if we disagree on the premise that peaceful pursuit of those things is important, then fair enough, i concede that my reasoning is futile

Countries are not charities. We have no obligation to spend our wealth on foreigners.

We have no obligation to let foreigners in.

you're spending your wealth keeping people out for no good reason

The good reason is that they are not American.

you assume the default is to keep them out

and that the choice is whether to actively let them in or not

when it's the reverse

If we did not keep them out billions of third-worlders would plunder and destroy this nation.

y tho

what do they have to gain from that? and billions?
if your government didn't waste its resources preventing people from traveling and working, they could just come over and contribute

no harm done

Tell that to Germany or Sweden.

i'm *in* Germany lol

That explains a lot.

Stay there.

Enjoy your third-worlders.

really doing their best to keep daesh alive

Two US-led coalition’s F-15 fighter jets have mistakenly targeted Kurdish units amid their offensive on the remaining forces of Islamic State

can the US just fuck off of the middle east

Yeah this article sounds extremely bias.

It's RT, ofc it will be.

At least it's not coming from the side thats killing their friends.

Re: illegal migration and border control
1. Space within a nation is not infinite
2. Resources and jobs within a nation are not infinite
3. Government programs exist as the result of a state
All of these things should be made available for legal citizens. The point of border control is to manage the flow of new people in the country. If you want to join a country, you must do it through legal channels- that way the systems within that country can account for you

That was random

it was about an earlier convo

Ahh

🤔

You realize that this is russia today and even if the US bombed ISIS theyd write that it hit the kurds?

Yeah, I'm having a hard time believing this thing about the Kurds. Even if it did happen. If it did happen, most likely it was kurds in a place they weren't suppose to be.

but I dunno much about what's going on in syria so i'll stop there before I say something dumb... probably too late.
