Paris terrorist attacks and hostage situation

[archibaldcrane]

UBL likely doesn't become radicalized in the same manner. Israel probably sees way more activity as a result.

Exactly what I thought.

Bombing Raqqa doesn't beat isis

but it feels good

[Churchill]

Israel probably isn't Israel anymore, not without a WWIII type scenario actually. Israel either drops a nuke and starts WWIII (or, tries to, and goes it alone because wtf, nukes?)

Barring any involvement in flashpoints such as Bosnia or Somalia. AQIM has its roots in the warlord conflicts of the early 90s so that isn't a stretch - also where future AQI Commander Abu Ayyub al-Masri gets his feet wet while UBL is taking out embassies (Africa)

Edit: Good to remember that guys like Abu Ayyub and UBL, al-Zarqawi, etc, these aren't poor kids disillusioned with the world. They were all educated mofos. There's no shortage of people across castes ready to join the jihad, it's just that smart dudes wont become suicide bombers and all because that's now inshallah.

didn't nostradamus say ww3 would spawn from the middle east? :3

Maybe Republicans want to keep Syrian refugees out of the US, because they refuse to prevent terrorists from buying guns once they are here?

From 2004 to 2014, over 2,000 terror suspects legally purchased guns in the United States

"Membership in a terrorist organization does not prohibit a person from possessing firearms or explosives under current federal law," the Government Accountability Office concluded in 2010. The law prohibits felons, fugitives, drug addicts and domestic abusers from purchasing a firearm in the United States. But people on the FBI's consolidated terrorist watchlist — typically placed there when there is "reasonable suspicion" that they are a known or suspected terrorist — can freely purchase handguns or assault-style rifles.

dumb, but also not going to pretend like smuggling weapons is difficult.

This is 100% true.

[archibaldcrane]

It's another avenue to get caught before an attack actually happens, you know this. How many times has the FBI broken up a terror plot during the "materials acquisition" phase? It happens all the time.

[Churchill]

again no details, but that's mostly just because they are stupid and our surveillance is top notch baby

edit: also it's still ok to be racist here so that helps us catch terrorists

Germany vs Netherlands friendly soccer match just got cancelled. Stadium being evacuated. Not much info out yet but I'm reading suspicious suitcase was found

TMZ says there was an ambulance full of explosives outside. This may or may not be related to Charlie Sheen's HIV status.

too late its already started

Officially that is offensive and wrong.


Unofficially that is hilarious.

.

So much for hoping it was nothing.

[archibaldcrane]

I don't see anyone else reporting that.

On another note: Maybe Jews are secret Nazis!

[archibaldcrane]

Ok fair enough, that was before the Kristallnacht

Afterwards we really changed our tune

[Yuri-G]

I don't see anyone else reporting that.

The report originated from a German newspaper, and a number of news sources (google "german soccer game ambulance") have picked up on that report. IDK if it's true, obviously.

[Meph]

swedish media says the same (altho getting reports from germany)

[BaneTheBrawler]

I love that this is still a thing

no not the idea of "the next world war"

I mean that people are still kings

taking that "islam is in the dark ages" thing really seriously in Jordan lol

Shall we compare the powers the King of Jordan has versus the Queen of England?

[archibaldcrane]

This is a fascinating read, because I can't tell if it's deep-cover satire or orgiastic neocon wet-dreaming.

Church, is this what you are thinking for an endgame?

Lots of calls for decryption happening in the West, crisis vultures never sleep.

The hilarious part is Daesh and company are just making their own encryption apps and using them, meaning Big Brother is just going to get ordinary citizens info and not much else.
