It's been a tough time recently. War in Syria and Iraq, Brexit, the migration crisis. A ballooning population. Countries still empoverished by the 2008 financial crisis. How to solve?

Like Sir David Attenborough, I agree the population of the planet going up from 3Bn to 7Bn is a big risk. We need better family planning, and to lift everyone in 3rd world out of poverty.

The Arab Spring, encouraged by the west, was a bad idea. Some countries aren't ready for democracy. Better to have a managed transition to democracy, rather than it brought on by violent revolution.

How to resolve Syria? Multi national stabilisation force. Combined with no fly zone, and intense diplomacy. Removing the violent groups by force.

How to solve migration crisis? Refugees are leaving war torn areas, for safe havens because their own counties are war torn.... They wouldn't have left had their not been a war in their homeland... As above, resolve the civil war, create a safe environment.

Merkel, UK, France and EU was reckless, encouraging Arab Spring violent revolutions, then failing to send buses and a ferry, saying that "anyone who makes it across Mediterranean sea, and up to Germany will be welcome" - but you've just left thousands to drown, send a ferry! EU and Merkel is responsible for all those deaths.

Merkel is now spending money hosting 1M people (those who could afford to pay people traffickers) in Germany. Would the money not have been better spent stabilising Syria? Estimates vary, but the cost is in the region of 30,000 Euros per person. That's 300Bn Euros it will cost, just for the ones already arrived. And Merkel still hasn't sent any stabilising peace keepers to Syria.

Libya is also in a predicament, caused by the same encouraged Arab Spring violent revolutions.
