the video of them with the iraqi POW's is sickening. parading them in their underwear then shooting them at near point blank with automatic weapons.

"A high-altitude nuclear detonation produces an immediate flux of gamma rays from the nuclear reactions within the device. These photons in turn produce high energy free electrons by Compton scattering at altitudes between (roughly) 20 and 40 km. These electrons are then trapped in the Earth's magnetic field, giving rise to an oscillating electric current. This current is asymmetric in general and gives rise to a rapidly rising radiated electromagnetic field called an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). Because the electrons are trapped essentially simultaneously, a very large electromagnetic source radiates coherently.
The pulse can easily span continent-sized areas, and this radiation can affect systems on land, sea, and air. ... A large device detonated at 400–500 km (250 to 312 miles) over Kansas would affect all of the continental U.S. The signal from such an event extends to the visual horizon as seen from the burst point." taken from wikipedia.
Basically put, ONE nuclear missile could destroy 1 city and instantly kill X amount of people OR explode one 250 to 312 miles and knock out every single electrical component in America. Cars, TVs, hospitals, ANYTHING electronic. Our governments electrical components aren't hardened for this. So this would kill anyone with diabetes, anyone with medical issues that rely on medicine day to day to live, basically everyone who depends electricity.

are you implying that this technology only exists in movies? lol enemies of your country, Russia and china already possess emp technology. a pulse whether it's from emp attack or solar emp can wipe out 100% power to everything connected. you obviously don't realize how much power is required in order to cool a nuclear reactor. how many nuclear reactors do you have? then take into account zero access to water+food and transportation. but ya, matrix and oceans 11.....this is more real than you know, why else would there be warnings from experts to members of congress in your nations capital?
13121729:Food_Stamps said:
No, I'm implying the people that would actually use it against the USA, or anyone else don't even have access to a nuclear reactor, much less any technology that would allow them to excecute an EMP attack on the USA, it's allies, or any other nation with a non-safeguarded electronic infrastructure.
...and they don't have the ability to break into CalTech and steal an EMP device, or head to the future and steal one of those crazy magnet ships from the Matrix movies...
...so yes. In that light, I'm implying that such technology that they would be able to possess only exists in movies.
13123055:shane.t said:
Your example was a nuclear missile detonation over a city - these guys don't have access to nuclear weapons much less ICBMs of any size (less they somehow captured some scuds or something, but I kinda doubt that).
Find me an EMP device that these guys could have easily gained access to that they might have the means and knowledge of how to operate, and maybe then I'll worry... until then I'm very much not worried about any such EMP attack.
13123071:shane.t said:
That was the point I was making. They don't have nukes. They can't steal one. They can't steal any other EMP devices that top militaries in Russia, China, Europe, and the USA may have... They definitely can't raid CalTech or the future for the EMP devices from the movies...
Basically their chances of setting off an EMP attack are about as likely as them attacking our imagination...

EMP attacks? These fucks only exist for instagram, snapchat, and twitter.
Could they do it? yeah, probably. Would they? Nope, they need to find their goat porn somewhere.
I generally don't give a fuck about a journalist, even an American ones. They are generally all a particular breed of egotistical stupid.
Chopping babies in half and mass murder of non journalists? Building themselves up as the new, but more extreme, Taliban? Now we got some issues worth putting warheads to foreheads, bullets to brains, and a boot into the motherfucking face.
If anyone wants to go find it, there is a video on live leak of some ISIS fucks crying like bitches while they get slapped around by their Iraqi captors. Some seemed western born shitheads. Bitches.

Thousands of men herded like cattle to be killed in just the most banal manner, and with such ease. It's really sobering to see what humans can do to one another when we're at our worst

makes me wonder why they didn't just fight back. at this point, your death is a guarantee. some 1500 people fighting back would be quite the site to see. yeah, you'd probably all mostly die, but you're going to any way. if i knew a dude was coming down a line and my head was 10 seconds away from being blown off, id probably be inclined to do something...

Probably the same reason no one every really fought back against the Nazis while they were doing similar things.
No one wants to be the one to incite it because then you'll definitely be the first one dead, and you don't necessarily know that being cooperative will lead to your death. Not to mention that when you're unarmed and a group of well armed guys are yelling at you, you probably aren't thinking uprising.
I don't like the idea of putting soldiers on the ground over there for this. It's what they want, and it gives them a tangible enemy. Airstrikes are hard to comprehend as an enemy. You can't see the man shooting at you. You can't track him, ambush him, or plan against him. It absolutely destroys morale when bombs from unseen planes are decimating your group. Makes it even worse when you have no way of fighting back against them either.
I say launch another Rolling Thunder. Bomb them everywhere. Day after day, night after night.

