Reported that the Turks have shot down a Russian jet
Òhhhhhhhh.
This could be the start of it.
Whats the set up there. Turkey are in with the states ya?
Yep. In NATO. Somebody will have to blink and it will be Putin. US military is so far advanced now he has no choice. May be some token sabre rattling.
Hilarious these children are still at this posturing.
Have you any opinion on suggestions the US are nack ISIS.
That would be fantastic.
On the subject of Turkey, crazy shit there today with over 80 killed in a bomb attack on a peace march.
The Kurds are blaming the Turkish govt or Turkish nationalist paramilitary organisations (that are believed to operate with collusion from the Turkish state) for the bombings.
Shit gonna get kinda complicated over there, if the Kurds ramp up their war with the Turks and Kurds also involved in conflicts Syria and Iraq.
Will be a bit of a head scratcher as to who will be supporting who over there now.
Putin will not back down. He has the backing of not just Iran but the Chinese. The Chinese economy is sinking rapidly and there is nothing their govt would like better than a war to distract attention from their bumbling. This could easily escalate into a war between NATO and Russia/Iran/China, a war the US can’t enter directly as it would lead to mutual destruction. Russian military believes they could win a localized nuclear war in The Middle East or Europe for that matter. They are probably right.

Did you see it. You can see it behind main group. Actually didn’t seem like much, astonishing shocking and sad the damage it did
What did you expect, a mushroom cloud? Bombs kill and maim by the enormous percussive energy they transmit. It’s not something you can see, the flash and bang is just a side effect.

In a non nuclear war which this would be there is only one winner. US military tech is miles ahead. The Russians know that. Neither side will want to get dragged into a war though. I expect a show of strength from US in next week or so to demonstrate what they have.
If you are expecting a show of strength from Obama you will have a long wait. US can’t get involved, now that Russia is in they are planning their move out. Obama has already cut funding. This will play out slowly but the trigger will be Turkey being attacked. Today’s incident involving the Russian jet was probably a false flag. China needs cheap energy supply and moving into the ME or having Russia do it for them makes perfect sense.
Fuck off you gobshite.
You are an embarrassment to Cork people that feign intelligence

Have the French surrendered yet?
Shit is already fucked over there. Kurds have proper representation over there for the first time having got over 10% of vote (thus beating a rule created to shaft them.) Country is going to the polls again in November and erdogan is stirring as much shit as possible in an effort to radicalise the kurdish supporters. This he hopes will result in losing them the support of the moderate turks who voted them in in the first place in order to put a stop to erdogan gallop.
In the meantime, the secularist of the country is disintegrating. It’s unbelievable.

Hamas praised the attacks, saying they are “a message to anyone who harms our holy places. We call to continue the intifada, which is the natural response to the world’s silence.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will convene his Security Cabinet at midday to decide on further steps to take in light of the ongoing terror attacks.

In Kiryat Ata, a northern city near Haifa, a terrorist stabbed at least one person outside IKEA. The attacker has been subdued, while the victim’s was moderately wounded. Both stabber and victim are Jewish, but it remains unclear whether the stabbing was a nationalistic incident or a criminal one. Police were investigating the suspicion that the attacker wanted to stab an Arab, but mistakened the nationality of his victim.

Two terrorists boarded an Egged bus on Olei HaGardom Street in East Talpiot, a neighborhood also known as Armon HaNetziv, armed with a gun and the other with a knife.
They started shooting and stabbing passengers while the bus kept moving, killing a man in his 60s and wounding four others. One of the wounded was later declared dead at the hospital.
A security guard at the scene was able to overpower one of them and shoot him. The terrorist then tried to get up and resume his attack, but the security guard shot him again.
The second terrorist locked the bus’ doors in an attempt to stop security forces from boarding, as well as stopping passengers from fleeing. Policemen opened fire at him from outside the bus.
One of the terrorists was killed, while the other was wounded and neutralized.

Eye-witnesses said one of the terrorists took over the driver’s seat in an attempt to kidnap the bus. Golan Cohen-Gabai, one of the eye-witnesses, said he used his car to block off the bus and stop the terrorist from taking it.
“Then he opened the doors and wanted to come at me with a knife. I closed the windows, so he ran back and returned with a gun… I held him here for two minutes and then police forces arrived,” he said.
An MDA paramedic who arrived at the scene of the attack described it as chaotic, saying gunfire was heard as rescue teams arrived.

