Turkey threatens to unleash all migrants on Europe

I really don't get how people can post such crap.

There are some users, like @BaconandSauce who think the Middle East is like some kind of rumble in the jungle, wanting to build a wall to keep the barbarians out and generally treating this like some kind of game, completely ignorant of the history, geo-political interests or just displaying a general caveman like thinking.

And there are users like @Howard and @hazzer1998 who think that every migrant/refugee is raping and killing but cannot show the corresponding million fold increase in crime rates.

I urge some of you to actually think about this :

I urge some of you to actually think about this :

As every single group of people in history, the migrants consist of good and bad individuals. Those attacks are no more frequent on the whole as attacks by the native population, the issue was exaggerate by the media and overall youd find that very few of these migrants are actually doing it.

The EU desires external control of their borders at the pressure points. If they want that they actually have to do something about the situation.

They are doing little to support Turkey/similar in this crisis (save Germany and Sweden) and have been pathetically slow to up their game and sort this sh*t out.

I guess the member states are spending too much time and money on bombing, making the situation worse instead

I urge them to think about this

Shameless plug of my TSR blog but it would just be so helpful if people could think and realise how destructive what they say is.

Actually EU member states (including us) have given Turkey huge amounts of money to help Turkey keep the refugees.

I also wonder why you feel Germany's and Sweden's current situations are something to aspire to. If anything we should look at them and do the exact opposite.

This guy had to escape Syria for fear of an arrest by the fashion police. That's a suit worthy of Ben Elton circa 1984.

Yeah. Cause this situation is hilarious.

Makes me laugh anyway. I just couldn't GAF really.

We've given a lot of money but not half as much as is needed and the aid has been cut. We aren't giving them enough money for turkey to assimilate them into society and thus they still want to come here.

Saying that we've left it all to Germany and Sweden alone is not the same as saying that their situations are something to aspire to. Quite the opposite. But as I've said many times before, their situations should not be cause to 'close the borders' it should be a wake up call to Europe that this crisis needs money and it needs strategy and it needs co-operation across Europe if we want to gain control over the borders.

On a scale of one to ten you score an 11 for naivety. Is that really your solution? Throw billions of European taxpayers money at Turkey in the hope that these so-called refugees will decide to stay there rather than continue their journeys to places like Germany?

Why don't you stop thinking so hard about this and go do some colouring in instead?

And there you go I disagree with you so this is your reply

I'm an extremist for thinking they should sort this out for themselves I suppose that's OK but I won't be crucifying people over it any time soon.

But word of advice if you shout people down as you do then you have no one to blame but yourself when people do turn to idiots like Trump.

I've said all along it's your kind of attitude that is doing wonders for the far right in Europe.

I urge some of you to actually think about this :

You don't understand, I'm talking about the bigger picture. The media exaggerated the incident, and more domestic rapes or sexual assaults occur every day compared to those with migrants.

Are you actually comparing the threat against the Jews in Europe (ie extermination in the Holocaust) to that of these migrants (vast majority blokes leaving their wives and children behind) who are already mostly out of Syria and living in Turkey/Lebanon etc? That's the Syrians.........half of these guys aren't even Syrian!

What's wrong with you? You're trivialising the Holocaust by comparing this situation of people already out of the danger in Syria to the horrors faced by millions of Jews, Gypsies, disabled etc who were getting exterminated. You shouldn't try to use actual genocides to manipulate people like that to further your social justice warrior agenda like that. It's vile.

Thank you for your kind words. I don't think it's a case of throwing money at turkey senselessly. It's a case of working out a plan across Europe to get a handle on this and that will require a lot of money. Why are you (presumably) so happy to spend 'taxpayers' money on bombing Syria and Iraq but not happy to spend it on sorting out any of the other aspects of the effort needed to really control this situation ? You are naive for thinking military action alone is sufficient.

It's true. People like her are the reason groups like Britain First exist.

You presume too much.
