NATO COMMANDER: Terrorists “a daily part” of refugee flow into Europe.

[U.S. Air Force Gen. Philip] Breedlove said Russia’s actions in Syria have “wildly exacerbated the problem.” Despite its public pronouncements, Russia has done little to counter ISIS, but instead has bolstered Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Russia and Assad, Breedlove said, are using mass migration as a weapon to overwhelm European support structures and break European resolve. He cited the use of barrel bombs, which are unguided weapons and have no military value, against civilians in Syria. The only purpose of these indiscriminate attacks is to terrorize Syrian citizens and “get them on the road” and make them problems for other countries, Breedlove said.

Didn’t John Kerry negotiate a ceasefire in Syria?
