Federal Security forces in Europe are in a heightened state after the attack in Paris and now we see the first fruits of it.
Belgium is conducting operations, shots have been fired and terrorist killed.
Personally I think the terrorist misplayed their hand, underestimated Europe and confused the response to Russia with how they would be dealt with.
What do I mean?
Easy. You could look at what could be called a tepid response to Russian aggression in Ukraine by the Europeans and make the knee jerk reaction that they would be weak in all security related areas. I believe that's what the terrorist did.
They failed to take into account history. They failed to acknowledge the amount of fear that they instilled by their barbarism and they failed to note how much surveillance goes on in modern Western society. They basically did not understand that Russia is considered a rational actor and you can always negotiate with a civilized person or entity.
Islam has shown itself to be anything but civilized.
Europe is inching its way toward outright war with Islam. It might not be said aloud, might not even be acknowledged publicly, but if Belgium is kicking ass as we speak then you know its about to get vicious in Germany, France and the Scandinavian countries.
Pass the popcorn. We're about to see a history making fight in Europe...and the Russians will be on our side for this one.
I think LTC(R) Ralph Peters stated it quite clearly back in 2006: I have no difficulty imagining a scenario in which U.S. Navy ships are at anchor and U.S. Marines have gone ashore at Brest, Bremerhaven or Bari to guarantee the safe evacuation of Europe’s Muslims. After all, we were the only ones to do anything about the slaughter of Muslims in the Balkans. And even though we botched it, our effort in Iraq was meant to give the Middle East’s Muslims a last chance to escape their self-inflicted misery. http://nypost.com/2006/11/26/the-eurabia-myth-muslims-take-over-europe-sorry-theres-no-chance/
ReplyDeleteInteresting article by Ralph Peters.
DeleteRalph Peters produces great work.
DeleteRalph peter's Red Army is a great work too.. a realistic novel with good endings (depends on whose side you on lol)
Deleteif europe really go overboard and focused their hate toward islam and muslim people, then i dont know what to say.. i thought the last time some tinpot dictator blamed whole race of people and exterminate them , should teached the european of this lesson ? the stupidity and futility of blaming the whole people or religion.. these are just NAZIsm under new management...
Buntalanlucu, our skirmishes aside......you did mention previously that you were a Christian in a Muslim majority area/country. What have been your experiences ?
Deletethat muslims are normal human beings with conscience.. i saw political parties and other organization which used religion as their means fo achieve power here, it is the same as with others who want power, they will use money or religion or tribal/racial as their "supposedly" their base of supporter.. which ordinary muslims even laugh and joke about thee display of obvious hijacking of muslims (this in relation of local politics and organizations who tried to use 'islam'as id they represent islam)
DeleteMuslims here know these terrorist who used 'islam' are not real muslims, they called them "takfiris" which is like saying they are a cult of people who use Islam as their excuse to kill, rape, rob, steal, even to other muslims.. and they loath these people.. these by definition also include their loathing of ISIS antics which are really smearing islam itself and do more harm to islam..
there's no "persecution" here in general term regarding muslim and other religions.. clashes that occured are usually local conflict or politically motivated conflict disguised as religious one..
about hebdo's cartoons, it should be viewded as cultural and common sense ordinary human being interaction... respect your neighbours type of thing.. respect other culture.. one dont defecate and fling it to one's neighbour and calling it freedom of expression, one dont yell demeaning and insulting comments from his house for all to hear , to what purpose are thse people insulting other people's stuff ? let them believe what they wanted..
i really dont get this freedom of speech above everyhing that we call good and manners.. respect other people and other cultures and we all will be alive for a long time in this world peacefully..
or not
"The War After Armaggedon" was an excellent, if terrifying, read. Especially as an agnostic. It brought back particularly unpleasant memories of dealings with America's religious fanatics during the Reagan years and sentiment immediately following 9/11.
DeleteHis non-fiction work about the civil war was phenomonal as well. His real world experience through depictions of the command staff end is absolutely mind blowing. It makes his work very believable.

DeleteGood point above. I declare a truce Buntalanlucu. For now.
No need for truce as i am not looking for conflict with anyone..
DeleteI don't think they expected to win this round in the first place.
ReplyDeleteWe have dealt with much harder terror cells since RAF and Black September and have kept improving our response and counter measures. And remember that we don't have a Posse Comitatus Act, just a doctrine and legislation for the use of military against terrorists.
This is likely just violent recon by expendable cannon fodder.
Btw were you aware that Marines were training arctic warfare in Sodankylä Lappland this week? With temperatures from -15 C down to -35 celcius.
Turns out that the building they used unfortunately burned down while everyone was outdoors, with their passports and other stuff burning along with the building.
yeah but i was told that it was only a handful of Marines and one or two Soldiers from and unidentified US Army unit. didn't exactly get my juices flowing ...
Deletewhy blame islam for the sin of their takfiris ? these extremist are called takfiris by muslims because they are like a cult who used everything possible to achieve their own goals... these takfiris are abomination to muslims.. these takfiris are looked upon by muslims like how christians looked upon jim jones cult.. it is not representation of islam and muslim people.. im christian and living on majority muslim population and i knew islam practicioner are not the kind that keep potrayed by western mass media demonization propaganda.. it is immature and caricaturish to blame the actions of terrorist to the religion these killers claimed..
ReplyDeleteand what next if war against islam declared ? endless stream of ordinary innocent people whose only crime is because they are muslim, herded by cattle trains into concentration camps to be contained and exterminated ? didnt we humanity have similar kind of event happening before ? will muslim be the new scapegoat for world's problem ?
history do not repeat itself, but it rhymes...
