The Syrian answered: “Yes. My friends and I went because we didn’t want to go to the army. And because it is easier to get a good job and earn money in Europe.”

The sad truth is that this is the situation but the Regressive Left will not accept this reality.

And the Press will bury this along with everything that contradicts the party narrative.

FFS this is not about Left vs Right. This is about Geopolitics.

Yes I can't help but want to bang my head against the wall anytime I see the "left/right" bullshit. I put people in two boxes: progressive or regressive. In relation to US politics there are progressives and regressives in both major parties. Progressives propose sensible solutions to be democratically decided on where regressives push their own agenda hard with little or no thought given to alternative perspectives.

We can talk geopolitics if you like but the decision process that lead to open door for Rapefugees comes out of this left/right divide.

Geopolitics: Turkey engineered the mass migration. In fact, it engineered the creation of Jihadist groups that masqueraded as Syrian pro-Democracy "Arab-Spring" protests in Damascus going back to 2011 and further back when ISIS was initially formed as an off shoot of al-Qaeda in Iraq.

Right/Left Politics: Decision to invite hordes of non-Secular refugees into the EU to form a new labor force rather than encourage EU citizens to have more kids through economic incentives.

Policy in the West is driven by PARTY POLITICS. That is the RIGHT-LEFT Rubber that hits the road.
