Get ready for the defenders and their excuses.

What? Who has defended any of today's actions or made excuses? Apart from maybe excusing the Mosque attack.

Putin has just called it a provocation aimed at driving a wedge between Turkey and Russia. Also he claimed it was intended to disrupt the peace process and the latest cease fire in Syria. UK ambassador said on the BBC it may have been planned by members of the failed coup in Turkey.

Well there was a meeting tomorrow between Russia, Turkey, and Iran, about Syria... So I'm glad he's seeing this for what it is.

As far as Turkey is concerned, I'm sure Erdogan and others will be trying to pin this on Gülen.

Pretty sad state of affairs.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is blaming Islamist terrorists for a truck crashing into a Christmas market in Berlin that killed at least nine people and injured dozens more.

Although German authorities are still investigating the attack, the White House earlier also said the incident "appears to have been a terrorist attack."

Trump's statement offers nothing to back up his claim that Islamist terrorists were behind the attack. He says they and the Islamic State group continually slaughter Christians in their communities and places of worship as part of their global jihad.

The president-elect adds that terrorists must be "eradicated from the face of the earth" and pledges to carry out that mission with all "freedom-loving partners."

The Islamic State group and al-Qaida have both called on followers to use trucks to attack crowds.

Wtf is with this not naming it terrorism shit? What was it then? Hamas? Was it Al Nuesra? Who cares if we call it ISIS? It was a terror attack and we know who did it. I guess the media is still trying to play this "Muslim just conflicted over being a homosexual and had a bad road rage incident," angle. Feckless.

Let 'em. Only hurts them more.

But it's like dude. We know. How many times we been down this road? Why can't he say it's ISIS? And then when they fucking get proof it's ISIS like a phone call recording saying, hey I'm ISIS I'm shooting these people because Jihad and shiet for bombing my country the media STILL runs around in circles trying to spin it off as something else. I mean fuck let's be sure it's ISIS I guess, wouldn't want to get them mixed up with any of the other tiny radical minorities.

And this is where Trump is fucking up. Yeah you're going to hear me say he's fucking up for a change.

Trump said we should wipe ISIS off the face of the earth. That's Iraq 2.0 or (if the neocons get their way,) Iran 1.0. Fuck that. That's literally what ISIS wants and coincidentally so does the MIC.

It's fucking immigration. The answer is fucking immigration. I want the old Trump back that wanted to ban Muslim immigration. That's the answer dude. Not endless war. That's exactly what they want.

[Okeefenokee]

True.

BBC is now saying German police think the driver was from Afghanistan or Pakistan so maybe Taliban rather than ISIS. Either way it is providing ammo for the far right in Germany.
