This is part of the confusion and the lack of a game plan that the west finds itself in, there is no clear cut enemy, no target, they are in Syria and they are in your back yard. Strike either of those places and you risk high civilian casualties, the days of wars between professional armies are long gone, now it's guerrila warfare, sleeper cells and terrorists.
Let's imagine for a second that the worst happens, a terrorist group gets their hands on a dirty bomb, or worse and kills 100,000 in a single strike on a city in Europe. How does the west respond? Can they respond? Where and against who?
- Just have a sick feeling that this is going to get a lot worse for both sides before if ever it gets better_niko
- I Just read the article above,
“We need to develop the war into a real war, otherwise we will lose,” Espersen added. this is what I was fearing_niko - Beyond turning Isis cities into rubble causing huge civilian casualties, they would also create internment camps in Europe to protect against home grown threats_niko
- Dark days ahead, hope it never comes to that._niko
- If it came to that, the middle east would have to weed out the "bad" ones, execute them, etc. If not, it'd be WWIII in the middle east and the west would aimformed
- to take over the entire region, not worrying about civilians (if a dirty bomb happened, people wouldn't care about collateral damage, they'd want revenge).formed
- There is a clear cut enemy. Radical Jihadists.IRNlun6
- Agree it's the jihadists but they might as well be invisible._niko
- The real problem is getting consensus that it's a religious ideology that needs to be confronted.IRNlun6
- The fact that many still avoid calling it Islamic in fear it will inspire more terrorism speaks volumes in itself.IRNlun6
- President of France calling to dismantle mosques that radicalize is a great starting point.IRNlun6
- But no doubt this unfortunately is a war that will last a generation if not more.IRNlun6
- And of course the conspiracy theorist narrative will be that this is exactly what the U.S. or the military industrial complex or Israel wants and planned_niko
- Yup, just look what Israel has to deal with. They're being attacked daily but still accused to have somehow plotted this. Makes no sense.IRNlun6
- This is a convenient "reason" to bring ground troops in to Syria, oil oil oil.formed
- If, heaven forbid, an attack like that happened, parts of the Middle East will be turned to glass. People in charge would demand blood immediately.face_melter
- i was under the impression that "dirty bombs" can kill people for a long time. they cant, however. just makes the area uninhabitable. look it up :)sarahfailin
