Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says a lot of weird things, but he got one issue right on Monday, Russian airstrikes against ISIL in Syria are a good thing.
When asked about his vision of US foreign policy, Trump said that he’d make the US military so big and strong that no one would “mess with [the United States].”
“If Russia wants to go into Syria and bomb the hell out of ISIS, I’m sort of ok with that,” Trump said during a talk with NBC’s anchor Matt Lauer. “If Putin wants to go in and drop bombs on ISIS, I’m ok with it, but we have to do it too.”
Trump also added that if he becomes the next US president, he’d have a good relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
He also criticized the US government’s decision to take in refugees from Syria. Earlier this month, Trump said that he’d send all Syrian refugees back, if he gets elected.
“If that happens, I’m sending them back,” Trump said.
Prior to this interview, Trump has made some scandalous claims during his presidential run. For instance, he promised to build a wall on a Mexican border if elected, and claimed that Iraq and Libya were better off with their dictatorial rulers.
The former real-estate mogul is now a leading candidate from GOP with 32 percent of support among Americans, according to recent polls.

Migrants traveling to the welfare haven of Sweden are to be housed in a Lapland ski resort while Swedish citizens themselves continue to labor under the burden of a housing shortage.
The Swedish migration board has struck a deal with Lapland Resorts, the owner of Riksgränsen, to house 600 migrants in the world’s most northerly ski resort.
“As everyone knows, there is a refugee crisis in the world. Now asylum seekers are arriving in Sweden and the Migration Board has a major urgent need to find temporary housing to accommodate all those who need help. We at Lapland Resorts AB are very pleased to be able to help,” Sven Kuldkepp, CEO of Lapland Resorts, told Swedish newspaper Norrbottenskuriren.
The Hotel Riksgränsen offers spa treatments, massages, a swimming pool, a bubble bath and a sauna as well as “spectacular” mountain views from its bedrooms.
The migrants will be allowed to stay at the resort until February, when the tourist ski season gets underway. More migrants are being transported to northern Sweden despite some of them complaining that the environment is too harsh.
“It was terrible, just wind and snow, and the roads were slippery. The moment we got out of the bus we slipped and fell down,” said Esam Taha, one of a group of migrants who initially refused to enter a refugee center near Östersund after being told by officials they would be taken to Stockholm.
While migrants enjoy the amenities of the ski resort, Swedish citizens continue to be burdened by a housing shortage exacerbated by the large numbers of immigrants the country takes in each year. Some politicians are also urging citizens to give up their garages in order to house third world immigrants.
Sweden is set to take in more refugees this year than ever before, with Prime Minister Stefan Löfven recently announcing that tent cities would need to be created in order to accommodate them all.
With European countries simply unable to cope with the numbers, hotels and other resorts are having to be repurposed in order to accommodate the wave of migrants.
As we reported last week, migrants are being housed at a 4 star hotel in Germany while Germans themselves are being evicted from their homes to make way for asylum seekers.
Sweden is often cited as an example of what happens when extreme liberalism runs rampant.
Earlier this month, a lesbian Bishop in Stockholm proposed removing crosses from a Christian church and replacing them with Islamic symbols in order to cater for Muslims.
Some politicians have even called for giving free housing, jobs and welfare to returning ISIS jihadists – all at taxpayer expense.
Sweden is also a country that hires ISIS-sympathizers to run its immigration boards. The country’s taxpayer-funded “expert” on Islamophobia, Michael Nikolai Skråmo, also went on to join ISIS.

