» Libya Threatens to Ship Hundreds of Thousands of Migrants to Europe Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!

This is a very sick threat, and it isn't the first time Libyans have used it successfully. What of the Africans who are being used in this manner? Not a single thought for their welfare, just pawns in a game. I think it is time for a resurgence of gunboat diplomacy where Libya is concerned, If they will send boats, sink the boats before they can leave port, turn the boats around at sea and if needs be destroy the ports from which they sail.

Europe should make it plain immediately, anyone who comes by this route will not be allowed to settle in Europe, such a policy has been proven to stem the tide and bring order.

Why did we have to wait a year to hear news like this?

Russia bombs 448 terrorist targets in Syria | World | News | Daily Express

What I think we have seen in Syria and Iraq is tokenism but just like 9/11 awakened america the downing of a russian plane awakened Russia. America is now too embroiled in its election cycle to fully step out, so Russia is free to move and take revenge for its citizens and they won't have any debate at home as to whether they should do it. Obama makes war on pipelines, while Putin makes war on muslims

There is a theory that the reason that the Islamic State is attacking outside it's territory is because they are losing territory in the Lavant . At least that is the theory I heard from Will McCants of the Brookings Institute ,author of 'The ISIS Apocalypse' .I'd like to think that is the reason over something like them attacking outside their territory because they've gained the capacity and confidence .
If this is an effort to make their enemies abroad pay a price for the operations against them in their areas of control ,the last thing we should be doing is taking the pressure off them. That would be exactly the wrong signal to send.

Terrorists attack targets of opportunity to spread terror, and cause their opponents to divert their attention. Daesh is unusual in that they have taken and held territory but they have enemies they want to attack. Think about it. Turkey, for allowing the US to use airbases, Lebanon, attacking a hezbollah, shiite area, Russia for the syrian campaign, Paris; attacking the French for their part in the Syrian campaign, which means the US, Australia, Britain, the Gulf states are also on the list when the opportunity presents. The only thing that will stop it is vigilance and stopping the flow of migrants where they can hide and infiltrate.

Daesh will have realised that they will be unable to expand their territory further and so they will attack targets outside their
territory

IS: 'We swear that we will strike America'

Islamic State has warned in a new video that countries taking part in air strikes against Syria would suffer the same fate as France, and threatened to attack Washington.
The video, which appeared on a website used by IS to post its messages, begins with news footage of the aftermath of the Paris shootings, in which at least 129 people were killed.
The message to countries involved in what it called the "crusader campaign" was delivered by a man dressed in fatigues and a turban, and identified in subtitles as Al Ghareeb the Algerian.
"We say to the states that take part in the crusader campaign that, by God, you will have a day, God willing, like France's and by God, as we struck France in the centre of its abode in Paris, then we swear that we will strike America at its centre in Washington," the man said.

Some towelheads in the ME think that we will be cowered by their threats, what we say to them is bring it on, your black flag and your black pyjamas don't frighten us.

IS vows Australian revenge attack

This is a nation that has never been cowered, we have had some battle losses but we have been there at the victory. In making these threats they should remember that we were the terror of the German army in WWI, we turned the japanese back in New Guinea with a few ill trained teenagers in WWII. We say to the Daesh sympathisers here stand up, but we know you are cowards, the murderers of women, children and old men. In Paris you shot and bombed unarmed people, Cowards, in fact, the term daesh means exactly that. So come on you towelheads in Lakemba and Punchbowl, in Auburn and Granville, you see we know where you live and greater are those who are against you than are for you. The last one of you who tried it lay dead in the street after he killed an unarmed man and that is the fate that awaits all of you

The war on terror has become a war on drugs or is it the other way around?

Syria is a major drug dealer and manufacturer of amphetamines in the middle east and it is affecting the war there. The war is being fought by drugged up terrorists on both sides. Now there is nothing new about drugs in war, the americans in vietnam were off their face but this gives fresh perspective

Syria war: Captagon drug fuelling both sides

How do you tell what you are fighting for

smoothy · Nov 20, 2015, 03:08 PM

Why am I not surprised. That seems to be a common theme in areas where illegal drugs are produced anywhere in the world.

paraclete · Nov 21, 2015, 03:24 PM

I don't think we should be surprised, islam has never prescribed drugs just alcohol and some of the savagery has to have a source and amphetamines causes rage and irrational behaviour but we might be instructed as to how the muslims will infiltrate the west

It is apparent that Turkey's plan for regime change in Syria will not succeed, it is a distrubing development that they should choose to shoot down a russian plane even if it did momentarily cross an undefined border. This is not a mistake but a deliberate approved act in support of Turkist supported rebels. The best thing Turkey could do here is advise the turkmen to withdraw so as to avoid the future potential for escalation. Russia is unconcerned about the political aspirations of any forces opposed to the syrian regime. They have said many times they do not distinguish between one terrorist and another. Killing a parachuting pilot will be regarded as an act of terrorism. Audio has been provided of a warning in english, so who did the turks think they were speaking to? English is not the langauge of Russians, or Syrians so did they think they were speaking to americans?
