Pray tell, how much of, say, the latest Afghanistan war did the US pay and how much do their allies need to bear? The rebuilding of a whole country, the reinstatement of the Taliban regime, the destabilization of the region, and the still ongoing stream of refugees? The political aftermath of which is still felt in Europe.

Nobody is forcing Europe to allow people without visas in. Building a eall and shooting on site anyone who crosses it is a very simple and effective method of keeping immigration in check.

But no, the EU seems hellbent on destroying itself by allowing all kinds of savages through its borders.

Europe could have simply denied entry to the refugees and avoided their entire refugee problem. It's especially silly to blame the US when most EU states strongly supported the downfall of Qaddafi and Assad.
