I would invest in a fortified city in the middle east with added security and let people flee war there instead of having to go all the way to western countries. there they'll be able to claim asylum to their country of choice and when they are given a visa they'll get a free flight there.
The problem is - which country in the middle east will agree to host this city?

At the risk of sounding overly cynical, while it's great that Mr. Soros is donating this money to a worthy cause, I wonder if, as long as he's feeling charitable, he might also be willing to stop domiciling his investment vehicles in jurisdictions known for supporting tax evasion/avoidance.

As far as I can tell the article tries to make the point that the Soros foundation is trying to manipulate global policy.
Which ... Yes. That's what these organizations do, and it's been essential to the process of developing good policy, over the last hundred years... There is absolutely nothing embarrassing about that memo. If I had written it I would be proud to see it leaked.