Solomon is right on the spot, Europe is indeed inching towards war with Islam and these takfiris are glad to be part of the push. This Stratfor article is quite good http://www.stratfor.com/weekly/war-between-two-worlds#axzz3Oy8E7ZkV
DeleteThe "guilt by association" line of thinking is already beginning in Europe as well, with numerous incidents of anti-muslim sentiment. I consider it a radical backlash against a generation of PC unrealistic aspirations, which inevitably result in a clash of populations, sadly.
Deleteonce i read a horrible crime in tenesse, a young couple was carjacked by bunch of thugs , kidnapped and then both were raped, and then they shot the boy and burned his body while keeping the girl alive for days of continuous sexual abuse. then these criminals tried to kill the girl by pouring cleaning fluids in her mouth and throw her in dumpster , she still alive at that moment but in the end expired from suffocation of plastic wrapping her head..
Deletethe police tracked the vehicle via its GPS and captured the perpetrators..
the victims were white young couple.. the perpetrators were all black..
Would people blame the whole african american people for the horrible crimes these criminals commited ?
bunt, yes. That's population thinking for you. Hence racial profiling.
Deletegive me a link to that crime. i'd like to read it for myself.

Deletethis would have been a fitting punishment...
Deletehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_by_sawing
when i read about that crime, i literally felt sick in my stomach for hours.. it is another of those moment in your life that you realized you underestimated the capacity of human cruelty and evil to another human being..
Deletei dont know what kind of punishment by law in US for that crime, but certainly unless he repent he got his just reward in the place already reserved for him down below..
I heard today some crazy theory from some dude I work with. He hates Russia so he make every couple of days a rant about them... it is boring, I get used to it and everything he say enter one ear and exit the other. But today something stop in the middle and give me a pause... what do you think about that, I wonder?
ReplyDelete- The only winners in long term from terrorist attack in Europe is Russia because they create them and lead them. It was an Russian job, from creation of those "sleeper cells" to giving them the order to start. It is obvious that if you want to turn the attention from something you create the different point of interest, Kremlin turn the attention of Russians from inside problems creating the proxy wars and the Soviet method of "we are surrounded and everyone want to get us, of course every bad things is not our fault it is the "west" fault... everything!". But the reaction of world was much more strong then they anticipate, the problems rise to such level that they need to create some exit strategy. What is the most important thing Kremlin can't loose his face, if they do this they will be eaten by own people. So they pull out from the desk the "terror plan", they create the different danger, the BIGGER one. So they made the terrorists attacks and show that... Ukraine don't mater, Crimea don't matter... look only Islamist are mater, don't fight over some Ukraine let's leave it for us and we will help you fighting ISIS, let's unite against them.
Then he start to rant how some demonstrations in Germany were organized by Russians, how they chant there that Russia is a friend and we need to unite with them against Islamist. How they pretend to be multinational demonstrations with flags that are hold by fake foreigners... (you know what, in that moment I start to listen to him... there were some material about how people mainly old one, say to the reporter that we should support Russia, pull out the sanctions and how they are great friend... then the reporter curious walk to the men holding Polish flag and ask him about his opinion... that man stare at him and they walk away fast, the same situation repeat with different man, but this time reporter hear how that person speak in German to other one. It was a fake deal, they give the different nations flags to people to pretend the demonstration is multinational) ... ok then he speak something about Le Pen against sanctions... (I have no idea if that was what she said but it remind me what the info' write that she is sponsored by Russians)... and again about the words of Latvia official that they should improve relations with Russia to fight with ISIS...
Well from his rant start to appear the meritum, the Europe will ask Russia to bury the war axe and join it to fight the Islamists... and the Kremlin will answer, well if you are "asking politely" give us the Ukraine and we will join you... if you ask so nice.
- ok, it's maybe a crazy talk of some really, really hating Russia person... but I wonder, if this scenario is possible?
Organizing the terror attacks, I dont think so, I mean who knows but I dont think so. But Russia has a lot to gain with a divided europe, I have no doubt the Kremlins has its hands deep in all the radical parties in europe, from podemos, to seryza to the recent german anti islamist movement.
DeleteLe Pen already repeatedly stated in interviews and speech about her support toward russia.. how this will stand after she got elected , thats another story.. as it stands Le Pen firmly believed that it is EU's meddling in ukraine that caused the conflict and not russia..
Deleteas for your friend who hate russia , to what purpose ? i laughed and cried at the same time everytime i read a westerner complaining 'putin is evil' 'putin is devil' etc... i mean come on how naive and guillible is a person to be demonizing a single person and a single country ? and this goes without saying to those americans who always blamed 'obama this' 'obama that' , i mean come on, why blame obama when it is obvious he is just a puppet and a speech reader... the whole SYSTEM is the one to blame , not the usual suspects..
That interesting boy as I did not use in my post not a single time the surname of RF president and what is more surprising neither my friend. But you see everywhere the word "Putin"... you can do whatever you want with your feelings about "westerners" many things that child's do can be forgiven, but nether he or I are westerners... we are Poles, we are Central Europeans. And what is the most funny we have more knowledge about Russians and the Russian culture in single nail then you will gather thru your whole life... because in opposition to you, I live near them and visit them couple of times... how about you, you did visit Russia or even an Europe boy?
DeleteYeah well, here is the scorecard. http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/ BTW... if one is not willing to assimilate to the country they are moving to, they need to go back where they came from.
