There is nothing more shameful about being European, than that we have made it possible for the world to “destabilise the continent” simply by pushing families of poor people across our borders and watching us immediately abandoned every professed value we claim. #r4today
If there had been any possibility we’d behave like reasonable humans when faced with a few thousand poor brown people pushed across our border by Belarus, this crisis never would have happened.
They can rely with perfect certainty on Europe’s self-defeating inhumanity. #r4today

We're playing into Putin and Lukashenko's hands just like we've played into Erdogan's hands in the past. There will always be a few more thousand poor brown people they can push through to us. Only when we stop treating them as a threat will that not BE a threat.
In the mean time both sides of this pathetic display get to perform a show of strength and the people are trapped in between, sacrificed to the sanctity of our pathetic white European nationhood.
