Trump not that bad : Comments

By Peter Coates, published 18/1/2017

Trump's rise recognises the superiority of power over international law and the advantages of being proactive rather than reactive.

I think it is illustrating a number of non pc matters that have been
swept under the PC carpet.
We have a few years to sort ourselves out before we have to start
dealing with European asylum seekers.
So far, except for only a very few, it has only been Jews looking for
a safe haven. Of those leaving France about half have gone to Israel
and half to the USA.
We need to get our policies sorted out before it becomes a flood
of French, Italians and Germans.

Germany, having second thoughts, may certainly want to pass on many Muslims to third countries like Australia.

A million in one year to Germany was Merkel's Main Mistake. This drew many economic "refugees" to countries all over Europe. This also included IS sleeper cells and solitary killers mixing themselves into the "refugee" flow.

Merks clearly has not recognised HER error http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/donald-trump-muslim-ban-germany-angela-merkel-immigration-refugee-executive-order-a7551641.html

Oh, I think Merkel is enough of a politician to realise her blunder.
However she is enough of a politician not to admit her mistake.
Still further problems, a report from an African organisation that
warns that there are 15 million Africans likely to start moving to Europe.

its amazing that the thing lefites seem to hate the most is when pollies deliver on promises. Remember 'stop the boats'and scrap the carbon tax'. It can't be done, it won't be done, the world won't survive, its impossible and on it went. What the lefties hated the most was when it was done. I suspect the sick days at the abc went up dramatically due to the stress that a pollie would do what he said he would do. On the other hand they love pollies who promise Gonski, NDIS, Broadband knowing quite well that despite tears and tantrums they can never deliver on these things because they know the money is not their for such things.

It is puzzling that Trump did not include Saudi Arabia when he drew up the list of the seven Muslim-majority nations whose immigrants and refugees are blocked from entering the US.

Those seven countries are Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia and Libya. Maybe the seven have insufficient oil or too few US Treasury Bonds to make them exempt?

It would appear the US has a submissive attitude to Saudi Arabia, the nation that supplied 15 of the 19 September 11 hijackers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijackers_in_the_September_11_attacks

The ranks of Islamic State, terrorising Iraq and Syria, are full of Saudis.

Oil is not the key item that many think. The US uses almost no Saudi oil.
In any case in Saudi's stringent circumstances they will sell oil to anybody.
I have not seen any indication of a reappearance of the Marquis in Rural France.
Perhaps the rural areas have not been affected much yet.
Once the rural people are affected they will react.
