The refugee crisis is a byproduct of the wars that started with Arab Spring. The only reason refugees have been allowed in Europe is because the Leadership generation refuses to implement the overwhelming preference of the European citizenry (turning the refugees back) because doing so would contradict the deeply held beliefs of that generation. Thus the solution that was always the only viable answer, never gets implemented because the EU leaders are deeply biased against that option.Another Guest wrote:He drew the US and NATO into Afghanistan and the neocons used 9/11 to justify a war in Iraq.

As for the Arabs, the invasion of Iraq destabilized the country and left the Sunnis on the rocks. That despair lead to the creation of ISIS.
Bin Laden won.

The press is now calling Trump Putin's poodle. The British press is far worse than the American press. The British press is convinced that Putin has something on Trump and is blackmailing him. The British Press hates Trump more than the American. I didn't think that was possible.Trump supporter wrote:The U.S. is 'winning' the trade war, says Mohamed El-Erian

The new hashtag on Twitter is #Putin's Poodle. (Not that I use any form of social media myself.)
My favorite SJW phrase is "How dare you!" Three years ago a pathetic SJW started saying that to me during an argument, and I had an even more pathetic Irish co-worker use the same phrase whenever he disagreed with anyone or was spewing about America. Now, every time I hear someone say 'How dare you!" I know they are wrong about whatever they are trying to say.
The latest headline from the tabloid rag The Mirror is "How Dare you!" It was about Trump 'daring' to sit in Winston Churchill's chair at his former home. I burst out laughing when I saw that headline.
Does anyone here really believe Trump is being blackmailed by Putin. I hate Putin, but I don't think Putin is that clever. Dishonest, deceitful, yes; but that clever? No.

All evidence points to Russia attacking us with chemical weapons, murdering hundreds of people on a passenger plane, invading a sovereign country, enabling the gassing of Syrian children. A true tyrant.
And Trump stands there and says his security services are to blame for bad Russia relations. Absolutely outrageous, shameful and borderline treasonous. The president was walked all over in that press conference and looked very weak and out of his depth. Americans should feel humiliated by this.
I really cannot understand the nutjobs who defend Putin and Trump. What on earth makes you believe they are acting in your interests?
Hopefully the democracy and controls on power in the US will prevail.
