Europe Discerned Who Is a 'Real' Refugee, Finally
According to Politico (via RT), Germany and Poland are keen on sending 'able-bodied' Ukrainian men back to Ukraine. This sudden policy shift conveniently arrives just as Ukraine faces critical manpower shortages, making one wonder about the timing. Wasn't Europe's embrace unconditional? Remember the fanfare? The 'open arms' policy for Ukrainian refugees stood in stark contrast to the demonization
and outright rejection of countless asylum seekers from Syria, Afghanistan, and Yemen—countries whose destabilization often had a Western fingerprint. This selective compassion raises questions: were those 'refugee welcome' signs in German train stations for genuine humanitarianism, or for geopolitics? Apparently, some refugees are more 'European' than others, and their usefulness expires.
