Are we "American's"that gullible?Here we go again with the war propaganda! When our government stop bullying & distorting value & truths this world will be a better place! Not just for the ELITE but all ppl.Playing politricks once more to get us involved in another false flag game of military chess is exactly what's bankrupting us & creating these kinda violent acts(well when we're playing both sides) enough is enough America! It's time to change the theme in this country of spreading fake democracy & creating puppet governments to further your Elitist world dominance! Evil begets Evil!!! ::
Actually, there is a yes and no to the bankrupting aspect.
Historically, war and wartime spending is the ONLY thing that keeps this ponzi scheme afloat. It doesn't help the average citizen or soldier as much as it helps the pockets of the owners. But when wars stop and the money stops flowing into the MIC coffers you might want to question what's going to drive the economy.
The massive spending would still go towards factories & programs in America, but it wouldn't come with the same blowback that our wars provoke. The problem is most MIC supporters only have a problem with spending tax money when it comes to helping poor Americans or when it's on programs that actually improve America's infrastructure. But they have no problem with us running deficits & spending enormous sums of taxpayer money if it's for war.
i see no proof of ww3 as usual. just more sabre rattling, normal after an attack. nothing to see here folks.
I did read the thread. However, over-reacting to anything reported by the Ministries of Propaganda (aka MSM outlets) to suggest this is WW3 is by and large the reaction that TPTB want from people.

a reply to: BuzzyWigs>>>> I still don't buy that ISIS is a real threat. Oh, they are real enough, they just seem to have to be propped up and they get an awful lot of help finding just the right target and the right time in which to attack. They're being bankrolled and moved around and IMO are being used as pawns so we can carve Syria up along with the Russians and increase our presence over there again. And we're supposed to be afraid of the Russians, too. And China. World War 2.5 or a very hot new cold war. I don't buy it. The more they try to sell something to us, the more I'm skeptical. That goes double for global warming. Make that triple.
At a G20 summit in Turkey, world leaders promised tighter co-operation in the wake of the attacks.
Mr Obama said the US and France had made a new agreement on intelligence sharing but said US military advisors thought sending ground troops to combat Isis would be a mistake.
He reiterated his opposition to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad remaining in power but said "our enemy in Syria is Daesh [IS]".
He promised more resources for the security forces and said the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier would be sent on Thursday to bolster the military campaign against IS.
On Sunday night, French aircraft attacked Raqqa, IS's stronghold in Syria. French officials said 10 jets had dropped 20 guided bombs targeting sites including a command centre, a recruitment centre for jihadists, a munitions depot and a training camp.
The European component will be conventional and quite dramatic. It will be devised so it can be followed like a spectator sport. And the Internet will become a hotbed of armchair generals.

And if Kenya had the power to hit at their terrorists, would they not?

The coverage is all over CNN right now, if you can watch their stream or have a tv.
I haven't looked at other sources, but it's developing REALLY fast. Much more muscled-up response than there was to the Boston thing - then Charlie Hebdo - this was not just a few people at a specific place. This was multiple attacks - one at a stadium, one at a packed concert hall - and others in restaurants and clubs.....
This is starting to blur the lines between nutjob asshats VS full blown 9/11-level terrorism.
This really was an attack on the West. They're already in France, and the UK, and other European countries (two of these guys were French and Egyptian nationals with impeccable French). There's no way to not expect there aren't any all over Europe. It just seems to have escalated beyond "regional strife."
It just got World-Wide status. Putin is even going to meet with Obama and everybody...