Thousands of tourists have been stranded due to landslides caused by unseasonably heavy rain and snow in mountainous northeastern Pakistan.
At least 3,000 tourists, mostly Pakistanis, were stranded in the towns of Naran and Kaghan on Monday, said Abdullah Khan, a National Highway Authority official, adding that long lines of cars were on roads blocked by piles of snow.
“We have been working all night with the army engineers and the local administration, and we have now opened the routes between Naran and Kaghan and the Babusar Pass, removing landslides from the road,” he said.
One person was killed and 20 others were injured in the village of Bassar Pass in Kaghan after their gemstone mining camp collapsed under the weight of snow, police said.
Pakistan’s capital city of Islamabad, also located in the country’s northeast, was drenched with a record-breaking 136 millimeters (mm) of rain on Sunday. The previous single-day record in October was 49.4 mm.
El Nino
“For October, this has been the worst rainfall we have seen for at least 30 years,” said Hazrat Mir, a senior official at Pakistan’s Meteorological Department.
Meteorologists have blamed the heavy rains on the El Nino climate event, Mir said, adding that more rain is expected this week.
El Nino, a key weather pattern, occurs when the waters of the Pacific Ocean become exceptionally warm and distort weather conditions across the globe.
In a separate Monday incident, at least four people were reported killed in northwestern Pakistan as a result of a 7.5 magnitude earthquake that rocked neighboring Afghanistan, sending tremors that were felt in Pakistan and India.
A Pakistani official said more than 100 people were also injured in the northern Swat Valley.

Drone footage highlights the scale and drama of the long flow of Middle Eastern refugees from one camp to another, after crossing the Croatia-Slovenia border. The journey was made by several thousand Muslim illegal immigrants, winding up in the Slovenian border town of Rigonce.
The footage shows the group huddling together on the Slovenian side at the border settlement, after traveling in a long, slow procession.
The purpose of the journey was to relocate from one refugee camp to another.
The border crossing is a key transit point on the so-called Western Balkan refugee route through southeastern Europe in their quest for conquering Europe and changing it beyond any recognition in just a few years. Since mid-September, approximately 250,000 illegals are thought to have made it, with more than 11,000 arriving to Croatia on Saturday alone. Over the last 10 days, over 60,000 have crossed over into Slovenia.
The footage comes on the heels of an EU agreement with Balkan leaders on a 17-point plan aimed at tackling the wave of refugees and migrants flooding the bloc’s member states via the Balkan Peninsula, the EU Commission said after their meeting in Brussels.
Leaders representing Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, the former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia convened in the Belgian capital early Monday for the signing.

The United Nations, often ridiculed as the “dictators club” by critics, is actually the “Parliament of Humanity” and “a beacon for all humanity,” declared UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon in statements celebrating UN Day on the 70th anniversary of the global outfit’s founding.
In a bizarre speech given in New York City amid the controversial celebrations, the UN boss even went perilously close to deifying the scandal-plagued organization he leads, claiming it brings hope, peace, security, and sustenance to the world. He also said humanity has a duty to unite behind the UN and its blue flag. The dangerous implications of turning the dictator-dominated UN into a global parliament, though, were left unaddressed.
The extremist remarks from the UN chief came ahead of the UN’s global celebration of UN Day on October 24. This year, the festivities saw hundreds of monuments — ranging from Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro and the Great Wall of China to the Empire State Building in New York City — turned “UN Blue” as part of a “turn the world UN Blue” gimmick. The theme of this year’s anniversary: “Strong UN. Better World.” Various UN leaders, dictators, and government officials also praised the UN and its efforts. Obama, a staunch UN proponent, joined in, too, issuing a “presidential proclamation” urging all 50 governors and “officials of all other areas under the flag of the United States” to “observe United Nations Day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.” He also called on everyone to “summon the spirit of unity and cooperation at the heart of the United Nations Charter.”
To mark the occasion, which often sees American critics of the UN burn its controversial blue flag in anti-UN ceremonies, UN boss Ban said there is only one flag for all humanity: the UN flag. “National flags are a mark of pride and patriotism in every country around the world,” he said in a statement sent out with a press release. “But there is only one flag that belongs to all of us.” Growing up in wartime Korea, Ban continued, the blue flag of the UN was a “banner of hope for me.” Of course, the UN, its founders, and many of its member regimes were primarily responsible for the horrors Ban alluded to, so it was not immediately clear why the UN flag would represent a banner of hope. Meanwhile, the mass-murdering regime in North Korea remains a proud UN member to this day, with a vote in the UN General Assembly given equal weight to the vote of the U.S. government.
