Iraq gave 48 hours for Turkish troops to leave it's soil.

I sense Balkans of 1914.

My Russian is not so good, in fact I can't any Russian except Njet, Da and Spasiba.

Going to reply on what you wrote

It's not the first time Iraq ask Turkey to leave Iraqi soil.

Ya. General topics has a vast history of that with no punitive actions.
Itchy trigger fingers going on?

We try to be as consistent as possible, but none of us are perfect. None of the moderators wishes to take a heavy hand, I really think they are pretty lenient with the gif-trolling and sharp elbows that come along with open discussion.

Only you can prevent gif trolling.

Anyway...we'd probably better get back on topic...somehow...

Errr...how about the news that the Cali shooters had target practice?

(come on, help me out here)

Hmmm might be hard to get restarted with that one. Target practice is not against the law.

Lots of people take target practice. It's about as big of a red flag as what toothpaste they used. I can also go down to Home Depot and buy pipe so I don't see how either of those things help in rooting out terrorists in wait. I don't like feeling helpless but I'm not willing to give up free will to feel safer.

Well, that's true, and unfortunately it's one of those situations where really you haven't got much wiggle room in what you can do, perhaps these two should have been flagged on a list, but again, it's a very hard thing to do, especially if the target is radicalised offline and thus doesn't even come up on the FBIs radar until its too late.
Same goes for the type of yahoos who shoot up Planned Parenthood clinics because they think that baby harvesting goes on there, you know that they're out there and that they will be driven to do these things, but you just can't tell where or when. In the UK the problem is with knives, the incident at Leytonstone the other day shows that if one guy wants to get a knife and slash someone in the throat while shouting "This is for Syria" there's not a great deal that can be done to prevent him, the swift arrival of the police, as well as other people around the attempted terrorist meant that no-one died, but there were injuries. This is, I guess, an advantage of the knife over the gun in regards to casualty count. If the same guy had opened up with an assault rifle, you'd be looking at a similar death count to California, if not higher. Equally though, if other people in the tube had also had a gun then perhaps they'd have shot him first, who can say, it's the same old ground we've covered plenty of times before only this time there was a radical Islamist behind the trigger so there's that focus to work on that is lacking when it's anyone else.
On that note, has anyone actually worked out the motive for the guy who shot up the Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado? He seems to be keeping quiet about it, but that's not stopped a lot of speculation, I wonder if he'll actually give his motivation or whether he'll let the media do it for him. Either which way, his choice of target was telling.

I thought you had another terrorist stabbing in Oxfordshire at that Poundland store Oberon, turns out it wasn't, just some nutjob stabbing someone to death. Such a shame that has to happen.

Aye, God alone knows what provoked him to do that in Poundland of all places. At least the police were able to quickly taser him and restrain him.

Precisely the opposite of how we do it here! https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/prince-georges-police-taser-a-handcuffed-man-after-traffic-stop/2015/10/18/bb2b3808-75a9-11e5-bc80-9091021aeb69_story.html http://www.cleveland.com/nation/index.ssf/2009/07/man_stunned_with_taser_while_h.html