On Malkhei Yisrael Street in Geula, a terrorist drove a car into a bus stop, hitting two pedestrians - one of which, 60-year-old Rabbi Yeshayahu Krishevsky, was killed and the other seriously wounded. The terrorist then left the vehicle and started repeatedly stabbing the two victims. A security guard who was nearby arrived at the scene of the attack and shot the terrorist, critically wounding him.
The terrorist, identified as Alaa Abu Jamal, a resident of East Jerusalem with Israeli citizenship, was an employee of Israeli phone company Bezeq, and was using a company car to commit the attack.
A statement issued by Bezeq said: "We just learned that a Bezeq employee was responsible for the terror attack in Jerusalem this morning on Malkhei Yisrael Street. At this point we do not have all of the details, but it is clear this is a serious incident.
“Bezeq, and all of its employees, scorns this heinous crime. Our hearts are with the victims and their families.”

Hadassah Ein Karem received five wounded - two of them were the terrorists. One of the terrorists was declared dead, while the other was in serious condition. The other three wounded were the Jewish victims - one was critically wounded, one seriously wounded, and one light-to-moderately wounded.
Two attacks in main Ra’anana street
Four people were wounded in a stabbing attack at a bus stop outside the Beit Loewenstein Rehabilitation Center on Jerusalem Street in Ra’anana.
After stabbing his victims, the terrorist, an East Jerusalem resident in his late 20s, fled towards Ahuza Street, a major thoroughfare in the Sharon plains city, pursued by civilians. A driver passing by noticed the chase and hit the terrorist with his car. A taxi driver who was at the scene helped subdue the terrorist.
Large police forces who arrived at the scene arrested the terrorist, who was employed at the nearby Beit Loewenstein. He was taken to hospital in serious condition.
“We saw the terrorist stabbing a helpless older man who was standing at the bus stop. We immediately knew it was a terror attack,” recounted two people working in one of the businesses in the commercial center, where the attack occurred.
“We immediately started calling out ‘Terrorist! Terrorist!’ He dropped his knife and started running towards the nearby Ahuza Street. We chased him and then he drew another knife, a smaller one, and kept trying to stab us,” they continued.
“We called out to drivers to help us and then they hindered his escape, and we managed to catch him on Ahuza Street along with other people. He received quite a beating. Only after he was neutralized, he let go of the knife, and then the police came and arrested him,” they said.
Other eye witnesses said the terrorist was wearing an orange vest.
At least one person was seriously wounded, suffering stab wounds to his upper body, including his neck, while the others were lightly-to-moderately hurt. The wounded were taken to the Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba and the Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikvah.
Earlier, one Israeli was lightly wounded in a stabbing attack in Ra’anana while waiting for the bus not far from the city hall on Ahuza Street.
A terrorist, resident of East Jerusalem, attempted to stab him. He fought off the terrorist and was hurt in the struggle. Other civilians came to his aid and helped him overpower the terrorist, who was lightly wounded.
Maden David Adom paramedics evacuated the wounded Israeli, 32, to the Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba with stab wounds to his upper body.

Ra’anana mayor Ze’ev Bielski, who spoke to the victim, said the man told him he suspected the stabber.
“He said, ‘I saw there was something about him’ - and that is why the stab wounds were likely not where the stabber wanted and the victim fought him and managed to come out in reasonable condition,” Bielski told Ynet.

Following the attacks, Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely slammed Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, holding him responsible for the attack.
“Mahmoud Abbas’ spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh has praised and glorified a 13-year-old Palestinian who set out with a butcher knife to murder Israeli children in a candy shop,” she said.
“The blood of Israeli citizens is on the hands of Mahmoud Abbas and his colleagues who are inciting children to commit murder. The Palestinian Authority, instead of preventing violence, has become an incubator for fanatic terrorism which is striking daily at Israeli citizens.”
Hotovely called on Israel’s government to consider halting money transfers to the Palestinian Authority.
“The Foreign Ministry urges donor countries to use their influence to effect a cessation in violence and incitement by the Palestinian Authority,” she added.
Overnight Monday, IDF and Judea and Samaria police forces arrested 15 wanted Palestinians in the West Bank, who are suspected of involvement in terror activity and violent rioting against civilians and security forces.
The arrested Palestinians, some of which are suspected of stone-throwing, were taken into questioning.
Tuesday’s attacks are the latest incident in a monthlong wave of attacks, the worst spell of street violence for years, stirred in part by Muslim anger over increasing Jewish visits to the al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem.
Since the Rosh HaShana last month, five Israelis have been killed and dozens wounded in a shooting, a stoning and a series of stabbings.
At least 26 Palestinians been killed by Israeli fire, including 10 attackers and the rest in clashes between stone-throwers and Israeli troops. Hundreds of Palestinians have been wounded in such confrontations.
On Monday, Palestinians carried out three stabbings in Jerusalem, leaving a teenage Israeli boy in critical condition.
The daily knife attacks have stoked concern of a new Palestinian uprising and though Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have appealed for calm, the violence shows no signs of abating.
Palestinian groups have declared a “Day of Rage” on Tuesday across the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem. The leaders of Israel’s Arab community have called for a commercial strike in their towns and villages.
