The economic opportunists and thieves fighting their way into Greece (already violent and showing their true colors before even entering the country) piss me off almost as much as leftists. It's good to see Europe finally taking a stand and fighting back. Hopefully Turkey gets fucked with sanctions.
I know this isn't Trump related. Wondering what my fellow Trumpists and conservatives think of the matter.
Int'l institutions will "withdraw" from overriding sovereign Nations only when sovereign Nations kick them out! I do believe this is the main focus behind those that voted for Brexit?
Likewise US needs to get UN blue helmets OFF domestic soil entirely, and I'm not the only one here who thinks we should be out of the UN. Some go so far as saying we should be out of NATO, which I'm not totally on board with. Yet. UN constantly thinks itself entitled to strip our National sovereignty, and that's a battle we simply do not need. There may be some halfway measure that works with the UN, which might be worth trying first. However that gets resolved, we could then turn our attention to NATO; I think that's a more sensible approach.
Greece doesn't have nearly so much leverage to negotiate even just with the EU, let alone anyone else.
Affirmative action was a sham from day 1. Why motivate people to underperform? It does exactly what you'd think. We should be encouraging excellence, and raising our young to be heroes.
I saw a recent video of the Greek President at the border with Turkey and he was saying 95% of those attempting to cross the barricades were military age males, and most of those were from Syria. I'm not sure how you could tell if they were from Syria or AF but either way there's a point to be made that they should be fighting for their homeland. I bet the US would be willing to arm them, and probably even provide financing ... and training. Let them deal with Talibs and daesh, bring our boys home!
