Los países europeos están aceptando migrantes e integrándolos en sus sociedades. Por lo que mi pregunta es: ¿por qué no más sirios? E, incluso, ¿por qué no mas iraquíes, afganos o somalíes? ¿Es una cuestión de racismo? ¿Es porque son sospechosos de crear riesgo de terrorismo? ¿Es porque no les consideran adecuadamente preparados o capacitados? Hay preguntas que los líderes de la Unión Europea necesitan comenzar a responder para superar la crisis de los refugiados.

(Own report) - At the International Aerospace Exhibition (ILA), which opens today in Berlin, the Bundeswehr is demonstrating its ability to wage wars of aggression. The program includes various "troop proficiency demonstrations," performing, for example, the "evacuation" of German nationals from a "crisis zone" for the audience at the Air Show. The demonstration calls for the use of elite combat units, particularly assault helicopters, considered generally by the military as the ideal weapon for anti-guerilla operations. The ILA management has installed a central area on the fair grounds for the aerospace industry to provide information on special helicopters for police and military missions. The event is again also focusing on the Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) - or drones. The Bundeswehr, alone, will introduce four different types of UAS, which had been used in Afghanistan to reconnoiter enemy positions in preparation of targeted attacks. At the US Air Force stand, the MQ-9 "Reaper" combat drone will be on display, which is being used around the world to illegally assassinate so-called terrorist suspects, regularly causing large numbers of civilian casualties.
