VINCE DHIMOS ANSWERED A QUESTION AT QUORA
 
IF THE SWEDES DON’T WANT REFUGEES, WHY DO THEY SUPPORT THE US WARS IN ISLAMIC COUNTRIES WHICH CREATE MOST OF THE REFUGEES?
 
Vince Dhimos, Editor-in-Chief at New Silk Strategies (2016-present)
 
An article from 2012 Examination of Sweden's involvement in Syria shows that Sweden sided with the US and EU in the early days of the Syrian uprising.
 
Quote:
 
“The other reason is that Sweden wants to strengthen the “democratic opposition”, in which the SNC is thought to have a key role. “… a large number of its members are leading figures who are expected to play important roles in a new Syria”, as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs writes in its evaluation of the Hässelby conference. But the Ministry does not comment on the fact that the SNC think that democracy will be achieved by bombings and war, about which there is no secrecy.”
 
As the ensuing history shows, the SNC was in fact a creation of the West, and in fact, after it quickly lost its currency, the original members of this puppet government faded in the same manner as Juan Guaido.
 
Another article from Nena News, which I reposted at Quora https://www.quora.com/Are-there-any-sources-for-American-involvement-in-the-Middle-East-since-9-11-It-s-for-a-paper/answer/Vince-Dhimos
 
shows well-documented instances of how the West created ISIS and directly sponsored Al-Qaeda and affiliates in the early stages of the Arab Spring, considering the people now recognized as virulent terrorists to be liberators.
 
Since Sweden was complicit in this effort, Sweden initially accepted hordes of immigrants from countries affected by the terrorists of the Arab Spring.
 
But as more and more of these migrants arrived in Sweden, it became apparent that they were not the highly civilized “freedom seekers” and “pro-democracy” activists that the originators of the Arab Spring were billed as in the press, which had grossly misrepresented them. In fact, for many years, the Swedish press had been too embarrassed to report that crime had risen as a result of the migrants they had once supported as freedom seekers.
 
But eventually this crime spike was impossible to sweep under the rug, and the crime-immigrant link roared into the oficial news:
 
'Most convicted rapists in Sweden foreign'
 
Now Sweden, and the rest of the EU, is paying for its naivete in supporting the Arab Spring a decade ago, foolishly accepting the media story of that time that Al-Qaeda and ISIS were good for Syria, and that the anti-Assad activists were fine upstanding citizens and should be welcomed in Europe — rather than the thugs that they were in reality.
 
The main conclusion from this is that Westerners need to be wary of their media and politicians.
 
But instead of learning this lesson, they are accepting the equally foolish conclusion, namely, that the blame for all the chaos and death in the Middle East goes to the Muslims rather than to the US and EU, without whom the bloodshed would not have happened.
 
And, of course, they are paying the price.
