In the game of ISIS whack-a-mole I think we should ignore Libya for awhile and keep whacking them in the Syria/Iraq theater. Their proclaimed homeland and capital should be ground to nothing.
Maybe we can pay Egypt to go after the ones in Libya for us. Offer them some of that good old oil money if they stabilize the place.

"The Balts can't possibly keep a Russian invasion at bay without NATO's aid. They're right, too, that Western analysts spend too much time imagining Russia taking a Ukraine-style approach to destabilizing the Balts, when a quick, outright invasion is more likely."
No, I think a long destabilization campaign is much more likely than an invasion.

From Israel, almost nothing. From South Vietnam & Finland, a lot.

So like where did all the Baltic Waffen-SS units go when you really need them. Poetic irony: the Balts heartily agreed in murdering their Jewish fellow citizens as the Germans looked on - and now one wants them to take lessons from Israel? lol

g(r)om, that's why you do it quietly, by the sly. You know sort of like 'Money for Kimmy', their little bad boy or 'Money for Karachi' like the Saudis.

(i) Look up the Baltic economies. Not sure they've this kind of money (by the way these are several countries---who don't particularly like each other).
(ii) On the quiet? You can't get a nuke on the quiet. You can fool people, who want to be fooled.

I really suspect there's a event in the future whose result will be a sudden appearance of a lot of people having nukes who previously quietly assembled or purchased the necessary ingredients.
[DAWN] AT a time when the rest of the country is worrying about how to protect our children from holy warriors who have vowed to attack more educational institutions, the Jamaat-e-Islami ...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... appears unduly preoccupied with school textbooks that show people wearing trousers, girls in short sleeves and drawings of human body organs.
Such absurdities -- especially the last, for what else would a biology textbook be expected to contain -- would perhaps be easier to stomach had the party, which is a coalition partner of the ruling PTI in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... , actually made some useful contribution towards the ongoing discussions on the best way to protect our educational institutions from terrorist threats.
But thus far we have heard nothing very constructive from it as far as that conversation is concerned. Instead, there is a long list of what the JI, or at least its chapter in the province, considers objectionable that has already been submitted to the education department.
One wonders how this list has been received. Some reports suggest the list has been rejected.
At a time when the education department of the province, headed by a PTI minister, is striving to rebuild schools damaged by floods and protect other educational sites from terrorist attacks of the sort that KP has already witnessed, how exactly does the provincial government perceive this list?
Already the education department has tried to appease the JI, mainly by removing a chapter on Helen Keller -- whose story is a ray of hope for the deaf and mute -- which was a bizarre response.
Others have shied away from allowing the use of Malala Yousafzai ...a Pashtun blogger and advocate for girls' education from Mingora, in Swat. She started blogging at age 11-12. She was 15 when a Talib boarded her school bus and shot her in the head in 2012. She was evacuated to a hospital in Britain and the Pak Taliban vowed to kill her and her father. Among other awards, she received the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize, which she deserved more than Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, Yasser Arafat, or Rigoberta Menchu... 's book in higher education for fear of offending some with an bully boy mindset.
One sincerely hopes that the education authorities will not now feel they have to indulge in further acts of appeasement, if, for instance, they are asked to rewrite science and history textbooks; and that the ruling party will prove equal to the task of imparting a sound education to the children of the province.
The provincial chief of the JI has pointed to an 'agreement' that he says his party has with the PTI on education matters in KP, and hopes that all issues will be settled 'amicably'. It would be troubling if this meant giving in to demands that can only deal a lethal blow to all efforts to bring education back from the brink in KP.

[PJ] Straining at gnats while swallowing camels is increasingly how Islam's apologists rationalize away the violence and hate Sharia engenders for the "infidel," the non-Muslim. Consider the significance of yet another video of yet another learned Muslim justifying the enslavement and rape of non-Muslim women.
Suad Saleh, a female professor of doctrine at Al Azhar University, correctly defines the Arabic phrase melk al-yamin -- "right hand possession" (see Koran 4:3):
[Non-Muslim] female prisoners of wars are "those whom you own." In order to humiliate them, they become the property of the [Muslim] army commander, or of a Muslim, and he can have sex with them just like he has sex with his wives.
Ms. Saleh's comments are not new or unique. Countless Muslims -- beginning with Muhammad himself -- have confirmed that Islam permits the sexual enslavement of non-Muslim women seized during the jihad.
Saleh cannot even take the "honor" of being the first Muslim woman to support this inherently misogynistic creed.
Both seek the destruction of Western Civilization. The Left because it believes in the false belief that from its ashes it will create a utopia. It will be another Dark Age.

It was one thing in days of old when they could justify this type of behavior among themselves. But with modern communications when the details of each new atrocity can be flashed across the globe in an instant there is no longer any excuse for it. Their apologists must be exposed for being as evil as they are.

We need to start playing the "Men of the West" pre-battle oration by Aragorn before the final battle in Lord of the Rings.
The rapid demise of all we hold dear approaches as we rush towards cultural Armageddon

Ahhhh, Islamo-Muslim "progress", aka the Hardline-or-Harder "Status Quo".
Apparently the burden is STILL on the US-West = Non-Islamic/Muslim World to surrender like France to Islam or Radical Islamism, NOT for the latter to change or modernize its ways.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
