Weapons go missing from military forces all the time.

Hell not that long ago in Moldova the FBI and Moldovan police arrested a small ring of people trying to sell weapons grade uranium (or plutonium, can't remember). Of course that material dates to the early 90's Russian Federation, but eh military hardware is worth a lot of money.

what? who told you that? Syria, from what I know, is a majority Sunni country. There's no discontent and mistreatment of them. It's a radical group that's armed by Israel and Murika that's behind the chaos


And Syria, prior to the civil war, was ruled by the Assad family which is Alawite-Shiite. In other words, minority ruled over the majority and very cruelly.

Actually, weed would be quite a bit harder to smuggle than grenades.

(Although both are smuggled often enough)

Barack Obama: Killers' 'hateful vision'
Posted at 23:14
AP

Here's what US President Barack Obama said in the last hour on the attacks in Paris:

"Paris itself represents the timeless values of human progress. Those who think they can theorise the people of France or the values they stand for are wrong. It endures beyond terrorism and beyond those who are committed to these whose hateful vision were perpetrated this evening. We will do whatever we can to work with the French people to bring these terrorists to justice. We have been working with French people to offer our prayers to those wounded."

not very important, just thought I'd put it up
For: Capitalism, Third Way Politics, Authoritarianism, Globalization, Individualism, Freedom of speech, Secular Government, Egalitarianism, Meritocracy, Social Housing, Civic Nationalism, Keynesian Capitalism, Bees, Social Democracy
Meh: Stalinism, Maoism, Russia, NATO, Iran, Fascism
Against: Communism, Welfare Chauvinism,Diversity quotas, Anarchy, Uninformed Electorate, Hereditary positions, Trump
Is it bees?! IS IT BEES?!!!


If we're right, people lose homes. People lose jobs. People lose retirement savings, people lose pensions. You know what I hate about f*cking banking? It reduces people to numbers. Here's a number - every 1% unemployment goes up, 40,000 people die, did you know that? - The Big Short

Sometimes sacrifices have to be done. What would you do, just let the police handle it? Any sensible government would deploy the National Guard or some form of military due to the sheer size of the violence

They'll deploy as little as they can. I can honestly say that this is the most self-centered, politicking government I have ever witnessed or studied, and that includes the Sarkozy-Fillon duo. Incredible, truly.

That is defeatist. These guys are getting grenades. Those are hard to get. Where do they get them?


On last July 7, an arsenal of the French military in Miramas (Provence) was breached and weapons were stolen. It was at least 180 detonators, 40 hand grenades, 10 packets of high-explosive.

I guess we have an idea about where they did get them.

In solidarity with Ukraine, I will be censoring the letters Z and V from my signature.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.
