** 22-Dec-2019 World View: Turkey's Erdogan threatens Greece and Europe with Idlib refugees

• Erdogan on Sunday

As I wrote yesterday, the massacre by Syria's sociopathic monster
president Bashar al-Assad, is trying to complete the job begun by his
father Hafez al-Assad and exterminate the 3.5 million Arab Sunnis in
Idlib province. The warplane attacks by Syria and Russia have
escalated sharply in the past couple of weeks, and Syria's ground
forces are now in the fight.

In a speech on Sunday, Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan said
that 80,000 refugees are headed for Syria's border, and that this
number is expected to increase substantially.

Turkey already hosts 3.7 million Syrian refugees. Erdogan on
Sunday said that Turkey cannot handle a "new refugee wave" from
Syria, and that the new influx will be felt by Greece and
"will be felt by all European countries."

In his speech, Erdogan said that Turkey was the most generous country
in the world in providing humanitarian aid and hosting the
oppressed. He pointed out that rich countries had promised financial
aid in the past, but have not met these commitments.

The following excerpts are from a machine translation of his
speech, which is in Turkish:

"We are looking at the action rather than the
promise. ...

It is clear that there is no solution to the problems of refugees
with symbolic sums. As a country that has suffered a lot of words
that have not been fulfilled before, we are looking at the action
rather than the promise. We will follow the decisions taken in the
next stage and will endeavor to implement them. In particular, we
will continue to tell Western rich countries that the sea is now
over and that it is no longer possible for them to escape the
refugee problem. ...

Somebody is doing just words. ...

Our brother Idlib on the fleeing 80 thousand from the bombardment
began to migrate towards the borders of our country. If Idlib
people for atrocities will increase this number even if it does
not come to an end, in this case Turkey will not bear alone the
migration burden. negative repercussions of the raid will our
exposure, especially Greece will be a subject it will also feel
all European countries."

Never again never happens.

..oh well.

[Not woke]

After suffering through decades of illegal immigration in America; watching my neighbors be victimized by illegal immigrants, seeing the local school become a multi-lingual 'woke' fiasco unable to even protect the students from sex attacks and violent beatings from the children of illegals, and being told at the local ER that the minimum wait to see an ER doctor was two-hours (because the ER was filled with coughing and vomiting illegals), I am glad to see Europeans being overrun with third world migrants. Embrace the suck.

I was quite surprised to read this; its not the image that an outsider has of parts of America.
In both the 2016 UK referendum and the recent UK elections Brexit was about immigration. Boris could never have got a Thatcherite type majority without this wind at his back. Its the unspoken elephant in the room.

It's the holier than though attitude of the average Euro than angers me. Americans are just racist rednecks unworthy of having either an opinion or a country. Now, with just a fraction of the migration America has been burdened with, the Euros are freaking out and electing Nazi parties, burning down refugee centers, etc.


Karma.

But America(ns) LIKE everyone to think we're redneckie dangerosos, desperados, diphtherianians (whatever the words are!), who string up all our "undesirables", 'cuz that's whatcha DO with undesirables, 'cuz it keeps them over THERE and us'ns over HERE, and,... and...

...and what nonsense. There's the same proportion of unthinking goobs over there as there are over here, and the thinking ones just chucked out the UK Libs, and will EVENTUALLY get around to Merkel's cankles and that french Macaroon,.. and their various "allies".

I do have to agree with you that's it's a bad idea to vote in Nazis, though. Quite right on that count!

We live in a world where stupidity is glorified. The de facto
leader of the Democratic party is a young girl whose initials are AOC.
AOC is one of the stupidest people on the scene today. It's amazing
how every day she says something incredibly ignorant about economics
or the world. It's like every day she has to struggle to find a way
to be stupider than the day before, to prove to her acolytes that
she's still stupid enough to be worshipped, and not intelligent enough
to be hated. We know that SAT scores have been falling sharply for
decades, and that colleges no longer teach anything but women's
studies and sociology, and we can see the results in the stupidity of
AOC. The only people who are stupider than she is are the people who
follow her.

The same kind of thing is true in other countries, and is probably
true in China as well. It's no wonder that the world is headed for
World War III, in view of the stupidity of AOC and the Democrats who
worship at her feet.

Boomers live in a world where they are loathed and are useless except
to be humiliated and defrauded by these people. And if the Boomers
tolerate that, they're still headed for a world of World War III. For
any Boomer thinking of exiting, I recommend the Peaceful Pill Handbook
by Philip Nitschke <https://www.peacefulpillhandbook.com/> . There's
nothing to be gained by sticking around. Fortunately for all of us,
Trump is sticking around and preparing the country for the war with
China, despite AOC/Pelosi's crapfest.

Applying this reality to Boeing, I think it's possible that David
Calhoun will do better than Muilenberg. The way the generational
cycle works during the Crisis era is that the leaders are young,
stupid people like AOC, but every time there's a crisis, they learn
from it. It's like they're starting from a blank slate about how the
world works all over again. By the time the generational crisis war
ends, they've learned anew how the world works, and they've magically
turned into the generation in the same template as the Silents that
AOC and her acolytes loathe.

So that applies to Boeing. It's no longer just a few stupid Gen-Xers
making decisions at Boeing. Today, they have to answer to the FAA and
to regulators around the world. This is a completely different
situation for Boeing, and I expect the new management to do better.

[Trevor]

I expect future generations will laugh at our stupidity: "Oh, my God, how could you not have seen China was going to attack us? It was right in front of your face!" If I make it through, I'll be quite willing to answer.

It never ceases to amaze me the kind of following AOC has. She's younger than I am and a freshmen Congresswoman who somehow managed to obtain great influence in the party. Sometimes I feel like the public is aware something terrible is over the horizon, even if we don't recognize it on a conscious level. Climate change is easy because you can amplify your fear with self-righteousness and denounce anyone who dares to disagree with you.

Might sound a bit too cynical, but "never again" never meant a damn thing, today or in the past. Atrocities and genocides abound throughout the world, with justice or even remembrance of them elusive.

Merry Christmas, John. Thank you for your integrity and insightful analysis.
