Refugees and Stupid Politicians

      Donald Trump is right, politicians are stupid and that just doesn't go for our politicians, but European politicians as well.  With hundreds of thousands of refugees streaming out of Syria, Iraq, and the Middle East, Europe is overwhelmed and doesn't know what to do. The answer that these stupid politicians have overlooked is to eliminate the reason why they are leaving in the first place.
Very simply is to destroy ISIS and Bashir Assad.  The former would be relatively easy, but the later has just become much more difficult.
      Imagine a NATO or European Army of 250,000 fighting ISIS which is though to number about 50,000.  This army would have control of the skies and would have more and better technology.Seizing the Iraqi oil fields and ISIS headquarters in Syria would be easy. Any leaders that are captured would be subject to an international court with the death penalty as the sentence.
      Once ISIS is eliminated, Assad has to go.  He has killed 250,000 of his own people, and if it weren't for IRAN and Russia he would be gone already.  Because the USA and Europe has dallied for so long, the Russians have stepped in to fill the void, bring in more sophisticated weapons systems, that would make things more difficult.  Still Russia could be persuaded to back off.  This would be easy to do, if Obama would change his energy policy.  We could use our oil and gas to sell to Europe. Russia relies on sales of these products to Europe, especially Germany for hard currency.  Shipping LNG and oil to Europe at a better price than Russia would really put pressure on Putin not only in Syria, but all over the world.
      Sadly, we have leaders who just don't understand what is going on in the world.  Our own president has made a horrible deal with Iran a country that continues to tell us that it wants to destroy us.  Only a real idiot would make a deal under those circumstances.  It also doesn't help to deny the existence of radical Islam.
