The US senate voted against taking in more Syrian refugees.

The US is henceforth known in the world as "that nation that you should not make agreements with, because they'll just break them"

It's just plain dumb. If those senators had taken the time to do their jobs, and inform themselves about it, European intelligence agencies could hve told them that the Paris attacks were mostly if not completely carried out by people who were born and raised in Europe (except for the Syrian passport that was found, which might just as well be a stolen passport from an innocent refugee).
So if those senators are so afraid for terrorist attacks, as to take back a promise made to the international community about taking in 100k refugees, they should be consistent, and also vote to remove all muslims from the US.

I suspect there is A LOT of 'jumping on the bandwagon' here.

European networks would have also told you many more already made it through xD
USA is already #1 in foreign aid to the refugees, there is literally no reason America needs to jeopardize its home security for good feelings when it already helps millions more than a measly hundred thousand without having to vet through hundreds of thousands of people for a few hundred jihadists or assad loyalists

[Rolepgeek]

Best aid is a place to live, for someone who doesn't have one.

This ain't the American politics thread, so I won't say anymore on that, though.

Meanwhile Crimea got a partial blackout.

No, not because government decided that supplying occupied territory with anything is wrong but because some Crimean Tatars and Right Sector I mean some Russian sabotagers (Or was it ISIS?) blew up some high voltage lines supports.

[Sergarr]

That was a funny story. Especially the part where, yesterday, UA government soldiers (the national guard, I think?) have tried to forcefully move them (the rebellious Crimean Tatar faction + some Right Sector people) away from the almost-blown-up supports (right side of the picture) to clear up the way for repair teams.

Something about seeing your enemy fight your other enemy for the right to deliver you electricity makes it much funnier than it should've been.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

I suspect that Ukrainian governments pretends that it tries to stop it. If they will not repair the lines in the next few weeks than I will be sure

I don't know, think of all the Crimean slavs who couldn't shitpost on the internet

[Ukrainian Ranger]

They have 4-8 hours of electricity per day. It is enough to satisfy their daily dose of shitposting even without taking tablets into account.

So remember that attack in Sarajevo a week or so ago?

Well, two nights ago, one of the army generals was driving somewhere, home probably. As he was going trough a tunnel a person from the car in front of him tossed an explosive device onto the roadway. It was one of the more powerful firecracker types, probably meant to land on the windshield and shatter it or panic him enough so that he rams into one of the tunnel walls at high speed. In any case, they failed as it exploded a dozen meters before his car, and he was composed enough to keep driving and even got their plates, after which he promptly got into the nearest police station to report them.
Allegedly they turned themselves in and claimed it was a prank or something and that they didn't know who was in the car. Which is kinda funny because he was driving an official army car which have different license plates and as it turns out the guy who tossed the thing is a member of one of the goverment security forces, there are several and I can't recall which one it is exactly.
Now this whole thing should be all over the news, because days after the attack in Sarajevo someone tries to attack one of the highest ranking army officials in the country. Yet, it isn't, in fact, it was barely mentioned anywhere, and especially online the articles are being heavily regulated and most comments, especially those who appear to know more than what is being reported are being promptly deleted.
And the worst part of it all is that it's going to work, the guy who did it got the job because of his father it seems who is somebody important or something, so he probably won't even lose it, let alone face jail time for attempted murder, and shit will just continue happening as usual.

Because as one of the sayings in the region goes: "When you're swimming in shit, don't make any waves"

In Jerusalem today, 2 teenage girls, around 12 years old according to witnesses, stabbed a Palestinian man in the back and in the head with scissors. They are assumed to have mistaken him for a jew.
The girls were ordered by the Israeli police that had arrived at the scene, to drop their scissors, and shot when they refused and instead charged at the police. One of the girls died to police fire, the other was injured.

That's what happens when you fill kids heads with that kind of hate.....

Yo ho ho, and a half litre of rum!

[martinuzz]

That can't have been a Russian captain. If it was, he'd have drunk a full litre of vodka, not rum. And parked the ship safely in port at that.
