if people “stick together”, in an exclusive way, then they are not integrated. If they do not speak the language of the country and thus stick to their own neighborhoods it is unlikely they are integrated. No, I havent met all of them. No one has. Do I converse deeply with Muslims every? No, do you? Yes I am using…

Clearly not Birmingham, Blackburn or Bradford in the UK. Italy I dont know. Netherlands and the UK I do. Amsterdam and Rotterdam have large Muslim populations. In these areas many Muslims cant speak Dutch and only have a rudimentary grip on English. Integration or rather the lack thereof is well recognized risk factor…

Oh yes, ok where did you stay?

I did intend to imply the US military is like a terrorist group, the analogy was meant to illustrate that a large support network is required to facilitate “successful” operation like we have seen in Europe. These support networks are to found in the big insular Muslim populations found in many European cities. The…

Those who act are tiny minority. Like the US. Only a small % of the population serve in the military but they supported by an entire population minus a couple. It is likely the terrorists have far wider support in the Muslim Belgium community than you think and that support can vary in its intensity.

probably as effective.

Nobody really gives a shit. Even if the US did it no one would give a shit about the effects, they would be very excited about using it to criticize the US though. Very.

Jerry-rigged not jury-rigged.

Its all code for we are starving send some aid.

I have read that Russian aircraft have strayed into Israeli airspace. Without “prior arrgngement”. How arrogant are they or how bad are their pilots/navigation systems? or both?

Yes.

Thats very likely.

I think the issue is more about what do you in 5 or 10 years from now? Will they go home? Will they stay? Will they intergate? Frances home grown terror closely linked to the lack of intergation of Muslims into French society. You find 2 or 3rd generation French Algerians who cant speak French, shun the French public…

I doubt much more needs to be done. Despite the attacks it would appear that ISIS is under increasing pressure on the battlefield will be driven out of those areas where people have a specific interest in seeing it happen (i.e. Kurdish lands). The French stepping up strikes is larlgey symbolic. They dont bring…

That is somewhat defeatist but if it makes you comfortable go for it.

Wasnt the Kursk an enhanced radiation weapon........

I have a tinfoil hat I can lend you. Its makes you immune to mind control rays.

if they are as stealthy as claimed they will not be a visible deterrent or so speak.

I can only comment on readily available information and a rational assessment. I certainly agree with your statement that the war has attracted many many foreign terrorist however its my view that it stemmed from a popular uprising within the Sunni population. Assad certainly isnt universally popular in Syria. And…
