Tell me your sane leaders in the “west”. Was it George Bush, David Cameron, Trump, Johnson who is it?

I'm in West-Central Europe, the ones taking in refugees. The people you mentioned are the ones creating them, so ask them.

Why dont you tell us about how sane your leader is?

So, one of the countries which has increased Nazi/Ultra-nationalist votes in the recent years? pick any :D literally. Europe with the very small percentage of refugees taken in, per capita, has already went full on ultra nationalist, even in places like Sweden.

So, we should be more fair to Turkey handling literally, not metaphorically, millions of refugees. It is easy to talk about humanitarian values, when you're outsourcing Turkey to do it for you.

I know right?! These damn European Nazis, giving refugees free food, free housing, free top medical care, free education out of their own taxes. Shame on them! /s

Oh, you mean discrimination? I'm white, Eastern European living in Western Europe and if I'd have a biscuit for every time I have been discriminated here I'd be fat for life. And yet, I don't call everyone who doesn't like me a nazi.

Well, I am white and Eastern Europe too. I don't mind countries refusing to take in refugees. I just don't like the hypocrisy and virtue signaling. Turkey is just being very direct and open, instead of virtue-signaling and keeping face acting "humanitarian". Yet this same country holds most amount of refugees in comparison. Maybe, they know a thing or two about the whole ordeal.
