2) To graphically illustrate the point that a significant portion of the terrorism we see is retaliatory in nature. When western powers are doing that kind of thing you really expect for it to come without repercussion?
You still didn't establish that it actually happens
because of the CIA playing Gestapo. The funny thing about black sites is that they are, you know,
secret. Hence why it's only become official when these reports were published. And even then there's a leap from
that to divining the terrorists' motivations, unless you're an internet psychic. Or, I suppose, are a black site interrogator yourself and they told you that themselves.
Also: 'trolling' is not 'someone is disagreeing with me!'. You've made a big fucking claim that a) Terrorism
IS largely retaliatory, and b) that
CIA says so.
I'm completely willing to believe that people who have an established past of, y'know, torture, could commit rape too, it's not like it's too far removed. But the evidence you provided (initially, in the case of rapes) has exactly fuck-all to do with your claims. Hence the question whether you read your own sources - I didn't say it definitely didn't happen - I said that as far as the evidence you've provided goes, your claims are thoroughly unsubstantiated.
The problem is that most of these "refugees" are no refugees at all. They are the Syrian middle class that's running to Europe to have an easy life of welfare. The trip on the pontoons costs $1500. Fifteen hundred dollars. How would a refugee be able to afford that? And the Syrians sneaking into Germany are fucking covered in money. I-Phones, tablets, Rolex watches.
Ohw yeah because there isn't a war going on in Syria with homocidal maniacs killing civilians everywhere at all . The entire point is that the middle class doesn't leave their country for economic reaons, they leave their country because they don't want to be beheaded by some IS lunatic or get a bomb dropped on their head. Europe just doesn't like that it's the place these people are fleeing to. some of these refugees at least, the vast majority of refugees is in neighbouring countries like Turkey
Also, logic hole: You (i.e. STT) are accusing the refugees of being middle-class and affluent, and question how would a refugee afford that.
Yes. Yes, how WOULD a refugee afford that
unless he already was relatively affluent? If you're poor, you cannot afford 1500$, therefore you cannot get a trip on the pontoons, therefore you don't see them.
And for that matter, being covered in money is a pretty good idea when everything you have is what you can carry. It's better to grab the expensive stuff as a portable stash o' cash.
For that matter, considering people
die along the way, running to Europe for an easy life when they can already afford iPhones and Rolexes seems to be
a bit ill-conceived.
