Journalists are the scoundrels of the newspapers? Not the editors? Not the publishers?
Perhaps that was because of how much of Eça de Queirós' employment was as a journalist…

Ok, that's the problem that gets special importance these days of barbarism. Newspapers and television are of ultimate importance in terms of public awareness to resist, counter-attack and beat terrorism mercilessly.

I don't like what I read, I don't like what I watch on tv and the media in general are not contributing for awakening the populations but to turn horror into a reality show. To turn horror into empty slogans that leads to no action.

All of them, journalists, editors, publishers and, last but not the least, the financial owners are guilty.
The sadly truth is that no one knows how to fight a post modernist war.
A matter of attitude.

Of course -you, being a socialist or fascist, ...

No much difference between a socialist and a fascist. Isn't it? At least not if someone perceives the old continent through his neoconized diopter.
BTW, wonder how much you know about yourope. :)

A post modernist war you say?
The war for world domination and resources under the 'new world order', disguised as the neverending war against self-created monsters?

Yes, a post modernist war.
It could be the same old story "disguised" in anything else but the truth being is that people die. You, me or children at some Libyan school it doesn't matters.

It's exactly such "fluidity" at the war front that gives it's post modernist attribute.
No sides in terrain, just people being killed. A one man killing as much as an entire battalion. Imagine an huge city saw by the skies at night and a flash of light here and one hundred dies a flash of light there and another one hundred more dies. Police armed as sci-fi patrolling and arresting survivals, terror being the rule. All over the world.

This is the way for human slavery, not a war for oil production control. Oil is not needed anymore, all the required technology for substituting it exists for years ago. This is a war for the dark ages that will come.

You are right Krake about that this is not what it seems. It's much worst than you imagine.
Are the slave masters still human? that's the freaking question.
A matter of attitude.

I would say there is an outstanding difference between a socialist and fascist.

What -I wonder- does the OP think?
Are any of the "great powers" going to destroy this incipient Caliphate?

You created it. How many more Americans will be beheaded?
Unfortunately the little monster created by the Americans is not so stupid as their creator and has already discovered that Americans don't count for much.

So they started attacking those who counts.
They'll get the adequate response that Americans were never abble to give hem. They already get it, in just a couple of days, and will get much more.

Disappear from international scene dear Americans, your time has finished. I doubt that you even have entered History and, imagine it, you are already gone. Such is life for arrivists.

P.S You'll forgive me my liberal usage of "Americans" when I want to mean your Governments not the American People. If not too smart the American people are anyway serious and honest people in their majority and have contributed for recent History in many ways.
A matter of attitude.

Yep, America has a recent history of helping dangerous fundamentalist fiends not just in the Middle East but remember folks what they did in Afghanistan before the USSR disappeared?Because the Afghan terror people were fighting the then USSR military the US spent millions! You couldn't make such things up! And what about that great pal Saudia Arabia, a country of dictatorship, mass executions and shipping arms to the terrorists in Syria?

The bombing is of course very important as part of the onslaught but there needs to be more feet on the ground. Strikes me that the Kurds are doing a magnificent job but need more help and what passes for the "trained" Iraqi Army needs a push. So too do other countries in the ME if the evil git ISIL is to be destroyed.

Instead of harping on about Assad the mouth in the White House should be concentrating on a more definitive coalition including Russia which has done great in the air attacks and been constantly increasing the number of planes. If America, Russia and allies could avoid yak like the stuff about Libya and Iraq (both messed up thing) it would be constructive.

Assad is part of the solution, not of the problem. As Hussein and Kadafi were.

It is strange why nobody questions such insistence by the American government in creating such a mess. In the bottom line they are shooting their own feet, while destroying everything else.
Is it that what they call collateral damages?

I believe one must look for the answers at a radical different kind of explanations.

For some strange reason which I still can't figure out, we elected Obama twice. He shows unshakable resolve in knocking down current regimes, which has the tendency to leave the country which has lost its leader in an unstable condition. In this case, Putin is probably right in supporting Assad, and Obama is very likely wrong in trying to get Assad deposed. If Assad is tossed out, Syria will become a bigger hellhole of terrorist outfits than it already is.

The Russians have always supported the most vicious of their "allies"… And, usually, they've lost their wars, albeit winning a few battles.
They're not great thinkers.

I wouldn't generalize.
At some point you are right. Both Russian (Soviets) and Chinese politics were driven by ideology in the past.
Pragmatism has replaced ideology lately and I'm not sure that these are good news for you.

Maybe someone should let Oakdale know that the USSR is gone. And how silly was his last message here. Even more son Belfrager in evil associations. Your country supported all the evil military dictatorships ih the history of South America, terrorists in Afghanistan, are hugging Saudi Arabia a vile and evil dictatorship that does inhuman things.  So sort your own house out first before condemning anyone else. Oh, and let us not forget although you had troops in Russia (along with Britian, Canada, and others - we lost more than you) at the time of the Civil War between the Communist around 1920  and the Whites you were secretly dealing with that also evil and murderous Bolshie scum in secret

t is not ordinary Americans who have a dose of evil it is the political system and who it sooks in with.

Consider what happens, if the U.S. does not put paid to this incipient Caliphate…

What I would prefer -since they have declared war on us- is that the U.S. Congress do the right and sensible thing: Declare war on them.
In that circumstance, the quisling Obama administration would only delay our response.

I suppose there IS a difference. Saudi Arabia may be run by evil fiends, but they're our evil fiends. ISIS/ISIL are not.

Nothing happens in the "Caliphate" that is not what the New Order wants to be.

It means the Nazis that dominates the USA and Europe against the New Nazis that dominates China and the "I wanna be a Nazi Putin". All the rest, being second class wanna be Nazis don't counts, second league at the Nazi Worldwide Championship.
