| As Germany Offers Air Base for Afghan Refugees, U.S. Agrees to Evacuate German Citizens |
| 2021-08-21 |
| [NEWSWEEK] The United States received permission from Germany to use Ramstein Air Base in western Germany as a temporary intermediate stop to transport Afghan refugees, Germany's foreign minister announced. In a statement released Friday, Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said that Germany and its international partners are focused on a goal to evacuate as many people from Kabul "as is possible under the very difficult circumstances," the Associated Press reported. Western countries, including Germany, have deployed military aircraft to Afghanistan to rescue German nationals and Afghans who assisted in their military missions before the Taliban seized the country in a stunning takeover. "We agree with all our partners on the ground that no place on our planes should remain empty," Maas said in the statement. |

| #6 I'm assuming that Germany would like us to pay to house people in the housing developments we built for our troops and then gave to them. |

| #1 For Christians refugees I would say Yes and would even help settle individual families here in GA. But I would have to say NO for Islamic Refugees. Because Islamic Refugees: 1. Are not as threaten by the Taliban as Christains. 2. Have historically brought with them 600+ years cultural problems. 3. Refuse to blend in and become part of the America system. Setting up their own internal community Islamic controlled processes. 4. Have repeatedly demonstrated to become sources for domestic Radical Terrorists Anti-USA breeding grounds. eg. radical Islamic religious leaders preaching death to America while enjoying the freedoms. |
