European leaders should have learned long ago that once you pay the danegeld, you never get rid of the Dane. This will just encourage Erdogan to send more “refugees” to Europe, in order to squeeze more jizya from the foolish and self-deceived dhimmis.
“EU to fork over another €500 million to the Turkish regime to stop migrants,” by Arthur Lyons, Voice of Europe, March 8, 2020:
The European Commission is currently preparing to hand over an additional 500 million euros in aid to Ankara to help with so-called “Syrian refugees” to ease growing tensions with the increasingly belligerent and unhinged Turkish regime.
As more and more reports come out, however, it has become increasingly clear that very few of the migrants who are attempting to cross into Greece from Turkey are actually Syrian.
Less than two weeks ago, CNN Greece reported on 252 persons who were arrested trying to illegally cross into Greece from Turkey. Of those who were arrested, 64 percent were Afghani, 19 percent were Pakistani, 5 percent were Turkish, 4 percent were Syrian, 2.6 percent were Somalian, and those from Iraq, Iran, Morocco, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, and Egypt comprised 5.4 percent of the arrestees
Despite the data, AFP learned on Thursday that the European Commission has prepared a new aid package of 500 million euros for “Syrian refugees” in Turkey, RTBF reports.
Apparently, the 500 million euros will ‘complement’ the 6 billion that already has been planned to be disbursed to the Turkish regime under the 2016 EU-Turkey agreement. The money will be used to finance programs implemented by NGOs to aid the 3.6 million migrants currently being housed in Turkey….

If common folk did this it would be called blackmail and land one in prison. But Erdogan does it and gets rewarded with hundreds of millions of dollars. Way to go EU

Lunacy, and it’s very common. So the E.U. is still backing the invasion, well, no one likes to publicly admit their stupidity.

Huh!?! says
The EU is insane. The EU will have to pay over and over again. Buying peace with islam will only last until they have superior numbers. Then islam will take what it wants. Appeasement does not work. In addition to the cliche of “insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results” there is “those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
Britain can only benefit from leaving the EU.
Peter35 says
EU insane? Well yes, this is just another example of moslems playing the west like a violin—and westerners just too stupid to understand it.
Lilith Wept says
This is showing Turkey and the entire Islamic world how weak Europe is! And we all know what Islam does when it senses weakness!
It redoubles it’s efforts to Islamify that people…..
That it’s money ( and will help pay for more jihad, terrorism and Civilization Jihad around the world and could be considered jizya ( and adds to the financial burden that Islam is causing Europe) is just the cherry on top for Islam and Turkey.

Rufolino says
Correct, and it’s almost unnoticed.

Paying out this money to Turkey is definitely like paying protection money to a mafia type gangster when you are handing it over to a scumbag like Erdogan. It’s buying a little peace for a while until the gangster calls again. Off this topic, but yesterday here in Australia, in Kew, a suburb of Melbourne, a man stabbed two people to death and was then shot dead by police. It took ages, as usual, for the name of the killer to be released, but I, and I’m sure most people, thought, someone stabbing people like this, sound like there’s a good chance it’ll be a Muslim terrorist attack. I checked on the reports of the attack this morning. The name of the man who did the stabbings was Mohammed Ibrahim, 35 years old. The stabbing happened in the morning and, many hours later, I thought I’d look it up and see if any details were being released. One report mentioned something about how this killer was going on about how ISIS were after him or some such thing. Who knows, maybe insane, but yet another Muslim murderer, like many other such attacks out here in Australia (I can think of two such Muslim stabbing rampages in Sydney, a recent one in Brisbane, etc) and everywhere else in the world. This morning, a day later, I notice that this attack has not had a mention in the news at all. Maybe, these types of incidents are becoming just so common, but I was surprised that it didn’t even get a mention on the radio news today.

“Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute”
This quote relates to DOLLARS and cents, not EUROS and cents…
…unfortunately.
DVult says
Exactly. They should have 1. Cut off the 6 billion and any other money sent to Turkey and redirected it to Greece for border defense. 2. Started repatriating Turks back to Turkey especially imams and other spies. 3. Booted out or at least suspended Turkey from Nato
SAFI says
Yes, start expeling the Turks. Tell them to pack their shit and seek asylum in Turkey. Priority should be given to rape gangs and other violent criminals, I’m sure Erdowank will be thrilled to have them in his country. Plus if the Turks remain in Europe for far too long they run the risk of being assimilated and he can’t have that, right? I mean he’s said repeatedly that assimilation is a crime against humanity. So let’s send them all back to Turkey to protect them from that terrible fate!

my sentiments exactly.this capitulation in the name of whatever liberal theory further weakens europe and just like gangsters and thugs the extortion will never stop .
weep for europe.
GreekEmpress says
Can someone here at JW clarify something for me?
I have read that the EU is shelling out another 500 million + euros to Turkey, but I also read that Erdogan went to Brussels and the meeting was very frosty, no agreement reached. Did this happen before or after the EU shelled out the money? I may have missed something—
Thanks.

