@Rossignol That's a very apt description.
Of course everybody wants to rule the world.
It's frakkin human nature for people to want that, as they have proved through time untold.
When our leaders are disingenuous enough to tell us OF ANY FOREIGN GROUP that they are peaceful and wonderful people who only want a better life free from war and don't want to rule the world or the USA or Hamtramck Michigan or take over our culture, economy, political system, educational system, media etc, THEY ARE PLAYING US FOR FOOLS!
Sorry to shout....my blood pressure isn't normal right now.
It doesn't help when Trump talks about 250,000 Syrian immigrants, then the state dept. tells us, " . . . of the roughly 2,000 Syrian refugees who have come into the U.S., the State Department says that half are children, 2.5 percent are older than age 60, the sexes are split about equally, and only 2 percent are single men of combat age. "(MSN)
The figures are low, but even then they disguise the real numbers from the illiterate public who don't have a clue what 2.5% of 2000 is. Of the 2000:
1000 are under 18 (or 21? how do they count kids?) Any teen terrorists in there?
Of the other 1000:
2.5% = 50, so 50 are over 60.
OK, well
I'm over 60 and I'm deadly as hell sir. This is blatant age discrimination.
Didn't anybody mention not to mess with old guys? I'm a manufacturing engineer with a programming background and I can build computer controlled guns and bombs far more deadly that any recently seen. But I'm not a terrorist, see?
I stand for the USA, like my fathers. Syrians can't claim that.
So are these 50 old folks just fat house wives and retired mailmen? I dunno.
That leaves 950 people.
If 2% are
single combat-aged men 98% are not = 1960 people minus the 50 old folks and 1000 kids = 910 people
to reiterate: 950-910=40 or,
2% of 2000 = 40 men. Same thing.
40 combat age men who we don't know.
Then if the sexes are split, maybe half of the remaining 910 are men of combat age who are married.
that's 455 men. My dad was married. He went to war 3 times. How many married men are in our Army?
Being married doesn't mean you won't kill an enemy. (Even one who befriends you.)
WTF does marriage mean to a terrorist serving allah? Not much.
So we have 455+40=495 combat age men.
About 500 guys! Suddenly it sounds a lot worse than "2%". Suddenly you can see the way our POTUS will purposely mislead Americans to fulfil his evil agenda.
500 potential terrorists, already coming here, but you won't hear that on TV.
