Global terrorism thread

Somebody linked me the best response to the Charlie Hebdo massacre I've seen. It's from the satirical Scotch whisky blog Whiskysponge: "Now the whisky drinkers", say Islamic extremists.

The whole piece is pretty good. A quick read, and it made me laugh. Especially the bit about Speyburn.

Abe is convinced that ISIS killed a Japanese hostage.

They probably have

ISIS is keeping Goto alive for a prisoner exchange.

If the Japanese have any sort of brains they won't capitulate.

Bukake Harem is getting out of control in Nigeria, US state officials are going to meet the President Badluck possibly to negotiate assistance on combating those terrorists, probably on the form of military advisors and trainers.

Given that BH seems now to be in possession of heavy weaponry and military vehicles I wouldn't discard some drone strike action either.

I'm a bit sick and tired of seeing that asshole in the mask standing over the Japanese hostages every time I want to read the news on the interwebs. Clearly the press and he have a mutually beneficial relationship in attracting eyeballs and increasing attention. My preferred solution would be if someone could turn him into a bloody crater, but in lieu of that I wonder if there's some form of ad blocker for stopping cowardly masked terrorists from getting their pictorial oxygen of publicity?

If this article is anything to go by, an extensive anti-corruption drive accompanied by modernisation and professionalisation of the military (or for that matter just giving them some damn ammo) would go down well too.

That's a long term solution, Nigeria probably needs an AU task force to have any hope in the short term.

Lots of protests that the LDP may have contributed to anti-Japanese sentiment abroad.

Already happening, we're performing ISR and strike support with preds from a base in west africa that shall remain unnamed. Originally stood up those resources to assist in the conflict in Mali.

Well, it probably is haram.

Umm... it's not the second part of the name that Marq is questioning.

I bet they indulge in it too, the cads.

Hey, if it works for you sexually...

Still, Bukkake Haram () (incidentally, is Bukkake haram?)

It involves more than one man on one woman, so yeah.

The genderflipped version where a man is covered in... is legal, but you can have a maximum of only four female participants.

Yukawa's father is overwhelmed by his son's death.

Actually, I believe that too is illegal, because it entails some degree of homosexual interaction on part of the women in question. That is, of course, assuming that it's even possible; "squirters" are rare among women, last time I checked. Good luck getting married to four of them by pure chance.

Yukawa is the suicidal guy, right?

Let's just leave that Nunnery stuff here and try to get back to normality, OK?

http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2015/01/kurdish-fighters-retake-90-percent-kobane-150126094951512.html

Or whatever is left of those 90%

"Sources told the monitoring group that ISIL had sent a brigade of 140 members to try to repel the attack - the majority of them under the age of 18 and newly-recruited."

Oh that will do so well, send unexperienced fighters to fight the battle hardened YPG with American support.

ISIL's over insistence on taking Kobane was definitely their ruin, they sunk so many manpower and materiel trying to take it the only thing they achieved was being a target training for French and US pilots and rallying the Kurds and everyone else against them.

Sunk Cost Fallacy still applies for warfare, and ISIL did it for propaganda purposes and are paying heavily for it. Months ago we all had news of the land gains and ISIL victories, now they are losing ground and fast.

Eh, don't hammer nails onto their coffin just yet. Terrorist groups have lots of endurance (cf. Alqaeda, HAMAS, etc).

Oh hey BH being major douchebags sending underaged peeps to die. How noble of them.

Seriously, how long until everyone gets fed up with these guys and just takes over them by force or something? With all this stuff they are pulling...

*ISIL
And to answer your question, very long indeed. Nobody cares when their interests aren't threatened.

Hopefully, Daesh sending what sounds like a brigade of mostly Child Soldiers means that's more-or-less all the spare soldiers they have left to fight with. And it does of course add a snowflake dusting war crime to their existing atrocity iceberg.

If he is sending the young this means this is either a token resistance act or he is really getting short on manpower.

All at least when it comes to experienced fighters to send on a meat grinder. I don't know if the ISIL is going to focus on other regions in Iraq or other Syrian fronts.