Tom says
Well now the Turks know that weaponizing migration and using it as a direct threat is a successful strategy to use each time they decide they need more money/Jizya from the infidel. Why is it that leftists always fold under pressure and capitulate to whatever threat they face. The only time they show any strength is to oppress their own citizens.
James Lincoln says
Tom says,
“…leftists always fold under pressure and capitulate to whatever threat they face. The only time they show any strength is to oppress their own citizens.”
Grimly true, Tom…
b.a. freeman says
Tom, the left isn’t folding under pressure. the only time they took power legitimately of which i am aware was in the weimar republic, and that was because virtually everybody in germany was socialist. the left won in russia because the russian government had collapsed, and the commies moved quickly enough to seize power. thus, the left has been teaching our children here in the west to be socialists (which is working out pretty well for them here in the u.s., since ms. clinton got the majority of the popular vote in 2016). in the meantime, the left is also guilting western nations into taking in large numbers of muslim refugees and jizyah-seekers; since a rough estimate of the number of muslims (worldwide, regardless of country) who are pious (pray 5 times a day, support sharia and want it to be the national law, attend mosque often, support suicide bombing, etc.) is ~10% of all muslims, importing muslims means that about 10% of them can easily be influenced to attack the host population. all the left has to do is cover for the ummah so that attacks may continue unhindered, and eventually, society will collapse, at which time the left can swoop in and seize power.
this time, i don’t think the left will go full commie; that didn’t work out so well in russia, china, or any other country whose dictators were stupid enough to try that approach. instead, they’ll do what the PRC has done, which is to go fascist, just like germany did. once the proxy army of the left – the pious ummah – has brought society to its knees, the leftist government can declare martial law, round up trouble-makers (like most of us who post here), and “re-educate” them with a 9 mm. slug in the back of the head. of course, i don’t think the ummah in the u.s. will put up with being rounded up (which is what the left usually does with its tools), so i see a civil war breaking out between the left and the ummah. the attacks by the left on the ummah will probably cause most of them, if not all of them, to go full-on pious, and every pious muslim will want to avoid judgement day by being killed while killing kuffar, so that allah will grant them immediate access to jannah. how many leftists do U suppose will be seeking death in that fight? i see the ummah coming out on top of that one, unless free people step in and throw the lot of them, leftist or muslim, out of the nation. and if that means that they go out feet first, too bad for them.
at this point, i want to remind every free person that a republic only works when most people obey most laws most of the time, and when everybody who has been accused is actually treated as being innocent until they are proven guilty beyond a shadow of doubt. thus, free people should obey the law as long as it is possible to do so safely, as that helps the republic survive. once the civil war between the left and the ummah starts (or perhaps when martial law is declared; it’s too early to tell yet), free people should jump in and fight both sides. with any luck, there will be enough free people in the military who take their oath to support the constitution seriously to stop the round-ups of innocents, and perhaps to even stage a coup to put the criminal leftists running the nation under arrest. if that were to happen, the criminal left and criminal ummah could be rounded up and be imprisoned for life (leftists) or deported (ummah).
we can’t count on that outcome, however, so i suggest that every free person set aside stores of shelf-stable food and water, and use the oldest stores so that they don’t go bad (so buy what U will eat). U will also need to protect your family, your neighbors, your community, and yourself, so i also suggest setting aside weapons (which should not be guns if they are illegal in your area). lots of things can be used as weapons, so do some research and testing, and protect yourself. it should never have come to this, but the hard-core left has been marching through the institutions for over a century here in the u.s. (and over 150 years in EUrabia), and they have been “educating” us to be untrained thinkers and followers. the bloodshed that is coming is on the hands of the left.

Excellent and interesting post, lots of food for thought…

Erdogan will be dancing a jig with delight at his success in screwing Europe.
Just like Hitler’s jig at the Fall of France.
I’m a European and this crazy new development makes me feel sick with humiliation.
Europe’s days are clearly numbered.

They are indeed, and EUrabians will only find out what’s happening when it’s too late to reverse the situation.
Justin says
Something is wrong here. These are migrants to Turkey. They are Turkey’s problem. It is obligated to contain these migrants within its borders or deport them, not off load them to fellow NATIO EU members.

QUESTION: Why is it that Europe must pay Turkey to host refugees there? There’s also millions of Syrian refugees in Lebanon which is a much smaller country with a much much smaller GDP and yet they have neither asked nor received any money from the EU to keep hosting the refugees there. So what is it that gave Turkey, a country that played a huge part in causing the mayhem in Syria, and still does… what is it that gave that country the impression that they are in a position to make demands!?!? When will the Euros finally decide to grow a spine? Why does Europe keep tolerating that behavior by Turkey’s regime?… And all the while Europe is treating that evil dictatorial islamist regime with the outmost politeness that regime and its media respond by calling the Greeks and the Europeans “Nazis” and “Barbarians” (just look at their statements from just yesterday)… When will the EU finally decide to teach Turkey a necessary lesson?
Peter35 says
NEVER. They’re too busy grovelling—as the entire west does to islam.
OLD GUY says
Big mistake Europe once again shows its weakness to the enemy. Europe is allowing the enemy to walk right in to their countries and are paying them to do so. Turkey and most Middle East countries are not our friends, the islamic plan is world domination.
No Muzzies Here says
The Turks will gladly accept the money. They may be Turks, but they know that a half a billion is a lot of money.
The European Union is a movement for the replacement of Europe by Islam.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Sure; why not? It’s not like it’s their money! You know, without the existence of the role of “politicians” and the infantilizing presumption that “someone else is in charge, and will handle any and all concerns,” people would be – rightly – far more scared and concerned with solving the problems that trouble them, on their own – and so would have to exert them selves to contact other, like-minded concerned citizens, to form into groups and mobs to rectify them! Without politicians to defer both our responsibilities and our rights to, stuff would get done!
