'They're supposed to be fighting for their country': Trump criticizes young male Syrian refugees, says they look like soldiers and and insists 'we can't take 'em'

Trump barnstormed through Iowa for a pair of campaign events on Thursday He insisted that America should turn away the Syrian refugees promised asylum by President Barack Obama, calling them a potential 'Trojan horse' 'They're young men. They're strong men. They look like soldiers,' Trump said Billionaire presidential candidate said separately that America needs a mandatory database to track Muslims in the U.S. 'I would certainly implement that. Absolutely,' he declared Donald Trump stoked the fires of conservative discontent about Syrian refugees on Thursday in rural Iowa, telling a community college crowd that he suspects some are 'soldiers' who could cause harm to the United States.

President Barack Obama has pledged to take in 10,000 or more people fleeing the war-torn Middle Eastern country, castigating Republicans who he says are eager to discriminate against 'widows and orphans.'

Not so, said Trump.

'I see these people coming by the hundreds of thousands,' he said in the town of Newton, Iowa. 'And I say, "They're men. They're young men. They're strong men. They look like soldiers".'

'I say, "Where are the women?" Now there are some, a little bit, but not much.'

I don’t think they’re going to tell us until after the holidays. I’m pretty sure Daryl’s motorcycle is toast though. Time to riot! LOL!

Instead of fighting for their country, the Syrian’s are coming here so our young men and women can go over there and fight for their Syrian country. To hell with the Syrian Muslime bastards. Why should our young people die for them when they fail to even try?

He should expand on it though.
Why are they leaving and expecting us to accept 65k or more of them and then want us to send 30k or more of our troops to fight for them? Hell no!

They won’t fight for their country but they’ll fight for their religion...in our country.

EXACTLY right, Trump! Stating the obvious is a refreshing thing.

And Trump IS Captain Obvious. It’s an internet insult meme, but in the political world there isn’t supposed to be such a person.

“They found some women...”

In the ME women when a female child in born into a family relatives start thinking in terms of a ‘wife’ for one of their sons. First cousin ‘marriage’ is common. If a man dies or is killed in war his brothers have ‘responsibility’ for his wife or wives....

Rather than reporters attempting to find some women who “were left” - they need to interview some of the men in Europe - and FIND OUT how many have wives and children. As far as ‘poverty’ is concerned? Many of these men are paying thousands of dollars for passage. The stories seem about as honest as the pictures taken by meme driven photographers who focus on getting pictures of women and children at the center of every picture of ‘refugees’...

All I’m saying is that we’re probably NOT getting the truth on what’s happening - - forces that benefit from cheap labor and political sob stories are controlling. I’m not there so I don’t know for sure... but I know the questions I would be asking...

Speculation has been rife for some time now that Russian forces have been plotting a ground invasion to retake the former satellite states of the Soviet Union, and eventually capturing the European capitals. The overwhelming of these nations' borders, social services, and law enforcement mechanisms would destabilize and weaken the internal security controls when Russian military units would make their move.

Might be one of the reasons former members of the USSR are NOT taking in 'refugees'... They understand the danger of instability and the risks involved.

Destabilizing a country is the same as 'softening them up'... if you know what I mean.. Another possibility is former USSR States - reduced to chaos - would choose to 'voluntarily' to rejoin to USSR. Either way, 'easy pickings' or 'voluntarily' - the end result would be the same. That said, our biggest concern isn't former USSR states - it's Russian and Iran forming a bond...

I am ready for resistance. The cult needs to be exposed for the evil it is. It is a false religion. Anyone with a clue about islam knows it’s garbage.

They like keeping their followers ignorant because there are so many contradictions to the evil cult.

What few women and Christians that manage to get on the boats are thrown overboard in order to relieve the overcrowding.
