Hey Seketu,
No.

Based on this logic the countries of the former Hapsburg Empire have zero obligation to take in migrants since they did not have overseas colonies. So Orban is 100% right to refuse to admit migrants.
Here’s the difference NYT.
Wherever we or the European’s went, we brought education, medicine, commerce and, in general, civilization.
What the invaders are bringing is disease, crime, dependency, and in general, barbarianism.
We owe those other countries nothing. They are enjoying the benefits of Western Civilization and technology. When they don’t live by Western standards they sink into barbarism - a prime example of which are most of the countries of Africa.
NY Slimes strikes again!
I want money paid to me for family members fighting in the civil war to free the slave AND money from Germany to pay for the people who’s families fought in World War Two...
And I want the money back we stupidly put into third world hellholes - and I want the money back with interest.
So the author is ok if we overrun Mexico?
My answer to these people is “screw you”.
But their plans are out in the open.
“carbon they have dumped into the atmosphere.”
Carbon dioxide, you frigging leftist shit heads.
“The creditor countries aren’t seriously suggesting that the West send sacks of gold bullion every year to India or Nigeria”
Yes they are! Always!
” immigration as reparations “
Wait, whut? Thought you said we were all raciss and you just want us outta yo faces. Now you wanna live with us?!
As for Nigerian “doctors”, we only trained them so that people IN NIGERIA could get medical treatment. We have way more then enough people already who can do the work and do it far better then some guy who struggled through a third tier med school to get his degree. You don’t really think he had to meet the same standards as our people, do ya!?
Because, when we finally get our shit together, we’ll KILL them if don’t respect our borders.
The “West.” That’s a very broad category! What them mean is that some country, sometime, once in the past, for a few days didn’t respect the borders of some other country, and so as a result we have to let millions of savages trample our soil, eat our food, rape our women, and chop off a few heads.
Hey NYT! I hope the “migrants” march right to your office and pay you a visit.
I could see where that would be the case for France or Britain, or Belgium.
But why is Sweden, a country that never had colonies, obliged to take them in? Or any other country that never had colonies?
There is a lot of debate these days about whether the United States owes its African-American citizens reparations for slavery. It does.
Author might have well said, “There is a lot of debate these days about whether the earth is flat or not. It is.”
Respecting our borders has nothing to do with the immigrants desire to come here for a better life.
Where does the NYT find all these idiot writers? I don’t really care much what some moron named Sekutu Mehta thinks about anything.
I don’t expect invaders to “respect” our borders. What I expect is for us to defend our borders and keep the invaders out.
You only own that which you are willing AND able to defend by whatever means at your disposal.
How lucky for Mr. Mehta to come from an above reproach Indian heritage where everyone is born as an equal to all other Indians.
Ah yes, the old “you owe us” line of argument.
OK. Let’s say you’re right about those points. What did the West ever do for the rest of the world?
Let’s see:
The telephone
The internet
The automobile
Railroads
Airplanes
Satellites
Television
Movies
The polio vaccine
Eradication of Smallpox
Antibiotics
Hell, all modern medicine
The refrigerator
Central heat and air conditioning
The Diesel Engine
Nuclear power
Space exploration
Pretty much all major sports
Most music in the world today
The light bulb
home appliances
Electricity (as something useful rather than just lightning)
Sewer systems
The green revolution in agriculture
All modern farm equipment
The material abundance brought by the Industrial Revolution
Democracy
The Rights of Man
That’s off the top of my head. That’s all from the West. The entire modern world is. On balance, the rest of the world owes the West far more than it owes them.
