A lot of these failures in this who you were swore i think that the pentagon burned basically or the american mistreated as a home had no choice but to take this step to try and the heart of the reality which is going on on the ground because i think that if the American People are exposed to the real situation of there will be huge amounts popular pressure for the u. S. To you know just cut and withdraw from that country. In the west bank u. S. Officials had to flee an event in the city of bethlehem after angry protesters stormed the building they were in. No no no no no. No no no no. Call that had been a business meeting at the Bethlehem Chamber of commerce and industry protesters arrived with a bather condemning Donald Trumps decision to recognize jerusalem as israels capital after a minor trashes the meeting was cut short but before leaving the building the americans were given a clear message. That you should. Go. And the story did not end there Palestinian Protesters then ran out
The risk believes the latest move by the pentagon is tantamount to an admission of failure enough got a stone. Seeming so horrific attacks launched by the time of taliban and by isis which have now begun to target kabul the afghani capital previously we saw that they know there were attacks by these extremist groups but they wont focus so much on kabul kabul was considered to be relatively secure what weve seen now is that even the capital is no longer secure so a lot of these failures in this who you were swore i think that the pentagon bear basically or the american mistreated as a whole had no choice but to take this step to try and the heart of the reality which is going on on the ground because i think that if the American People are exposed to the real situation there will be huge amounts of popular pressure for the u. S. To going to just cut and withdraw from that country. In the west bank u. S. Officials had to flee an event in the city of bethlehem after angry protesters storm
Really think theres going to be a lot of opposition to that at least not publicly because right now the democrats are more concerned about you know whats going on the fact that a lot of their constituents and im talking about democrats in congress now in d. C. A lot more concerned about the fact that their own constituents are getting more money because of these tax reforms might even be liking donald trump and they have to make sure that their voices are heard but at the same time not one each of us policies to reign free so get most going to be long below on their list i think especially now that we have reports that a lot of the people that were released from gitmo not just baghdad who of course was in iraq and released the iraqi authorities before before being released but a lot of the other get mo releases from obama did in fact join either al qaeda are isis on the battlefield and we have some of that confirmation and so i dont think theyll be much opposition to that i do think th

Lebanon is a country of 4 Million People that has absorbed 1. 1 million. By now, probably 1. 2 5 million syrians. The equivalent in the United States would be over the course of nine years they absorbed 80 million refugees. Turkey is a country of about 75 million. They have absorbed the largest number of refugees. That represents a smaller proportion of turkeys large population. Small country like lebanon or jordan, and all of these are countries in the developing world. It bears mentioning that worldwide, refugees are housed 86 of all refugees are hosted by countries in the global south.
