Viktor Orban has said he fears the Iran war could worsen the migrant crisis and outlined what he thinks Europe needs…

The GB News host referred the migrant crisis of 2015 - where over one million people fled conflicts in Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq - and asked whether the same could be repeated now.

The Hungarian PM replied: "I think now we have two difficulties approaching us from that conflict.

"One is migration, exactly as you have elaborated, and the other is energy.

"And the impact of this war on the energy supply and the price of the energy.

"So these two crises could come or could be created as a result of the turmoil."

When asked about Donald Trump's decision to attack Iran, the Hungarian leader commented on what he thinks is the US President's motives.

He said: "The question is whether he started a war or a peace. It hasn't been decided yet.

Orban is absolutely right. Every time there’s a war in the Middle East, there’s a huge influx or attempted influx of “refugees” into Europe. While Persians generally aren’t as viciously bestial and depraved as Arabs and Africans, having hundreds of thousands of them overrunning Europe and trying to re-create mini-Irans wherever they settle isn’t exactly a desirable state of affairs for anyone.

Then I recommend they turn around and create change in Iran and not come to the evil, Satanic nations of the West that they hate so much.

Yep. To which I’d add: A good number of Western Europeans saw the United States as the aggressor in the Iraq war. And so their sympathies were with the “refugees” - who were actually invaders.

The same thing will happen with Iran.

Stupid Europeans.

It’s not limited to wars in which the US is directly involved. The Syrian civil war, with which we were only involved peripherally, created one of the largest flows of Middle Easterners into Europe. Denmark and Sweden in particular were ready to welcome them with open arms. Not surprisingly, many of their cities went from essentially zero street crime to levels comparable to what’s seen in our inner cities almost overnight.

A good number of the Syrian rebels operated out of western Iraq. Saddam never would have permitted that.

But Bush II removed Saddam. So I’d argue that Bush II played a role in causing the chaos in Syria, and the resulting “refugee” flow into Europe.

The Law of Unintended Consequences.

The other problem is that the “free Syria army” was propagandized by the Obama administration and by the media as advocates of Western-style republican and democratic government, as opposed to the Al Quaeda spinoffs that most of them were. Indeed, al-Sharaa, a former Al Quaeda fighter is now president of Syria. So of course there will be chaos in the region.
