This is a complete disaster. Honestly, if you think this is how things should be, then go ahead and head over to the World Cup; I bet those extremists can't wait until June arrives. Their President was right there at the stadium, yet the security services failed to anticipate any kind of attack. According to the latest reports, we're looking at at least 30 dead and 60 people taken hostage in some theater.

We need to tear it all down just like we did back in '93.☕

Man, everyone was freaking out thinking things were going to get crazy in Iraq or Brazil, but honestly, it looks like the real powder keg is going to be Islamist France.

Honestly, you can just mess around with these pathetic Frenchmen whenever you feel like it. 🤷

I'm watching the live feed on CNN right now, and the commentator is saying you can still hear gunshots in the background.

Honestly, those Russians are unstoppable. They just charge in and steamroll everyone.

Supposedly, one hostage managed to get a message out via Facebook.

Honestly, we should be focusing on people, not just building fences... zokieva ekipa s foruma:

The fact that there are already millions of unintegrated individuals isn't enough; apparently, we need even more, despite knowing full well they won't assimilate. It wasn't the first wave, and it certainly won't be the new one. At least not here in the West—we aren't the United States, where you can just absorb everyone...

Not sure if those refugees pulled this off tonight.

Of course they aren't. Those were established by people who have been living in France for thirty years already...

but I find it fascinating that all these new refugees seem to be doctors and lawyers, so there's really zero risk that in a few years they won't have reached that same level...

Just wait twenty or thirty years. What happens when their kids hit an identity crisis?

Signed. ☕

It’s obvious we shouldn't jump the gun regarding ISIS and their crowd. We need to pump the brakes. Let them finish whatever they're doing in God's name first, then react if things actually go south. 🤦

Refugees and migrants bring a different culture—and yeah, you'll find some creeps in there for sure. There should be law enforcement monitoring how people enter the country, but the issue lies elsewhere. It's like a robbery happening at a Walmart where $10 $0.00 goes missing; everyone condemns the theft, yet we turn around and vote for the Republican Party to run things.

Any updates? From what I've heard, terrorists have been threatening incursions into Europe too.

Yeah, probably just the folks who've been settled in France for three decades.
Or rather, about ten people who've been there for 30 years.
Ten.

In X years, a handful of kids in Berlin with Syrian roots will pull some nonsense.

And in the meantime, from now until then, way too many people across the continent are gonna get killed by purebred Europeans.

People everywhere kill each other over this or that, but it's always for the same reason—and it's not religion, culture, or race.

Groups like the IRA and ETA were the ones who actually invented "modern" terrorism—and they certainly took more lives than any Middle Eastern faction, let alone the influx of refugees or economic migrants.

The big cities getting targeted most often seem to be London and Rome, and if you look outside of Europe, it's definitely D.C.

They didn't even give us a heads-up about this attack—why would they bother now with the others? 🤔 It’s clearly not in their interest to reveal their hand regarding timing or location.

It's likely just some splinter cell of ISIS playing games. ☕

In whose name? 🙂

The constant moralizing really gets under my skin, and frankly, it’s obvious what’s happening here. It is one thing when random acts of violence occur daily—that’s just the nature of life—but it is quite another when you have an organized movement that you essentially invited onto your own doorstep, fully aware of their agenda. This isn't some social experiment designed to make the average citizen turn against immigrants, nor did this happen by accident. This pattern will play out across all of America, much like what we've seen in areas where radical extremists hold significant sway. In a few years, we might even find ourselves seeing this drama unfold at Madison Square Garden; you can never tell. We have always strived to be a beautiful, liberal West.

I honestly think we're looking at a massive failure within our intelligence agencies. They tried to thwart some attacks in Europe recently too—if I recall correctly—and failed miserably. In France, this is already the second time this year, but get this: the attack hit five or six different spots across the city, and they couldn't even track a single cell. 🤷

As for the attack itself, what kind of idiots were they expecting? People have been dealing with absolute chaos in the Middle East for fifteen years; people die there every single day, yet nobody reacts with the same level of hypocrisy we saw yesterday and today. Of course someone is going to step in and tear everything apart. Now I'm sitting here rereading an Obama speech, and I know he’ll find a way to turn this whole mess into an even bigger disaster. Honestly, he could have ended that war in Syria ages ago...

Honestly, no matter who you blame, this is just fuel for the fire for someone like Marine Le Pen. I mean, fifteen years ago, everyone was making fun of her family, but now? The smarter part of that family—her daughter—is proving she’s basically a PhD in politics. Even before all this, the woman was crushing it in the polls, regardless of how much the big media outlets tried to tear her down. I don't even want to think about the landslide she might grab if this kind of crap happens again. Every single incident just adds a mountain of new voters to her side. The Democrats over there are gonna have to find a new leader, and honestly, maybe even Jesus himself would need to step in to save them. They’re so incompetent that, compared to them, someone like Sarkozy looks like a master statesman.
It’s actually wild to me how some people just ignore the massive mess brewing across the Atlantic and Europe. You've got the far-right, the right wing, anti-immigrant movements, even those neo-Nazi groups... they're all surging. Like, seriously, in Sweden, the ultra-right has their biggest voter support right now🤣, and man, just ten years ago they could barely even squeeze into Parliament.
Over in Denmark, the right is in power, so they aren't just letting immigrants walk in through the front door; they're being pretty hardcore about it, and even the super-liberal Danes actually back them up on this.
I think Switzerland is run by the right too—well, there's some leftists in the government, but even without them, the right probably has like a 50% lead over the opposition. A buddy of mine in Switzerland tells me that even the immigrants there are feeling pretty anti-immigrant🤣, which, I guess, isn't that surprising when you see where they're coming from. Angela Merkel and her coalition are losing support fast in Germany, no matter how hard the media tries to push the narrative that everything is fine and everyone is welcoming the newcomers. Everything that came out from behind the Iron Curtain has been anti-immigrant, whether it's led by the left or the right. Around here, it doesn't really matter, and as for those folks over in the UK, I don't even think it's worth talking about. All in all, the political map of the West is gonna look totally different in the next ten years, and things could get real messy.

I just don't see how these intelligence agencies can actually get ahead of this—or even come close to it, really—unless they were somehow able to monitor every single person on the planet twenty-four hours a day. It’s just not happening. There is no way to predict if someone like Asamir is going to suddenly decide to go blow himself up near a suburban shopping mall and take innocent lives with him. We aren't dealing with your textbook, old-school terrorists here; these guys have likely been living in places like Paris or other major metropolitan hubs for years, and there are almost certainly more just like them scattered across various cities throughout the country. It feels like we're all just waiting for the clock to run out until they decide to end their own lives and take others down with them along the way.

The only way this whole nightmare finally stops is when they are completely wiped out. Trying to track down and arrest every single one of them is an impossible task, so, if you ask me, we might as well just accept that we're stuck with this reality. And honestly, all this talk about closing the borders? It feels like it's coming about twenty years too late to make any real difference.