Realize the culture in this part of the world...
They have never really seen or known democracy. They know what it's like to be ruled by a strongman. It wasn't until 50 years ago that they even knew what democracy or voting could possibly be, and they've yet to see it work out well because it's either rigged or everyone just votes for the guy with the most power anyway. The only stable countries in the area are monarchies or dictatorships. Democracies fail as soon as they go up. This is how things go the further east you go for the most part...
Aside from this, but dying in the name of god is a real thing there, and it's not like our european style "I SHALL NOT DIE IN VAIN" mentality that gets handed down from Norse Mythology of not going out like a bitch or else you end up in Hel, but more just faith that Allah will bring them everlasting peace as long as they accept him - similar to how christians believe that they will be 'saved' as long as they believe in Jesus.
Remember in American history, we already had 500 years of pseudo democracy engrained in our European based culture. When we beat Britain, we still wanted to crown George Washington because it was basically what we knew... it still took us 50 or so years after that event for us to finally figure out the basis of our democracy and start tying it together. Canada just kinda did whatever mother England did and that worked out for them too in the end.
So yes. in that light, the individual 'fight' that one might have there is far more diminished and controlled by those with power - and there's not much we can do about it until this whole Arab Spring thing finally takes shape - it's similar to what Europe was going through 100 years ago but with less structure. We gotta give them a bit of a break here.

Worry now. Everything is going to kill you. Everyone poses a real threat to your safety everyday. Don't you watch the news? And if you manage to survive the next wave of super scary diseases is sure to kill you.
It's nothing to laugh about. I've seen the news. I'm scared to even leave my house because I realize there's a good chance that the muslim guy living a town a way is almost guaranteed to try to blow me up and anything I touch will probably infect me with some crazy future disease that has yet to hit the news.

"DingoSean: and maybe then I'll worry"
if your house is burning down and you want to put the blaze out is it because you are worried? do you even know what a drone is lol? even those "goat fuckers" could gain access to a nuclear reactor on American soil fyi. I think it's a better idea for individuals to pay close attention to intellectual minds like Chomsky...would you agree?

Sorry, you are in error. Just because the name ISIS wasn't around doesn't mean the same group didn't exist. They've actually changed their name many times but are the same group. And it's believed they've been active for around 10 years.
For reference check out this article. Very very helpful for understanding what's been going on over there. And it's the New York Times so I'm not pulling your leg.

Once you leave the west, no one gives a fuck about a red cross, a blue helmet or the fact that you just "want to help." All of those things really just shout "SOFT TARGET" to the 'bad guys.' Want to change the world? Great, take a gun, lots of ammo, and be ready to start shooting.
Horn of Africa? West Africa? North Africa? Middle East?
"What are you going to need besides a miracle?"
-"Guns, lots of Guns"

As much as I would love to see our military go in and eradicate these fuckers, they would likely be more than happy for that to happen as they would likely take quite a few americans down with them. As was said earlier, its far sweeter to know that they are getting blown to bits not knowing what hit them and knowing that they never had a shot.

im assuming they are in the city as we speak, though I feel these articles that say "theyre right at the gates" are a bit misleading. I read a lot that they were at least an hour or two outside of the city, not right outside.
troops have to intervene if they make it to the city, there is no way that can happen.

I know it's well known now, but it's still crazy to actually see how well organized ISIS is. They look much more disciplined than the Iraqi army and Peshmerga and whoever else they're fighting. They're advancing in textbook formations and the Iraqi Army I saw couldn't even patrol without dragging their rifles in the dirt. They're also pretty well armed and if it weren't for all the Western airstrikes the current situation would be a lot different.

This. Another group that is well organized, despite their affiliation with al-Qaeda, is al-Nusra Front. A lot of their members are former jihadists who fought in Iraq and now have taken their "talents" back to their homeland in Syria. Unlike ISIS, they put their ideologies about non-Sunni Muslims on the backburner and have only been targeting Assad and attempting to keep civilian deaths to the minimum.
ISIS may be well-funded and well-armed, but they are facing an coalition of enemies that will ultimately prevail.

is the islamic front the same thing as ISIS? or is it a completely different faction?
