Sorry, what can't I do? I'm not sure what "card" I'm playing.

I said there was instability in the region causing issues and the response was "but those issues were already there 1000 years ago." Your own link is about the conflict in the region at that time and your quote points to that conflict having already been quite entrenched for some time.

What do we owe them if they played a hand in causing their own issues?

It's called basic human empathy.

But even from a purely selfish POV helping to improve things outside of Europe is going to help to reduce to pressure on systems and cultures within Europe by reducing the likelihood of someone needing to emigrate.
