In response to the NATO's announcement of strenghtening their presence in the Baltic and other states bordering Russia with 4000 troops, the Russian defense minister Shoigu has announced that the Russian army will be expanded by 3 full divisions, which will be stationed along the western and southern borders of Russia, to "counter the growing force of NATO units near the Russian border". The formation of the three divisions should be expected to be complete before the end of the year.
Damn, troop buildup for real. Not good. Putin please don't start ww3.

Acording to their research, IS puts boys in military training camps starting at age 9, where they are trained in handling blades and firearms, and practice executions, and made to swear allegiance to Abru Bakr al-Baghdadi.
For girls, 9 is the age when they start getting lessons in "how to assist their future husband in armed conflict", and also the age at which they have to start wearing a niqab.
According to the AIVD "this makes it so that we have to regard 9 year old returnees as just as much of a threat to public safety in the Netherlands as adults".
In practice this means that henceforth, such children will be registered, monitored, and their data will be shared with foreign intelligence.
At this time, it is estimated that 250 Dutch citizens have travelled to Syria, of whom 42 have been killed, and 40 have returned to the Netherlands. AIVD estimates that about 70 Dutch children are in Syria.
Child Rights department of justice has not reacted yet, but I expect that there'll be some ruckus, mostly about the 'share info about minors with foreign intelligence service' part.
