"SNIP.....

When asked if he was concerned that Islamic State fighters would be able to escape because of Turkey’s military operation in Syria, Trump predicted that the militants would not travel to the United States, CBS News reports.

Said Trump: “They’re going to be escaping to Europe.”

His comment was apparently meant to reassure Americans.

but he doesn't care because they'll flee to Europe, and we no longer give a fuck about those countries.

At least for consultations.

The US president is ok with terror attacks in Europe. That’s on top of the betrayal of the Kurds

The US needs to be treated as a pariah state until we get our shit together. We clearly can’t do it currently and other countries need to start making their own plans.

We are the bad guys heading fast into a very dark place. Appeasement of us doesn’t help anyone including us.
