Although this thread does not function under the same strict guidelines as the USPMT, it is still a general practice on TL to provide a source with an explanation on why it is relevant and what purpose it adds to the discussion. Failure to do so will result in a mod action.

I don't mean to be rude but it never ceases to amaze me just how ignorant this board is of what is actually happening. How can you possibly think the EU has handled the migrant crisis well? How exactly do you see the EU halting the rise of the far right/left? Do you think Macron will be elected, perform magnificently and save the establishment? The truth is that he can't, because the factors fuelling Le Pen's rise are written into the EU Treaties. It's the monetary union and the abolition of real borders, the empowerment of foreign courts and unelected failed politicians, the unending mission creep. It takes a lot to persuade an entire population to vote for such a significant risk, so maybe the EU will be lucky and won't lose any more 'core' members for a while. But the problems are still there, and radicalism and violence are going to keep rising until they are addressed.

Oh wow. One of the things I would say can't be true but it is...

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/german-soldier-syria-refugee-false-flag-terror-attack-posing-arrested-frankfurt-france-bavaria-a7705231.html

Will it be further investigated for possible state involvement? Any German can update?

Considering lastpuritans recent posts I'm going to go with no, he means Germany.

It would be hella funny if it was Turkey tho :p

Because I like the idea of neonazi resurrection just for funsies. Jokes aside, I didn't say German government planned it, only asked for investigation? Why are you becoming sensitive this quick.

Turkey already played her part when they planned falseflag operation to Ottoman tomb in Syria by the way.

Well normally when someone plans something insane/stupid most don't start questioning if 'a' government was involved.

But yes I fully assume an investigation into possible additional accomplices will be done as is normal when someone is arrested for an attempted terrorist attack. And when those lead to 'a' government being involved those will be followed through on aswell.
Unless ofcourse it was the German government in which case it will be quickly buried and some dummy will be thrown under the bus.

Well it is hard to understand the motive from an individual's perspective. Kill a bunch of people to make refugees look bad... to what end? That has happened already, time and time again in fact, and nothing has changed.

we've just had a guy who wanted to blow up the BvB team-bus, blame refugees just to short BvB stock options. Might I suggest that not all of these people are thinking clearly

Unless that someone is a state official, more importantly a soldier... Of course we hope for the best and expect him to be a lone wolf, however, this alone raises another big concern, how many lone wolves are possibly inside the German Army, who may plan to attack the very nation they pledged to protect, for some "greater good" in their minds?

I don't know how you folks rolling in the EU, but here in the US we have soldiers doing stupid shit all the time and there is never some vast government plot behind it. Doing stupid shit for stupid reasons is the unifying trait all cultures share.

people do dumb things all the time, at least in the US. recently there was a guy who's entire plan was basically blow up target and then buy target stock to make himself money.

Just another form of financial terrorism. It is quite common at a level just below actually bombing shit.
When you came along so righteous with a new national hate, so convincing is the ardor of war and of men, it's harder to breathe than to believe you're a friend. The wars at home, the wars abroad, all soaked in blood and lies and fraud.

Has any populist in Europe called for a binding referendum in every EU state over the results of the Brexit-deal yet, or don't they have the balls?

What would be the point in that? A huge expense to get peoples' opinions about something they are not at all interested in? You're going to have enough trouble getting governments to agree in countries like Ireland and France.

Also, you do not hold referenda on technical details. They are for broad constitutional issues.

In any case, I don't see why this particular thing would demand a referendum in EU countries. Most people in the EU don't have much of a reason to even care about the conditions of the UK leaving and it's gonna be pretty intricate anyway and thus very few of the potential voters would be anyhow informed and the whole thing would just be a big pointless gesture. This kind of deals is exactly what we pay the politicians for, so let them do it.

Don't ask me what the point of populists is. I am just here to mock them and their hypocrisy.

Also I don't consider these technical details. Not that I am for holding referenda because of it, but that's a different reasoning.

Some right wing radicals just crave to use the methods of radical Islam. Just read Anders Breivik, he is secretly in love with Jihad. Radical nationalists and Islamists have a lot in common, and it's not that surprising, really.
