This happened four hours ago and yet no police press conference?
Why have the government not had COBRA meeting yet??
And why has their not been any word of JTAC on the security levels?
Just a few things am starting to wonder about
Government's emergency Cobra committee to meet Theresa May will chair a meeting of the Government’s emergency Cobra committee on Tuesday following the Manchester explosion which is being treated as an “appalling terrorist attack”. The Prime Minister said the authorities were working to establish what happened at the Manchester Arena, after 19 people were confirmed dead following reports of an explosion at an Ariana Grande concert.

I get that. I understand the tactics behind the way the attacks are done.
I just don't get the reasoning behind them as in like an overall plan. The attacks themselves I understand and I can see that they are effective.
It's the reasoning of why and the purpose or end game reasoning for them that I don't get. Someone among them must understand that basic random terrorism can't accomplish anything but more and more violence and death.
Even war has goals to reach and a purpose or it's just chaos without direction or meaning.

Simple. They want us all to be Muslim.
I really do think it may be that simple.
They believe they are supposed to kill infidels. Simple religious fanatics judging the West for its lifestyle and believing it is their duty to kill them. A concert full of youth having fun and enjoying themselves is probably infuriating to the evil killers behind this.

I sense this will be a huge tipping point. There is no bigger clash of culture than a suicide jihadist blowing up teen and preteen girls at a pop concert. It breaks the mind.
Yup, seems like a good excuse to drop some bombs.

Their reasoning is simple.
X is mad at Y so go kill Z.
Makes perfect sense.
Ok. So who is X, Y and Z and which one is the one who actually benefits in the end???
