Ukraine now consume less Russian gas that Russia can sell to Germany and another countries in order to buy more luxuries for the Russia ruling elite.

Russia government is not doing any favor to Russian people in East Ukraine.

Russia government is the worst enemy of Russian people in East Ukraine. Worst than Kiev criminals, much more hypocrites.

Germany is going to take around a million this year. And they want to continue doing this for several more years.

Even though it wasn't Germany who spearheaded the NATO invasions of Iraq/Afghanistan/Libya in the past decade. Nor was it Germany who supported all the anti-Assad rebels in Syria, who unsurprisingly turned out to be ISIS and Al-Nusra.

They were participants but not the leaders.

Germany is "being punished for its Nazi past".

 

[Desert Fox]

Agreed, They should have pay price the mistake they made. But you hold only US/EU accountable, what about arab countries like Saudi Arabia?

Saudi Arabia is western ally. How come America doesn't force them to accept most of Syrian refugees? ?

US is responsible for the mess and should take more Syrian refugees.

Among them, probably another Steven Jobs or Mitch Daniels will come up and contribute hugely to US society!

@AndrewJin @terranMarine

US is really a smart country, probably 50% of those 10,000 "Syrian refugees" are in fact anti-Assad pro democracy political dissidents，if i organise an anti-CCP protest, i will too immediately get american citizenship.

And you know what's funnier ?? the other 50% "Syrian refugees" are probably the most highly educated part of the ME population, scientists，engineers,etc...... BTW, if u are a Syrian scientists but not a refugee, they will make u a refugee, if you are a poor scientist but not a Syrian, they will make u a Syrian.LOL......in another words, US got to pick the best, EU get the rest. LOL.......

Saudi Arabia?

Saudi Arabia Refugee Policy Controversy: King Salman Condemns 'False Accusations' Over Resettlement Policy

Saudi Arabian officials continued this week to refute criticism that the country was not doing enough to help Syrian refugees. King Salman joined the defensive Monday, saying during a cabinet meeting that critiques were “false and misleading accusations.” As the refugee crisis in Europe continued to heighten, with thousands of refugees arriving to the continent's shores daily, Saudi Arabia has come under fire for not taking enough refugees from neighboring Syria.

More than half of the 380,000 people who have arrived in Europe since January are fleeing war-torn Syria, according to data from the United Nations. Damascus, the capital of Syria, is approximately 620 miles from northern Saudi Arabia, and many experts and politicians watching as refugees travel thousands of miles to get to northern Europe have slammed the Saudis for not taking in more Syrians.

Saudi Arabia came under renewed criticism after journalists discovered Monday that the nation had over 100,000 empty air-conditioned tents in the western town of Mina that could be used to temporarily board refugees. The tents are only used a few days out of the year to house people making the pilgrimage to Mecca and could shelter up to 3 million people.

Saudi officials have defended the stance, saying their country has taken more than 2.5 million refugees from Syria, more than all of the European nations combined, state news agency SPA reported. An estimate from TeleSUR put the number of Syrian refugees in Saudi Arabia closer to 500,000.

A 2010 aerial picture shows thousands of tents housing Muslim pilgrims crowded together in Mina, near the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Mina is only occupied several days of the year, and authorities have criticized Saudi Arabia for not using the 100,000 empty tents to house refugees from neighboring Syria. AFP/Getty Images

Syrians are not treated as refugees in Saudi Arabia in order to "preserve their dignity and safety and [give] them complete freedom of movement," according to a member of the foreign ministry, who spoke to Reuters Friday on the condition of anonymity. Since Syrians do not have refugee status, Saudis say their numbers are difficult to quantify, leading to misrepresentations in the media.

Saudi Arabia "will always remain at the forefront of countries supporting the brotherly Syrian people and will not accept any overbidding in this matter or questioning its positions,” said Adel Altoraifi, the minister of culture and information, as reported by Al-Arabiya, a Saudi-owned news outlet.

UNHCR hails Saudi aid for Syrians | Arab News

UNHCR - Signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to support internally displaced persons in Yemen


And before you jump on another Arab country I suggest you do your homework:

In a statement provided to The Associated Press, the Emirati government said it has provided residency permits to more than 100,000 Syrians who have entered the country since 2011, and that more than 242,000 Syrian nationals currently live in the country. It did not provide details on the visa terms.

"The UAE has made it one of its foreign policy priorities to address this issue in a sustainable and humane fashion together with its regional and international partners," the statement said.

The Emirates is a major destination for guest workers and foreign businesspeople from around the world, including the Middle East. Residency visas are typically tied to an employing sponsor or a resident family member, and do not allow for an indefinite stay in the country or an opportunity to acquire Emirati citizenship.

More than 9 million people live in the Emirates, with foreigners outnumbering citizens more than four to one.

In addition to the visa extensions, the Emirates said it has provided more than $530 million in humanitarian aid and development assistance since 2012 in response to the Syrian crisis.

Part of that aid goes to fund the smallest of three refugee camps in Jordan, which is sheltering more than half a million Syrian refugees. The UAE-funded camp, known as Marajeeb al-Fhood, houses more than 4,000 refugees.

LOL ... I got your point bro!

The thing is some Syrian decendents are like Steve Jobs that become a pillar of American society, Obama should embrace them with open arms! Also these Syrian refugees will be much better assimilated into an open US society than into western Europe, and forget about mono-ethnic countries in other regions.
