One of my friends a Danish politicians and who is far from being political correct wrote this on his wall

(have used google translate)

"Rush in to help with the politically correct guide to how a politician should respond to the terrorist attacks. Read it BEFORE you make any comment!: the first couples of days your statements should be completely devoid of content. Simply say that you are sorry, are strongly opposed, and that we stand together against terror. With stories about European democratic values. Everyone knows that the kind of words make a big impression on the terrorists. Avoid at all costs to say anything concrete. Finally, nothing about what should be done to prevent more terrorist attacks. In the politically correct parlance, this 'toss of a tragedy'. Only empty talk. Remember it now! You absolutely must not imply that it is Muslims who have carried out terror. You must keep open the possibility that it could be extremist auditors, the local handball club or perhaps Buddhists behind. Do not face reality. It is so terribly politically incorrect.

When it within a relatively short time, is clear that it was Islamics, its important that you say- it 'has nothing to do with Islam'. You know that it would never have happened if it were not for Islam. But it is important that you do not admit it. It is quite crucial that you also never mentions mass immigration as much as contributory factor in that there are terrorists in Europe.if terrorists proves to be born in Europe as a second- or third-generation (which is what they often are), then make it clear that it is not caused by immigration, that they are here. "Ibn Mussa al Muhammad was the Belgian. He was not an immigrant." Ignore the fact that if we for some decades had closed too many in, which has created an ethnically divided society, we had not at all been the kind of extremists in Europe. Justify rather the problem of socio-economic factors. Perhaps the terrorists had a bad school? Find yourself on something that can detract from the fact that the multicultural society has created a growing group of people living here with a fierce hatred of the West. Cast including state that "terrorists win if we start changing our society '. In other words, we should just ignore the problem.

If you for example, suggests that it is impossible to avoid ghettos and radicalized parallel society with the pace of immigration set in, so you go terrorists errand. Or something ... (For all know that Islamics overall objective that Europe should pursue a tighter immigration policy). Not to seem like you are completely unrealistic, remember, however, that a winning social media is to use very harsh words against the extremists. "Go to hell" or "They should go home" is acceptable and popular expressions. But remember, for God's sake, it must NOT be followed by action. It is important only to leave it at words. It provides guaranteed at least one thousand shares on Face book. That's what people want to hear. Never mind whether you do something about it. If at any time you are under pressure from the politically incorrect to suggest something concrete, then suggest any. to give the police more resources or make better language courses for immigrants. Perhaps a bridging courses. But it is definitely also the longest, you can GA.If you follow this guide, you are on the right track to become a real politician. Lots of empty talk and no action. "

It is a guide to those political politicians who is quite novice in this subject.

My condolences.

Before we run around like beheaded chicken, attack each other, or fuel radical views, we should remember two things.

1. Terrorist cause the terror.
2. Fugitives try to flee from it.

Today I spoke with a young turkish man who flies to and from Turkey three times a week, from Brussels. He overslept this morning so did not go to Brussels, but he had not told his parents and they were desparate. They wept when they finally heard his voice.
He said literally "why can't they live in peace, these unbelievable ...holes!" Yes, he was a muslim, too. He also said that there are certain "Maennercafés" (= cafés for turkish men), and he began to have fear, because he was not able to judge who had which political views anymore, and stopped going there. He said muslim people with his views were regarded as traitors, by some.
It was in Berlin.

The police should really start observing those circles, this young turkish man was sure for it.

Belgian authorities have released the photo of a suspect they are hunting for:

The two men to the left are believed to have blown themselves up.

We do deserve so.

1. We still rely on nuclear power, despite what history taught us.
2. If we don't even protect these installations while Europe is flooded by terrorists, so be it.

Make it go boom and let's see what all the Gutmenschen have to say then.

Well, I can think of a few things. They'll come out of hiding and probably say it was your fault the perpetrators signed up for ISIS because you weren't being tolerant enough. Then I suppose they'll try to convince you it could have been worse by comparing it to the disaster at Fukushima, they had a tsunami you know.

He is right about our politicians who do nothing then just talk and more talk no action. In other words saying the things his voters want to hear.

I do also disagree with him at some point-It is not every immigrants or Refugees that have a hidden agenda packed in their suitcase. Some of them is happy to have reached a safe haven.

I think the terrorists would need to have Neals truck packed with the highest form of explosives you can find in order to cause the sort of damage that Nippelspanner described. Even then, tbh, I'd be surprised if they did. I mean, the reactor vessel itself is a reinforced metal structure inside a reinforced concrete building. If they do happen to cut the coolant lines to the reactor by some quirk of fate then the reactor would SCRAM. There might be a little bit of damage to stuff that's housing radioactive materials but the radioactivity released to the surrounding environment would be negligible.

The three biggest NPP disasters have been a combination of bad design and human error. It's more likely that a Flemish NPP would have an accident through one of those than through a bomb.

But, a bomb in a nuclear power station would create mass panic in the surrounding area and countries, the media would melt down even if the reactor didn't, so there's that. It would also likely screw with the power supplies in the region for a while too since the most damage would probably be to things like the turbines or switching up transformers.

It is not even the first attack in Belgium alone. In May 2014, two Algerians with French passports returned from Syria and opened fire in a Jewish museum in Brussels, leaving four dead.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._attacks#2010s

A list limited to terror strikes in European states alone:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terror...European_Union

And that list does not include those plots that were spoiled in time. If these would not have been spoiled, there would have been several major events in Germany already as well.

I should imagine/hope that the authorities have the equipment to make the pictures more clear/recognisable.

Its misled emotions speaking here.

I doubt they were about blowing up those reactors, btw. Its more about stealing radioactive material. Either to build a bomb (big oho!-effect), poisoning people (drinking water, breathing air - medium oho!-effect) or to sell it and generate rich income on the blak market which then to invest in terror tools again (small oho!-effect).


BTW, some German media now have it at 36 dead and a minimum of 230 wounded. "Wounded" means ripped-off limbs in some cases, lost eye-sight, and so forth.

Entirely possible, not the easiest of tasks to undertake though. Probably a lot easier to get that sort of thing from old hospital equipment.
Still, any kind of bomb at an NPP would cause mass panic which is one of the main end goals of any terrorist attack.
