Bono: Refugee Crisis ‘Threatens the Very Existence of Europe,’ Could Be a Challenge U.S. President

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.”

““I wish I had better news to report and I think it’s something to get ahead of””

We wouldn’t be able to understand it if you did.

“”Can someone translate what he said?””

People actually listen to this clap-trap? I thought he spoke English but I guess not.

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

Same here. Why is it so doggone difficult to speak plainly?

Hey Bono, cry me a river. The US has been under siege the past 20+ years particularly since B. Hussein Obama has begun his fundamental transformation of America...and all we heard is that America is racist for wanting to deny citizenship to these illegals.

Imagine muslims massing in Northern Ireland...that would be quite the religious war between the infidel Protestants, Catholics and the true believers of islam.

May have to modify their classic hit Sunday Bloody Sunday...

I have a cousin my age that I’ve always been close to. She is perpetually needy though. She asked me once if she could stay with us for a couple of months. She has grown kids but always hates staying with them.
I thought about it and decided no. She would be too comfy here and have no reason to leave. If she stays with her kids she gets out as soon as possible. lol

Silly Europeans. What he is saying is he wants us to bail out the European Union again.

Why should we dedicate any of our blood, treasure and resources to stabilize Europe against a Muslim hoard when thier stated policy is to hang a welcome sign on every nation’s front door.

Enoughalready. NATO was established prior to the European Union. It’s time for them to put thier big boy pants on and clean thier room. Uncle Sugar is broke. 70 years is long enough.

I know many immature adults that aren't responsible for their own actions. It's always someone else's fault. All of it was caused by bad / lax parenting with too much spoiling and picking up the pieces for them when they need to suffer a little bit so they will grow up. From what I've seen, this is the majority of the Obamites and the millenials that had a lot to do with the bad position we're in.
