Why am I even reading the comment sections?

I should know better. I shouldn't read the comments below news articles...

"The elite has a plan for the Islamization of Europe, and they're implementing it quite successfully".

Bull-fucking-shit. The so called "elite" has no idea what they're doing. This proneness to overestimate the elite's capacities is ridiculous. In fact, the elite is

Re: the Gulf motherfuckers. They do it because they can. And because they're selfish.

how come the wealthy Gulf states have accepted zero/zip/nada Syrian refugees so far?

Because they're assholes.

but they would not accept refugees on US soil

Same explanation.

I'd say the elites know exactly what they are doing: making more money than the rest of you.

Worshippers of Mammon aren't interested in Islamification, just more money. Some folk really do appear so dense that they blunt Occam's razor. I'm not surprised that it makes rational folk like you seethe.

Putin has a point, but I am reminded of the biblical analogy of motes and beams.

You would have thought that Muslim nations would help out Muslim refugees, but I guess the wealthy Gulf states actually worship Mammon too.

You're reading the comments sections because just like anyone else, you can't resist plunging into all that stupidity and idiocy - i.e. just for fun!

While we're about idiocy, I've been seeing calls for a revolution and the violent overthrowing of "the system" (whatever that's supposed to mean), which allows for such "outrages" like the peaceful accommodation of Middle Eastern and African refugees. Apparently, the author of said proclamation (again seen around the comment sections under news articles) was advocating for the restoration of the Third Reich or something - in any case, he was citing relevant parts of Mein Kampf, which he appeared to have learned by heart. The commentator even alluded to "the final solution", hinting that Europe might have to resort to it once more if the situation goes out of control. At which point I felt I was going to throw up in my mouth a little, so I stopped reading.

And Sarkozy is back from whichever hole he hid himself in, and is now spouting the "exotic" idea of setting up "repatriation camps" for refugees in countries outside of his convenience zone the Schengen territory. Despite the fact that this would be a direct violation of all international law, UN conventions, and EU treaties. But he's playing by the populist tune, hoping to score points and return as his nation's savior. Or something.

Perhaps there really should be camps - for people like Sarkozy.

If anyone still believes either the Russians or the Americans are doing anything regarding the Syrian conflict or the Syrian refugees out of sheer sympathy for their respective Syrian "friends" (be they Assad, the Jihadists, or the presumably "moderate" rebels), then they're dwelling in fantasy world. There are no friendships in geopolitics. Just interests. Russia has an interest to keep their base at the Mediterranean, while America is interested in removing Russia's last base from the Mediterranean. Iran has an interest to complete the land corridor of Iran-friendly governments so they could deliver oil to the Mediterranean, while Saudi Arabia is interested in disrupting that plan. Israel has their own interests in the region. And Egypt, and Turkey as well. Vast amounts of oil have been found in the sea near Cyprus, and all these players will be scrambling for the nice ports in Syria and Lebanon. It's all interests, brothers and sisters! Friendship, principles, empathy and solidarity, or simple human relations - that's all bunk for
