> Asylum today is basically: "look, Russia, US, UK, France and coalition blew up my middle eastern country, so now countries like Denmark

No-no-no, Denmark took an active part in Iraq invasion and was also invaded Libya. Refugee crisis isn’t just about Syria.

Rintzler89 is still right though. Hardly any asylum seekers in eastern european countries because “nordic welfare” > “eastern european welfare”

Not an easy thing to fix

Which middle eastern conflict did Austria take part in?
They contributed Troops to the ISAF troops in afgahnistan for example.

Correction: wrote Usaf instead of ISAF

OEF != ISAF https://web.archive.org/web/20220120001326/http://www.nato.i...

OEF is an NATO Operation, Austrias policy is not to join any International primary Military Organization.

OK, good. So ... 3 soldiers

(about 20% of Tonga's contribution)

Austria: GDP $516.0b, pop 9.0m

Tonga : GDP $000.5b, pop 0.1m

So Tonga 1/1000 GDP and ~1/100 pop contributed 5x more soldiers than Austria.

There's a Coldplay song:

Tonga: "Para-para-para-dise"

Austria: "Para-para-para-site"

What?

Austria not Australia.

Both countries sent troops, australias was much bigger.
