RE: Europe's Quid pro Quo

in #europe5 years ago (edited)

syria rwanda and singapore are 3 dictatorships that i approve of. these dictatorships are stable because they actually improve their peoples lifes and people give up their freedom in exchange for a good life... the predictability of their leadership allowed businesses to thrive... its still possible to live life normally even in syria (and yes even assad has support of most syrians), despite NATO funding terrorist groups in the country to destabilize it...

what europe does it ties the money for aid in military spending of armored vehicles, men and weapons to patrol the border, funding both sides of the libyan war and arming both sides. this money is better tied in education and healthcare. educating a population can also lead to destabilization of a dictatorship. dictatorships need not fall through war, and sudan and indonesia are 2 examples where there was no war.

i agree it would be best if refugees dont need to flee, but currently corrupt dictatorships allow natural resources to be extracted by foreign companies cheaply, while most of the population is farming and suffering under climate change. africa must take the next step in processing materials and actually letting the people profit from their rich natural resources. ideally through education. healthcare so people die less, which causes less babies to be born, which leaves more wealth and education to the offspring. also it does not help that countries like italy (through caporalato) enslaves undocumented refugees for farming purposes and then sells aggricultural products in africa for cheaper than they can produce (illegal trade dumping).

Good summary. Like in most times: The ones with power will abuse the ones without.

And no change in sight..
