Germany and France on high alert, warn of terrorist attacks.
What is going on, are they just doing this to muddy the water? I can't imagine ISIS is actually planning attacks on European soil that makes 0 sense.
You're viewing a single thread.
What do you mean when you say “you can’t imagine ISIS planning attacks on European soil?” That is their absolute bread and butter, do you not remember the various bombings and shootings that killed hundreds of people? The Paris shooting, the Brussels bombing, the Nice shooting, the London bombing, the Manchester Stadium bombing, etc.
There have been dozens of attacks in the last 10 years.
ISIS, a violent deranged religious fundamentalist organization, is doing random violence for the sake of it, how can this be?
This community's reaction to this latest attack has been weird as fuck tbh.
Honestly I think it’s because everyone expected it to be Ukraine, and having ISIS or Chechens appear was absolutely not anticipated at all by anyone.
It might be reasonable to say that Ukraine had no part in this and ISIS saw a target of opportunity while Russia was distracted, and that’s something that no one expected.
I don't mean that it's impossible but the timing seems weird. Western media is still running with ISIS, which isn't impossible but if they are responsible it seems very likely that they were backed by the US. So why would they decide to carry out attacks in Europe now? I don't see how that would serve their interests, although I guess the same is the case for previous attacks on European soil. Still, given how ISIS is pretty much gone at this point and is likely dependent on CIA/Mossad backing would they be allowed to carry out attacks in Europe? Maybe I'm missing something tho, this whole ISIS thing is admittedly breaking my brain so if you can make sense of it I'm happy to listen.
