The UN has called the Syrian exodus the largest refugee crisis in the past 25 years. What comes next?
Since 2011, more than 4 million Syrian refugees have left (Reuters). Riots are breaking out throughout Europe. Some people are calling this crisis an invasion and 'economic terrorism' and some are bending over backwards for this humanitarian crisis. The Pope is urging all churches in Europe to take in/sponsor a refugee family and many churches are filled to overflowing. As temperatures rise, so does the desperation. Riots are breaking out through all of Europe. Refugees are demanding to leave Uruguay now because the cost of living is too high. The UN is sending boats to take them to Greece and Turkey, but thousands are already rioting due to overcrowding. I am in extreme conflict with the issue. My Christian side says care for those in need. My military side has every one of my 'Spidey senses' tingling. Some news outlets on the ground are saying the crowds are dominated by military aged males, whereas others are primarily only showing the women and children. Where do you stand in the middle of all this insanity?

Countries need to be very careful taking in those "refugees". My bet is that few if any will have any desire to assimulate or to support themselves. They will expect to live off of welfare and will try to establish their own culture and form of law in the host countries. In the long run countries who take them will be sorry. Do note that other middle east countries refuse to take them because of concerns about terrorism. These "refugees" could very well destroy western civilization.

Great answer. Accountability is a massive problem. These people are smashing down barricades and proceeding into foreign countries unaccounted for. No one will know the true numbers, ever. All those military aged males are a concern for me as well. If they had any stones they would have fought for what they believed in. Instead, they will fight to change their host countries into what is familiar for them. Christians will be infidels, Muslims will be 'victims', and their own neighboring Muslim countries will deny them access so they can become our problem.

Good for them. Though it might be a 'safe' play for them -- it can't be easy for Syrians to get there.

Maybe they will help them somehow. They need all the help they can get, SN Greg Wright.

Your Spidey senses are working correctly. I am guessing we have to pay the bill at some point. If I had a choice, I would make France take them in given their socialist nature.

I've watched a bunch of documentaries on the current state of France and that keg has already been lit. They have armed troops all over protecting churches, government buildings, and other soft targets. I almost forgot what the French military looked like. They tried laying down the law to the refugees and immigrants and it lit the match. They will not assimilate and be grateful for the host country. They see Christian oppression and become 'victims' wherever they go. France is at it's wits end dealing with the situation. Muslim countries won't take them in so I guess they need to work on their interpretation of the Koran. To allow Muslims to go to traditional Christian lands for asylum has got to be a no no. I don't have my Koran handy for any reference material. My bad.

I am a Muslim, so keep that in mind. If our leadership were to put their minds to it, we could get any country in the world to help in a situation like this. The problem here is that our leadership is so inept that nothing can be solved and we will have to pay the bill given we have been unable to work with our friends to solve the problems they have created. I don't know what will happen in the future, but we are on a bad path....this country and the world.

SFC Mark Merino, what? Rich Muslim nations haven't lifted a finger, er, so much as opened a back door for Muslim refugees from Syria, Iraq and Libya?
As my Drill Sergeant was so fond of saying, "there might be a reason for that!"

Latin America is offering refuge to refugees from those displaced by violence in the Middle East....
My friend Sgt Keith Bodine posted a similar question which was merged. Therefore in honor of his post, I am broadening this discussion from Syrian refugees to all refugees fleeing violence in North Africa and throughout the Middle east. Granted terrorists and radicals will do there best to merge with refugees wherever they are exported to. However there are many refugees who have experienced complete upheaval of their lives including brutal...

I read this morning that many of the "refugees" in South America are demanding to be transported to Europe because the cost of living is too high where they are.

Some troopers are worried they don't have a combat patch and worry they won't have street creds for leading Soldiers. I agree with what you said and with that Said, many opportunities for deployments will soon present themselves. I can say after fighting everybody and their brother to get over there, a little overrated.

Children of Men (Near the End)
the bulid up to the end of childern of men
Remember the ending of Children of Men? When the Christians and Muslims shoot the works and go all in against each other. Its coming. And once the bullets start flying it wont matter how it started.
