'War' in Syria?
"The point, of course, is that the West had grown so used to attacking Arab lands - France had become so inured to sending its soldiers and air crews to Africa and the Middle East to shoot and bomb those whom it regarded as its enemies - that only when Muslims began attacking Western capital cities did we suddenly announce that we were "at war"."

Did Soldiers Really Die for my Freedom?
Last week was Remembrance Day, and aside from the self-righteous pomp and circumstance that usually accompanies the event, I was also subjected to hearing about why I should care about the "sacrifice" of others. Apparently soldiers died for my freedom.

NHL All-Star Game
So the NHL has announced a 3-on-3 format for the All-Star Game this season. I believe this format devalues defensemen in that, in a 3-on-3 match, both sides will field a center and 2 wingers to increase scoring chances at the cost of solid defensive play. The NHL has a long history of great defensemen, so I don't believe it is fair to devalue them by devaluing their usefulness in the All-Sta Game (ergo, less All-Star appearances for defensemen versus scorers).
Thoughts?

turkey needed for gunboat
Well apparently some players in a game entitled to encourage a lack of CDs want to play on with a banned player, so we need a replacement turkey. The position is more decent if you consider the necessary allegiances in place given the position. It'd be a fun challenge to make something of this and far from impossible.

ISIS is getting nervous my friend. The Iraqi army should start a battle for Ramadi, the Kurds for Sinjar, and the Syrian army has been gaining ground in Aleppo. The attacks in Lebanon, France, AND the Russian plane are all because of this.
wjessop (100 DX)
13 Nov 15 UTC
I'm not convinced the Russian plane was ISIS.

I think there's every possibility that it was a government agency action -- building public support for ground troops.

ISIS is getting nervous? For the past god knows how many months a massive stream of people with no known histories have been making their way from ISIS strongholds into Europe. It's Europe who should be nervous. I doubt there's a major European city that doesn't host an ISIS or similar terror cell. The only mystery is why they've not launched an attack until now.
Hannibal76 (100 D(B))

Are you saying the Russians blew up their own plane?
shield (3929 D)

Definitely a bit shocking to see something like this right by an international football match. Even if it's not as big as something in Beruit/elsewhere it's unexpected.
Hannibal76 (100 D(B))
13 Nov 15 UTC
@Octavious yeah man they are getting nervous. I'm not saying the end of ISIS is near or anything, but they have lost and are continuing to lose ground in Syria. AND in Iraq two large battles will begin almost simultaneously. Yes you're right Europe should be nervous, but ISIS is no longer expanding. Now they have begun to retreat on all fronts, slowly but surely.

"I think there's every possibility that it was a government agency action -- building public support for ground troops."

Which government? Whose troops? Do you think Vladimir Putin worries about stuff like that? David Cameron can't win a Commons vote on air strikes, do you think stopping holidays in Sharm El Shaik will swing it for him?

bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
14 Nov 15 UTC
Terrorism threatens everyone, not just us. It threatens the Middle East and non-Western civilization far more, actually. The governments that endorse it are as much a problem as the terror organizations themselves.
OK, but the terrorists are still after us.
*sorry, I suppose I shouldn't refer to the West as "us" as if there are only Americans and Europeans on this site.
wjessop (100 DX)

I don't even like or agree with the terms "West" and "East". Old colonial terms that aren't relevant any more.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
14 Nov 15 UTC
The terrorists are after everyone who isn't them. It's not fair to exclude the refugees that they force out of their homes and those in their native lands who are being terrorized too.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
14 Nov 15 UTC
I am all for PC, wjessop, but please find me a set of terms that actually work. East v. West, first-world v. third-world, global north v. global south all have their issues.
wjessop (100 DX)
14 Nov 15 UTC
If you mean Europe and North America that's much more precise and controversy-free than "the West".

It's not a difficult one, bo_sox48.

Referencing geographical regions by their geographical names rather than figurative descriptions that refer to historical hierarchies is not hard.
