isis is a clear threat. I have been in involved in assessing and reporting their dangers for over a year. The danger may not be readily apparent to the novice or armchair intell analyst. The fighters come to surrounding countries and then get trained, fight and head back to their home nations. Even US and Eurpeeing citizens are going over for the radical experience and coming back with the taste of infidel blood on their pallet. This has been a surprise for the blind and politically savvy cowards. Sent from my iPod touch using Grasscity Forum
oh yes, not denying they are a threat to the areas that they are occupying. if you want to sell me the idea that they're a threat to western nations such as the US, you'll have to do more than some passive insults
Did you find something insulting towards you? if so, you are mistaken. The comments were made towards the politicians from the highest level acting surprised. If the part about the blind bothers you it is not meant as an insult as much as fact. if you are one of those politicians then lets debate your ignorance of this group and your false surprise. I am telling you they are a threat to western nations because of who they train, where those insurgents are coming from, and where they are returning to. All pretty much under the radar. A return of the Caliphate is meant to be a universal promise for these guys, not just in Iraq, Syria, or Iran. It has the greatest potential to be the greatest threat of our century. this is one group that we must monitor closely and be ready to take the most extreme measures with.
http://theconversation.com/an-isis-caliphate-is-bad-news-for-iraq-syria-and-everywhere-else-28688 Check out the next to last paragraph, this is the threat. I have watched the evolution of these guys since about 2011 or so when I was working at the embassy Oman, 3 awesome years, everyone should check out the Iribi sect of Islam!!
When you say a threat to western nations, do you mean they'll be an annoyance like terrorism can be or something bigger, like a complete overhthrow of our system? Just curious.
Our system, No it won't cave under terrorism. Annoyance? The things that annoyed us killed last time almost 3,000 on our soil in a few hours. How much more would you like to allow them? they would surely like to give you all you can tolerate.
Ought to try fishing there. 2-3 miles out and you can be in 900-1400ft of water. This guy is an Omani from Zanzibar, Sultan Qaboos' father allowed them in before his son overthrew him. The fish was about 80lbs according to him, looked bigger to me.
Not unusual to go into a restaurant and an Omani or group of men sitting down in their dish dashes throwing back beers and mixed drinks.
I recall Bashar Assad (while i dont condone his actions) warned in 2010 that world support for terror (those fighting him) will only grow and spill over the border..... and the rest is history. Now world leaders are busy appearing like they care, and are looking for ways to break ISIS. In one article i read today, they are portraying ISIS like they have unlimited funding, and they are arguing over where that funding is coming from. It's like none of those leaders head about the ISIS' half-a-billion-dollar bank heist! Sad thing is, there are morons out there that think world leaders care.
don't think so, I think ISIS is same threat as nazis where during world war II to world piece, USA and NATO will have to act or we all will be fucked..... SJ
