Erdogan once again substituted

Эрдоган в очередной раз подставился

Last Friday, the Turkish leader, speaking on national television, mentioned Brussels as a target of possible terrorist attacks.

In the morning at Zaventem airport has thundered two explosions. Another one at the metro station “Malbec”, which is located in the neighborhood of the European Parliament. Killed more than thirty people, not less than two hundred wounded. But the data is constantly updated.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that he now likely regrets: “there’s No reason that exploded in Ankara a bomb exploded in Brussels. You warmed a snake, which at any moment could bite you. You will understand us, when the bombs will explode in your cities, but it will be too late.”

Pity, because now only the lazy has not noticed and not remembered it in this match. And, of course, the Internet is full of allusions to the Turkish authorship of this tragedy.

But coincided, and the other in the same Friday and in Brussels, was detained Salah Abdeslam, the alleged organizer of terrorist attacks in Paris. That, according to experts, and was the main reason for choosing the location of the attack. And the threat of Erdogan to terrorists was just a rare luck.

“I definitely appreciate what happened as a response to the arrest of one of the organizers of the terrorist attacks in Paris Salah of Abdeslam, — expressed his opinion the Deputy of state Duma, special representative of the OSCE parliamentary Assembly on counter-terrorism, Nikolay Kovalev, who formerly headed the FSB. — That is, it suggests that the intelligence agencies of Europe, Brussels and France worked exactly, and this is one of the leaders, the leaders of the terrorist underground.”

ISIS was planning terrorist attacks at airports and railway stations in Europe within two months, the Associated Press reported, citing a source in intelligence of Iraq, which, in turn, refers to sources in the Syrian city of raqqa. According to him, Iraqi officials warned European counterparts about the terrorists ‘ plans, but Brussels “has not been part of these plans”. Another senior source in the intelligence of Iraq told the Agency that ISIL began to plan the attacks two months ago in raqqa and reported, without going into details, that there are “three suicide bombers, who are preparing another attack.”

Hot on the heels of bloggers trying to figure out how to change the Old world after the attack on the capital of the European Union.

“The problem of Europe in that she was sentenced to decay, and, according to the same scheme as that of the USSR, only the tools are slightly different”, — said Ruslan Ostashko.

In my opinion, the approval has a right to exist, yet controversial. Too harsh methods are applicable to the partners, who are already defeated and agree on whatever they tell the Americans. One call from Washington to Brussels, and the borders between countries will be immediately restored with strict customs and passport control. Why reinforce the order of the bloody attacks.

“Why the terrorists attacked Belgium? — asks Hard Ingush (molonlabe). — I think one goal: to form a negative attitude towards migrants. This, in turn, will lead to their radicalization and will involve new recruits in a terrorist cell. They do not care who to blow up. It is a pity that the European politicians still do not understand”.

Actually, European politicians, of course, understand. But why would they be forced to personally increase the terrorist threat on the continent — a real puzzle. To solve that, without going into conspiracy theories, it is simply impossible.

The Guardian actually sign in full powerlessness before the terror. “No society can fully protect themselves from terrorist attacks, — the newspaper writes. — Because they are random and haphazard, no measure of protection will not save. Terrorist attacks cannot be prevented by any large-scale actions of the police, no surveillance, armies, navies, missiles and nuclear weapons. Intelligence and surveillance are limited, but murderers and terrorists with bombs will find a loophole in any fence.”

However, the article has a sensible idea: the terrorists must not receive advertising in the media. The main goal to which they aspire, is broad coverage of their attacks in the media, and therefore, the intimidation of the population. And they always achieve that goal.

It is clear that the terrorist attack at the airport or the underground to hide or to explain anthropogenic causes is difficult. But the Newspapers and TV channels are quite capable even without savoring the Gory details. I am sure that Europe will soon come to this, spit on freedom of expression, — life is more expensive.
