Trump Threatens To Release Thousands Of ISIS Fighters Into Europe

President Donald Trump threatened America's European allies that he would release ISIS fighters into their countries.

President Donald Trump threatened America's European allies that he would release thousands of ISIS fighters into their countries.

The Independent:

US president Donald Trump has threatened to release “thousands” of Isis fighters held in Syria “to Europe” if their countries do not take back their citizens who went to join the terror group.

Around 800 Isis fighters of European origin are currently being detained in northern Syria by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, along with thousands of women and children.

The Trump administration has been pressuring EU governments to repatriate their citizens suspected of joining Isis, but most have been reluctant to do so, fearing they would present a security risk upon their return.

“We have thousands of Isis fighters that we want Europe to take and let’s see if they take them. And if they don’t take them, we’ll probably have to release them to Europe,” Mr Trump said on the White House lawn on Thursday.

that the rest of the world needs to close ranks against us. That would pressure us to get rid of this orange POS.

Our reputation in the world is going to take decades to repair.

Now, ironically, we really do need MAGA: we must return to sanity, at all costs.

However, Europe acquiesced to Hitler until he invaded Poland. They agreed to Austria, Czechoslovakia, and the Balkans. So far, they're continuing along that same path.

Allied forces entering to take down Hitler 2.0 and his Nazis will have a much more friendly beach access. Except near Mar-a-Logo. Maybe come in from the west coast. We will leave the light on.

The world will not trust us unless we have Nuremberg like trials for those in government who supported Trump.

It is so very sad and scary that we have sunk so low.

No more wars. But it sure looks like Putin and trump want the US to finally host it's own damn war. Our allies should not be responsible for American illiteracy and racist hate. Greed from the top. Paying for news that keeps them on top. If I were from another country, and saw a trump fest rally, I would say you broke it, you Fix it. Not gonna sacrifice my life for that shit hole country.

The Syrian Democratic Forces can't hold these captured people much longer, they just don't have the resources. Russia is blocking UN tribunals on this on behalf of their ally Syria. This is a real problem that needs a resolution soon.

No matter what he says publicly, Trump has taken back US citizens, tried them in courts, and imprisoned them after due process. Of course in his rallies he promises to torture and kill them, but he has not done so. So he's asking European countries to do the same and bluffing about the idiotic threat to release them in Europe. He's not going to.

But that still leaves the problem of what to do with these captured fighters. Nuremberg style trials would make the most sense here. Many of them need to be executed for murder/terrorism/treason, but some are also women and children who didn't kill anyone.
