Putin is a bigger threat to Europe’s existence than Islamic state - George Soros
The Guardian ^ | 11 February 2016 | George Soros

Posted on 02/11/2016 11:27:15 AM PST by Cronos

The leaders of the US and the EU are making a grievous error in thinking that president Vladimir Putin’s Russia is a potential ally in the fight against Islamic State. The evidence contradicts them. Putin’s aim is to foster the EU’s disintegration, and the best way to do so is to flood Europe with Syrian refugees.

..Russia has also launched a large-scale air attack against civilians in northern Syria. This was followed by a ground assault by Syrian president Bashar al-Assad’s army against Aleppo, a city that used to have 2 million inhabitants. The barrel bombs caused 70,000 civilians to flee to Turkey; the ground offensive could uproot many more.

It is hard to understand why US and EU leaders take Putin at his word rather than judging him by his behaviour. The only explanation I can find is that democratic politicians seek to reassure their publics by painting a more favourable picture than reality justifies. The fact is that Putin’s Russia and the EU are engaged in a race against time: the question is which one will collapse first.

...Isis (and al-Qaida before it) has recognised the achilles heel of western civilisation – the fear of death – and learned how to exploit it. By arousing latent Islamophobia in the west and inducing the public and governments to treat Muslims with suspicion, it hopes to convince young Muslims that there is no alternative to terrorism. Once this strategy is understood, there is a simple antidote: refuse to behave the way your enemies want you to.

Nothing must interfere with the globalist tentacles reaching out to meet and cover the whole world, and propel a globalist elite, in their regions, under one strong leader. Glad I’ll be gone from this earth, one way or the other, before this plan comes to its ultimate fruition.

Soros is the one who is financing the busing of Muslims through Turkey and elsewhere into Europe.

HE in fact, is the MAIN person responsible for the invasion of Germany. Putin should send one of his henchmen to go visit Soros and explain to him what happened to the other Putin critic in England.

And this means Putin is a better guy than we thought.

Watch the Polonium, George. Too much is bad for your health.

Dear George,
We all know how you loved turning those Jew boys in to your SS pals back in the day. Now Putiput is threatening your had won new world order. You need to be a stand up leader here and make a point none of us will remember in a year or two.

Just grab the passport you are using today and book a flight to Raqqa where you can stand shoulder to shoulder to the best guys to come along since your pals in the SS passed away. I’m sure when Putiput leans you are in Raqqa he will get all scrunchy and shirty, but will feel those fearsome tremors along his spine and send you a peace offering ... I hear the TU-160s warming up now ...

That is true. He probably is a self-proclaimed atheist, I’m not sure. But I am sure that he’s a tool of Satan, how witting or unwitting of one I don’t know.

That’s rich, coming from him. Wasn’t Soros the guy who very nearly crashed the entire UK economy for his own benefit? An action which very well would have posed a serious risk to the rest of the European economies as well?

The Hungarian ex-Nazi, ex-patriot, George Soros, is a bigger threat to Europe than the Islamic State. Putin appears to be is acting to protect Europe from the forces that are destabilizing it. The Leftist parasite Soros, has been preying on Europe & America, their values and wealth.
