Bono: Refugee Crisis ‘Threatens the Very Existence of Europe,’ Could Be a Challenge U.S. President
breitbart ^ | 12 Apr 2016 | by Jeff Poor

Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Bono, the lead vocalist of rock band U2, offered warning about the refugee crisis taking place due to turmoil in the Middle East and in Africa.

Bono told “Morning Joe” this crisis threatens the existence of Europe and could be a hurdle for the next president of the United States to overcome.

“What I learned from my trip along the border of Somalia and these camps along the borders of Syria saying – but what I learned from that trip with a lot of this work to get undone and furthermore, that it threatens the very existence of Europe. And that a big thing to lay on you at breakfast, and I know it’s not on the front page of the news here. But the refugee crisis places an existential threat on European unity.”

“I wish I had better news to report and I think it’s something to get ahead of,” Bono added. “I know there’s election fever and I can see why people are getting carried away. But the next president might spend his first term not just putting out fires, but forest fires if you don’t get on top of this.”

not sure exactly what he means, b/c he is of course a liberal, but the soundbite that the refugee crisis threatens the existence of Europe is obviously spot on

Don’t know if he’s 100 percent liberal.

That’s why i’m not sure if he is indirectly trying to say “don’t let them in!!!”

Well the s called “Refugee Crisis” is something that the Europeans are going to have too deal with on their own.

We have enough of our own issues with an alian invasion that our politicians don’t have the will to stop.

This sounds like Bono doing his best Stevie Nicks impression.

I think he's saying the US needs to bail out Europe. Guess that means taking in their refugees.

He doesn’t want to come right out and say it, because he would get ostracized in the entertainment community, but it’s VERY clear to me what he means:

Trump is right. VERY clearly. Trump is right.

Sounds like he's worried about Brexit, and the impending splintering of the EU -- not about the rise of Eurabia. Without an EU, there can be no Eurabia -- but with the right politicians, one can have an EU without Eurabia.

I've noticed a trend among many of the liberals and the sodomites the psst monthI think many are starting to wakeup as they realize the invading Muslim army will throw them from the rooftops and don't give a damn how rich they are. I'm starting to see posts online everywhere where they are stating they "have legitimate concerns about Islam that have nothing to do with bigotry" as one post put it. There were over 300 posts by liberals voicing their fears alone on one forum. First time I've seen that. Looks like they're starting to panic as they find out the Muslims don't want to be their widdle friends after all. They just liked them because they were killing Christians before. Shoe got put on the other foot and now they're getting skeered...

Bono should donate his stupid earrings to the starving Africans. What guy needs two earrings or even one? I never got that except for Sinbad the Sailor or Mr Clean and you ain’t Sinbad!

Or paid handsomely to turn their head and ignore.
