I've stated this before, but after reading your excellent summary of this massive world crisis, i must say it again. Be wary of Erdogan. Be very wary of Erdogan.

Excellent newsletter Diane.

Part of this refugee problem is the unchecked population growth which hinders so much necessary economic growth. Pakistan and Nigeria each have populations over 200 million people. Small countries like Egypt and Vietnam have populations of around 100 million. A tiny country like Guatemala has a population of 19 million people. None of these countries have economies that can sustain such numbers.

Without being naive and smart-alecky……..whatever happened to the birth control pill? Oh yeah, it’s been around for over 50 years.

Unchecked population growth is due to lack of pensions in the third world. When you kniw you're going to get old, you have lots of kids who will take care of you.

Thanks for making it clear that refugees are weaponized by authoritarians to create political divisions all over the world.

About 40% of the world's population lives within 100 km (about 63 miles) of the ocean. When oceans rise, where will they live? Answer: Your living room.

Sadly, this well written newsletter describes man’s inhumanity to man, same song, different verse. The more things change; the more they stay the same. SIGH. 😞
