        Lol, you serious? From Turkey alone around 250.000 refugees already returned since Assad fell. They were hardly able to manage that stream of returning refugees at the border. Many, many more prepare to return. Most refugees fled from the Assad governement.

        The Isis-thing was never more than a minor sub-conflict.

            Oh my, and you accuse of living knowledge a fantasy world…

            They literally just unearthed a mass grave of approximately 150.000 people that have been murdered by Assad…

            Your reference predates Assad’s toppling and the very URL mentions people fleeing due to escalation, so it doesn’t contradict the comment to which you replied, nor does it substantiate your statements. Do you have a better corroboration?

              Syria has now been invaded by Turkey and Israel, with a whole bunch of different groups fighting each other there for dominance now. If you don’t understand how this is going to result in a massive refugee crisis then I don’t know what to tell you. I guess you’ll just have to wait a few months and see for yourself

          No, I’m pointing out that the west overthrowing governments tends to have negative consequences for the west. The US tried to occupy Afghanistan for decades and bled trillions on that project. Meanwhile, anytime a government is overthrown by extremists, then you necessarily end up with waves of refugee fleeing the country. What part of that are you having trouble understanding?
