Any destabilisation of the Turkish economy will likely lead to a worse refugee flood into Europe than 2015.

Yes, since Erdogan already threatened to release millions of refugees into the west if he didn’t get his safe zone.So either deny Erdogan his safe zone and he releases refugees or harm Turkey economically and they release refugees.EU should strengthen borders now. https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/05/erdogan-ill-let-syrian-refugees-leave-turkey-for-west-unless-safe-zone-set-up The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, is threatening to “open the gates” to allow Syrian refugees to leave Turkey for western countries unless a controversial “safe zone” inside Syria is established soon Which do you think isn’t possible? 1.Trump introducing punitive economic tariffs on Turkey, like he has already on Europe, China and Mexico (Until they buckled and negotiated) 2.Erdogan using refugees as a weapon when he does not get his way, like he threatened to do last month. | ||

Even the EU did a refugee swap deal with Turkey in 2016 to slow the flow no? How about don’t support rebel groups and don’t invade the Middle East in the first place.Radical idea. | ||

A large amount of us I wager we’re against the Iraq and Afghanistan ventures in the first place, as said, we lack a time machine to go back on such things. If you do destabilise a region don’t fuck off and leave your former allies high and dry, seems pretty simple to me. | ||

I thought he was an idiot, but it looks more and more like he's actually batshit crazy. Why not both? He's also likely the most easily manipulatable president the US has ever had. Now what are the odds he does a full 360 on Turkey and the Kurds? | ||

So what should I be more afraid of? Refugees in refugee camps or isis fighters currently in prison camps? | ||

However, this also means that in my opinion, it is now the US's duty to clean up their own shit. You fucked up that region, now fix it, instead of telling europeans to deal with the fallout of your wars because you start your wars closer to us. And yes, that is hard and expensive to do. So maybe think about that the next time you think that a war would be an easy solution to some problem. Don't break stuff, and you don't have to fix it. Imagine if the EU suddenly decided to completely fuck up mexico and turn the whole country and everything in the surrounding area into a decades-long civil war. And then we just decide to leave and tell the US to deal with it. | ||

Sadly, the US likes to elect warmongering presidents, and actually rewards their warmongering with reelection. People here were already against the Iraq war in 2001. And as it turns out, the whole thing was a horrible disaster in Iraq, then lead to the rise of ISIS and the horrible disaster in Syria. All of that could have been prevented by simply not invading Iraq in 2001. And Afghanistan isn't looking a lot better either.

Its my personal belief that the decision to attack Iraq, has directly led to the election of Trump and the vast majority of the turmoil we see today. it created a very long chain of events that led to millions of displaced arabs & muslims, fueling the anti-immigrant sentiments we are seeing today. | ||

Indictment: https://s.wsj.net/public/resources/documents/U.S.v.LevParnasetalIndictment.pdf At and around the same time PARNAS and FRUMAN committed to raising those funds for Congressman-1 PARNAS met ith Congressman-1 and sought his assistance in causing the U.S. government to remove or recall the then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine. PARNAS's efforts to remove the ambassador were conducted, at least in part, at the request of one or more Ukrainian government officials.
