Ok, so to say that what has been going on with ISIS is an absolutely disgusting shame is not helping, so I’ll refrain…. But someone is going to have to stop them…
Super Vladimir is at it again, undoubtedly with a broader agenda. The good news (relatively) is that the Russians are not held hostage by their media in how they deal with a war… And war is by definition the most horrible activity humans get themselves busy with…
Quite large numbers of Europeans (as well as Americans, Canadians, Australians, …) joined ISIS. What do we do? We do track them and offer all kinds of things upon their return to “help”. Seriously!! Ok, most now do go straight to jail and might stay there a while, but is that the right thing to do? Does it make us feel better about the fact that it is our Society that has brought them up to do what they do…?
Here’s an idea: the EU member States, Russia, the USA and others should formally recognize the Islamic State and in the same statement, declare war. This means that anyone from those States who goes to fight on the side of ISIS would be guilty of high treason under the rules of war and thus be promptly executed if they return or get caught. Not nice? Well, toughen up! It will make anyone think twice about which side they’re on and save us the pathetic intellectual debates about why it attracts some of our youth to whom we neglected to teach human values and respect of others and themselves…
What this means is war. We’d have to go out there and beat the holy crap out of them. This means killing the “enemies”, all of them, with the dreadful certitude that we’ll count among the victims innocent people, the elderly, women and children….
Are we ready for that? Think it over as we are getting there, slowly though, but that is where we’re going….
Unpleasant times ahead indeed…. And again: Watch the next elections!!!
