If we wouldn't declare war on a place, we shouldn't be accepting refugees from that place. If we would accept refugees from that place, they should be expected to contribute to the war effort to liberate their home.
The war effort is the primary cause of refugees... You even implied yourself that being wartorn was bad. How is a 'do as I say, not as I do' mentality helpful? Evacuate all non-combatants, that is a golden-rule-compliant solution.
Life must end all violence before violence ends all life.
When did I ever imply the Golden rule was anything close to my ethical foundations? In cases where existence in another country is untenable due to tyrannical regimes we should be declaring war on said regimes and ending them with violence. The very necessity to accept refugees from a place means we have already judged that country as deficient. Is it enough then to merely help those few fortunates who manage to escape? No. No it's not. If we are going to extend THESE people help, then logically we must also believe those people still IN the country are worth helping if able. And we are more than able. Therefor, any accepting of refugees must morally coincide with the immediate declaration of war upon whatever nation it is we are accepting refugees from, with the intent of establishing a constitutionally compliant republic.
Nonsense. Violence is an intrinsic part of the human condition. War is Humanity and Humanity is War. To erase one is to erase the other.

So easy for you to say when you don’t have to worry about being persecuted for who you love, or for your religion, for political opinions, or if your region or country is embroiled in a civil war.
.... Considering I do get persecution for two of those three. Thankfully I don't love, so that one isn't a concern.
