Trump pushes for 'safe zone' in Syria, criticises European refugee policy



No wonder the establishment dislike him. He wants common sense on foreign policy and not blind interventionism that has destabilized Middle East. Don't get me wrong he's not anti-war but knows that this regime change in Middle East is a disaster (is it done on purpose?) If Hillary wins things will be exactly the same because of her history and the people she is connected to like Kissinger.

There's nothing wrong with any of what he says there. Islamic immigration is damaging Germany and Sweden. Why should America, or any country, take in people who they know nothing about? Why shouldn't a safe place be created for those people near where they live?

Because America and several other countries are bombing the countries the refugees are coming from? That's a fairly good reason you should take in people.

For one thing, only 20% of the migrants are actual refugees. For another, why should Western culture be destroyed by a completely incompatible and alien culture?

Germany deserve the mass immigration. They sent millions to Brazil what goes around comes around.
I really like Trump. I just love the prospect of an american anti-establishment politician.

The European policy on immigration is deserving of criticism. It consists of Merkel proclaiming safe haven to anybody that shows up in Germany and then insisting the rest of Europe take in quotas to clean up the mess she created.

It WON'T happen in America.

Safe Zones are a stupid idea. For example, who will establish the safe zones, how would they decide who gets in, how any people would it accomodate, how would it be policed,how much would it cost, how long will it be there for?

And what the various rebel factions are doing, what their own government is doing and of course the coalition of foreign powers that are bombing their nation.

Are you unaware that America, Russia, UK, France and several other countries are currently bombing Syria? You don't think it says something that to "help" a nation people are prepared to bomb it but not help the people who'd want to leave?

They are bombing ISIS positions and oil wells .. And btw why should Germany, Sweden and other European countries suffer for things they are not responsible for ?

Lmao, the Daily Mail makes up and manipulates facts to promote sales. Just because they're not coming from Syria, it doesn't mean they aren't refugees.

So are we ignoring the various civilians that have died as a result of these campaigns or the hospitals that the russians bombed? Or that ISIS is spread across a huge chunk of Syria so lots of civilians are always going to be in the firing line unless they leave.

Possibly those Germany, Sweden etc felt the need to step up because hardly any of the countries would do anything other than bitch and whine about the thought of taking in people whose homeland they're bombing

Civilians die in war, they should stay and fight for their country.

What's your problem? Why are you so pro-isolationism? These people would be dead or living in very bad conditions.

And come on "civilians die in war", so they should just sit there and drop dead? What a principled person you are.

Why should the West have to solve all the World's problems when the rich Arab countries won't even help ?

Is that not true ?

I wondered how long before a "lol derply mail" comment would come alone. FactCheck picked this apart, and shows that 44,710 out of 222,965 in mid 2015 were Syrians - which is approximately 20%.

Those migrants have made people in Germany, Sweden, and Calais live in very bad conditions.
Safe spaces in war zones and trigger warnings on explosives. Let's go Tumblr-tactics.
