Hypocritical Europe is Just Trump-Lite on Refugee Policy
Politicians in Europe are howling about President Trump's cruel and inept executive order on refugees, and comparing his scattershot treatment to Europe's which they argue is benign and in line with European values. Don't be fooled. Europe, if it can be said that there is such a cohesive entity, is full of efforts to curtail refugee and migrant flows in ways that (might even) make Trump blush. But for now, it is easier to take a holier-than-Trump stance than do what is necessary, both in Europe and Washington, to deal with the reality of refugee issues in the age of failed states: migrant flows are not going to end soon from all sorts of places and no one knows how to handle them. Europe's response is hardly a source of pride. To wit: • Germany, which opened its borders to almost a million refugees in 2015 and a 280,000 last year, is now deporting the newcomers at breakneck speed, especially from Afghanistan, which Berlin has decreed is a safe place to go back to. Sometimes Germany pays migrants money to encourage their exit. Chancellor Angela Merkel worked out a deal in which the European Union paid off Turkey to stop migrants from taking to sea to get to Europe. She has also floated the idea of banning burkas, the full body conservative covering of some ultra-conservative Muslim women. Even Trump hasn't thought that one up. • France's President Francois Hollande, whose opinion doesn't count much since he'll be out of power this year, has lambasted Trump for his refugee policies. He said Europe "must respond." In the meantime, his government blocked the borders with Italy to keep African migrants form coming north and arrested Frenchmen who have tried to guide them across the Alps. The top candidates who would replace him in this year's election have all taken tough stands on immigration. Conservative candidate Francois Fillon and nationalist firebrand Marine LePen are running on anti-immigration platforms. The socialist candidate Manuel Valls has said Europe should not accept any more refugees. He also suggested that full-body covering women's bathing suits should be banned. Only Emmanuel Macron, head of a new party, has expressed willingness to welcome more refugees. • Poor Theresa May, the British Prime Minister who rose to power atop the Brexit vote. Under public pressure, she had to criticize Trump, forgetting that the Brexit referendum was largely about with blocking immigration. Whoops, I meant controlling borders. Meanwhile, her government just reneged on a promise to accept thousands of unaccompanied minors languishing on the continent. • Denmark's Foreign Minister Anders Samuelsen called Trump's decision "to block people from certain countries" extremely "unwise." Wait! Is this the same Denmark that has restricted family visits of immigrants from Syria? That took out ads in Middle Eastern newspapers advising refugees not to come? That limited access of asylum seekers to court? The same Denmark that seized money and valuables from refugees in order to make them pay for the cost of processing their requests? • Parts of Eastern Europe have been more receptive to Trumpism. Some of their policies and attitudes presaged it. Poland (no refugees allowed), Hungary (pioneer fence-builder), the Czech Republic (keep 'em out), Slovakia (Muslims don't fit in) comprise an anti-migration bloc in Europe that shows no sign of compromise. • In 2015, The European Union pledged to resettle 160,000 refugees marooned in Greece and Italy, the first points of arrival for large numbers of migrants. Latest figure: 12,000 resettled. That didn't stop the Financial Times from lambasting Italy's Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni for not joining in the European chorus to dump on Trump. Gentiloni's quiet approach, the FT intoned, would hinder forging a "common European response" to the US president. Maybe the Italian has seen enough of Europe's common response to things-- like not keeping its promise to resettle refugees across the continent. The refugee conundrum is not a temporary blip on the screen of global problems. Just look at the longevity of conflict in the the roster of countries that Trump tried to block: Somalia, on and off warfare since the 1980's; Sudan embroiled in intermittent civil conflict plus endless dictatorship; Iraq, civil conflict for the 14 years since the US-led invasion; warfare into its sixth year in Syria, Libya and Yemen. Iran is a kind of outlier in this group, though Trump's ban was aimed at reminding everyone that the US labels the Islamic Republic a sponsor of international terror. So enough of this moralistic grandstanding and breast beating. The EU and the US should look clearly at international law and what it requires, either for people who have a "well-founded fear" of persecution back home or those fleeing warfare. These laws, enshrined as they often are in domestic legislation, need to be balanced against the capacity for Western states to absorb refugees--possibly millions-- from countries in almost perpetual crisis. Neither Trump's unthinking policies nor Europe's ad hoc solutions are enough to confront that inconvenient truth. -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.

How to know if you're dating a narcissist
[narcissism]Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica Someone who is grandiose, has a lack of empathy for other people, and has a desperate need for admiration and attention is often described as having Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD.) In Greek Mythology, Narcissus was known for his own beauty and was in love with himself. In reality, narcissism is when someone is obsessed with an idealised version of themselves, which they project to avoid facing their real, damaged self. Dating someone new can be hard enough, but it can be especially challenging if you start seeing someone who believes they are superior or special to everyone else — because that probably includes you. This can bring a lot of different issues to the relationship that can be damaging if you don't know how to handle them. We've looked into the research and found the traits you are likely to encounter if you meet a narcissist, or the warning signs if you're already dating one. YOU MAY FEEL LIKE YOU'RE CONSTANTLY BEING USED. Diariocritico de Venezuela/Flickr Psychologist Dr Neil J Lavender wrote in a blog post for Psychology Today that narcissists are notorious for having a sense of entitlement, and so will have no problem with using you for whatever needs they want fulfilling. This could mean borrowing your things and not returning them, including your ideas, and using your own worth to make themselves look better. THEY ARE ATTRACTED TO IMPRESSIVE PEOPLE, BECAUSE THAT HELPS WITH THEIR OWN SELF IMAGE. geralt / Pixabay Some research has suggested that narcissists are especially hostile during conflicts with their romantic partners, such as one study which followed 146 newlywed couples and assessed them six times over the first four years of marriage. This is because having a grandiose personality means they think they are the hero of the situation every time, which makes it hard for them to consider that they may be wrong. Another study looked at 190 couples at college, and showed that aggression between them was higher when a partner engaged in what they called "grandiose exhibitionism," or showing off. NARCISSISTS TEND TO SUCK YOU IN AND THEN ABANDON YOU. Allie Haroutunian / Unsplash Expect to be used by a narcissist and then dropped quickly and brutally. According to Lavender, they can make you feel like the greatest thing in the world when you first meet, but this will quickly turn into contempt when you inevitably disappoint them. This can lead to them completely devaluing you and your life, ending with them cutting you out of their lives completely. SEE THE REST OF THE STORY AT BUSINESS INSIDER
