Throughout Europe the Intelligence service has said Daesh could be preparing huge simultaneous attack around Europe

If true, I fear they will use Chemical stuff in some of these attacks

Entirely possible, but hard to say, we were all certain that an NBC attack would happen 'soon' after 9/11, but it's been 15 years and we've fortunately been spared one, with the exception of the brief anthrax scare.
That won't last forever, they only have to get lucky once while we have to get lucky all the time, such is the cost of the war that we're in.

Would love to see the military catch these scum using these weapons out in the open somewhere, and napalm the hell out of them!

Send troops in and attack the cities they hold, forcing them into a deserted city/area then use a tactical nuke to end it all.

Oh, if life was so simple.

I agree Jim!

Could you imagine what its going to be like to clear out Mosul in the future. Think of all the IED's they have planted in there already, the tunnel systems they have dug too! The soldiers that have to go in there and clear them out are going to feel like they have stepped in to hell on earth.

Make the prisoners go in and clear the place.

Reports are coming in that indicate that Putin has ordered the withdrawal of the major part of the Russian forces in Syria, stating that they have achieved their objective.

Trying to extract before Russia gets too mired in it, whilst the cease-fire is sort of holding, perhaps?

tomfon · 03-14-16, 01:01 PM

Maybe he run out of money. And of course the "make a mess and leave" policy?

Jimbuna · 03-14-16, 01:02 PM

My guess would be that a deal has been done with an end date for sanctions against Russia....but what of the Ukraine?

Yeah, it was the Ukraine that prompted the sanctions in the first place, so I can't see them being dropped just yet.

Then it may be the case that Putin believes he has adequately demonstrated to the world what power he can unleash at short notice and is withdrawing some of said power on the understanding it can be unleashed again should anyone threaten Assad in the future.

I find it hard to believe that all parties concerned will ever reach a uified consensus of agreement in the region.

That would make sense, it did happen not long after it looked like we might start attacking Assad.

Yes.
Putin orders to begin withdrawal of Russian forces from Syria starting March 15

Russia can't afford more war action as its economy it weaker than that of e.g. France or the UK right now?

Up to the western coalition as to what is their next move I suspect.

Don't know if this is terrorism related or not, but a Serbian airliner that was scheduled to fly to Oregon, was found to have a surprise package on it. The package was found to be carrying 2 Hellfire missiles with their warheads attached!!

Seems they originally came from Lebanon?

Maybe Putin took home his military from Syria, because he have other plans for the future and he don't want his military engage on two or three front.

Got this feeling that Putin is planning something.
