really Bad Iran Deal


Germany, France, and the United Kingdom are guilty of repeating the appeasement of Munich 1938 called officially “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action


It is just beyond incomprehensible that these three, major  European countries became complicit in this naive and stupid deal.


If any of these foolish European politicians had any vision they would have insisted e.g. that Iran first signs a peace treaty with Israel since Iran claims to pursue nuclear power for purely peaceful reasons. In particular I blame the German foreign minister Frank Steinmeier, who I think is a really dull knife in the kitchen drawer.


Abandoning Afghanistan, Iraq, And Libya


It’s bad enough if a socialist community organizer in the White House withdraws all troops in a hurry from these hot spots. For the European countries it was another abject abdication of responsibility and an enormous complicity in foolishness.
