Trump threatens to drop Isis fighters 'right at UK border' and leave Britain to 'have fun capturing them again'




Latest threat comes after Kurds warn they will not be able to maintain security at Isis camps amid Turkish attacks

...........

Speaking at a press conference where he announced the death of Isis leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the US president called European nations a “tremendous disappointment”.

After thanking Russia, Turkey, Syria and Iraq for assistance in the operation, Mr Trump said he had personally pressured EU countries to take back Isis members.

“They came from France, they came from Germany, they came from the UK. They came from a lot of countries,” he added.

“And I actually said to them, if you don’t take them, I’m going to drop them right on your border and you can have fun capturing them again.”



Mr Trump suggested that if detainees escape Kurdish-controlled camps, the US will not “capture people that want to go back to Germany, France, UK and other parts of Europe”.

“They could walk back – they can’t walk to our country. We have lots of water in between our country and them,” he added.

Since Puppet Sharpie likes to solicit outside help in getting rid of his foes, I figure sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Any assistance you might like to provide in riding America of this tool and his toadies will be quite welcome. ANY assistance.

Oh, I know! He means right at the border between the UK and one of his golf courses. 'Cause, you know, he believes he is the ruler of any land he owns.

Next he will demand we build a wall on the US-UK border.

the idea is on point, the execution and diplomacy is horrible.

There are ~20,000 former ISIS members / wives / children being held in prison camps who all have some sort of European nationality -- the US has repatriated (and imprisoned many) US citizens. The shouldn't stay in prison indefinitely without trial -- and they probably are still radicalized in the case of many of the women.
