However, he could have suggested returning them to where they could safely reach the land they left, which would not have been hard, OR, taking them to a barren land where they could be kept safe, fed, sheltered and housed ( till they decided to go back home ). The Australians have proven the second option is viable and works in stopping more coming. He also said the invasion of Iraq was the worst mistake in US history. So, right on both counts then. Must be on a roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaidream Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 For once, I actually agree with Mr rump. Merkel allowing unfettered immigration into Germany has caused a crisis in Europe and is partially responsible for Brexit and if it continues it will cause the break up of the EU. I see Trump as sitting down with Putin of Russia and coming up with a realistic plan to end the Syrian war. The Us and Russia working together providing safe zone for refugees; money from the Arabs being used to rebuild Syria and supporting the in place refugees. As far as the status of Assad- Trump will say who cares- unlike Obama who insisted he had to go. Russia will be more inclined to work with Trump who they believe they can deal with than the Chinese. As far as Germany and Merkel- I will be surprised if she can be re-elected but then again most people didn't believe Trump would be elected.

JemJem Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 The biggest loser of the Syrian refugee crisis, along with many of the refugees, is Turkey. Especially anti-Erdogan people. Demographically, politically and securitywise. The mostly-uncontrolled move of millions of refugees into Turkey is going to be very costly for us secularists.

dunroaming Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I think that Merkel did make a catastrophic mistake. Should have been checks and balances instead of just opening up the borders. I am sure this will have consequences for her in the future and damage her chances for re-election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khun Han Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 And Trump aint wrong. Merkel has upped the terrorist threat to Europe exponentially with her stupidity. And far worse, she's trying to bully the rest of us in Europe, through her EU goons, into sharing the threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is doubting that the influx of migrants has caused a plethora of brutal terrorist atrocities and sexual assaults(do you really want a list?!)in Germany. What is being debated by both political sides is whether this mayhem is the result of the migrants ideological and cultural background and behavioral norms, or if the violence is a reaction from the migrants to a right wing element in the host nation that is perceived to be unwelcoming and thus caused the migrants to behave in an antisocial and violent fashion. And further to cure the violence, should the host nation continue to import the group responsible for the violence or should it control media reports and crack down on opposing views on the internet and hope the violence magically goes away.

Merkel has not allowed 'unfettered immigration' to Germany. Anyone linking asylum seeker access to the UK to Brexit is misinformed, that includes the 'leave' propaganda and Trump. Numbers of asylum seeker access to the UK is a sovereign country decision, not dictated by the EU. The US has constantly declined 'safe zones' in Syria as it was estimated at least 15,000 US troops would be required on the ground; do you believe Trump would agree to place a significant number of troops in Syria or for example Syria would permit that number of Turkish troops to protect safe areas? Why would Sunni Arab countries engaged in a proxy war with Syria be motivated to financially assist the Alawite dictatorship of Assad to rebuild infrastructure, although they do provide billions to support refugees in places such as Jordan.

(86% of Germans feel save. Foreign press is just a limited view for all believing readers.) Our refugees did not harm anyone in my town. Some tourists are more strange in their behavior. By the way: dieing by car accident has a much higher probability. Edited January 17, 2017 by Aachen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't pay traffickers to take them all to America. Then, when the children were old enough they would have been expected to join the forces or other organisations to support the war effort.
