Trump: Gulf States Will Pay For Safe Zones In Syria

President Donald Trump vowed to make Arab gulf states help pay for safe zones in Syria to curb the flow of Syrian refugees at a campaign rally in Florida Saturday.

Trump’s comments echo language from his January executive order suspending immigration from seven terror-rife countries, along with past comments to the reporters. Trump couched safe zone implementation in Syria as a way to protect the U.S. from prospective infiltration by terrorists posing as refugees. “I’ll absolutely do safe zones in Syria for the people,” he declared in an ABC News interview from his first week in office.

Trump suggested at the rally that the Gulf states have “a lot of money” that can be used to construct the safe zones in Syria.

If the refugees seek safety, these safe zones should be sufficient.
If the refugees are trying to invade the West and impose Sharia Law, these safe zones will be rejected.

I would suggest the president will not make the Gulf States pay for the sanctuaries.

Rather, he will accept the money and assistance the gulf States have offered in exchange for his leadership. It could have been accomplished years ago except Obama was petulent and fearful

The Gulf States are terrified of Isis. Many of them are just as afraid of Turkey and Iran who are emerging as Islamic state superpowers. You would think that the Islamic Gulf States would welcome Islamic super powers. But Islam is a blanket word meaning different things to different players. Iran, for example, sees itself as bringing about the Islamic apocalypse. How comfortable are the Gulf States with a nuclear power next door who believes their mission is to light the Middle East into flames?

The Gulf States desperately want a peaceful region so they can conduct their business and live their luxurious lives in safety. Many of the people residing in those states, however, want anarchy so they can impose their own Sharia law.

We are in for a long, suffering century thanks to a gay pedophile who died over a thousand years ago.

This is common sense policy. Provide them tents, blankets, food, copies of the Koran if they’re Muslim and Bibles if they’re Christians, tell them they have to live side by side in peace in these settlement zones, and recreate their Shangri-La over there, not over here.

Erdogan wants to revive Ottoman Empire. To do that, at the least, he needs to take over the area in N. Iraq populated by ethnic Turks. Iran wants to have unimpeded land access to Syria, which may have to go through N. Iraq. Is it possible that two countries work out a deal which can guarantee both? I see a seed of clash there.

“I see a seed of clash there. “

One of the Israeli PM’s said, “If the Arabs didn’t have us to hate, they would have to invent us.” Since the Seventh century, Islam has created enemies to unite itself against the common foe. But the moment the combined Muslim armies win, they fall again to fighting each other. Only the presence of a powerful Caliphate or an outside super power can prevent it.

I have always thought that the first victim of a Muslim nuclear weapon will be another Muslim state. They hate each other much more than they hate the rest of us. A nuclear Muslim country is a recipe for additional Muslim suffering. They are not like the West and the Soviet Union, who could live in armed “peace.” They have the outlook of undisciplined children and the emotional maturity of two-year-olds.

Even if their apocalyptic culture succeeded in a MAD policy for a time, eventually a powerful Ayatollah in Iran would be diagnosed with cancer and he would want to be the one to gain favor from Allah by being the leader who brought about the return of the Mahdi.

Will this be before or after they establish safe zones in Yemen?

The Gulf States sent their jihadists into Syria to overthrow Assad, their al Qaeda fighters, their ‘admirers of Osama Bin Laden’ as Peter Hitchens wrote.

The Russians checkmated the jihadists, but the jihadists created ISIS in the mess of Syria’s Civil War.

And they obviously create the “refugees-migrants” and all that has meant to Syria and the rest of the world.

Thank You Saudi Arabia and Gulf Arabs....../sarc

There, a permanent fix for the problem.

Creating a safe zone is a great idea, the problem comes when trying to keep it safe from the middle east no-minds who are hell bent on pushing their false cult like regligon to the rest of the world. They WILL NOT stay inside borders to achieve their goal.

Creating a safe zone sounds like a swell idea
Until it becomes a No- fly zone
For The Syrian government and Russia
And delegitimizes Assad as the president of all SYRIA
So a “ democratic rebel army” can receive US and Israeli weapons and training under the auspices of humanitarian aid paid for by Ta-da - Saudi and Qatar ( who funded ISIS and Al Nusra who are definitely looking for safe zones after being driven out of Aleppo and palmyra and soon Deir ezzor )
Gee
What could go wrong with that policy
