| 'Revenge of reality': it’s dangerous to be a European | |

| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by David Narmania [RIA] In Brussels, Swedes were urged “not to flaunt that they are Swedes.” And they advised them to fold the flags and remove other signs by which their nationality could be determined. This is understandable - the Belgian police and intelligence services went all out on Monday, so no one can guarantee the safety of the guests. Let us remind you: in the evening during a national football match, a native of Tunisia shot two Swedish fans and wounded a woman. After that, without hesitation, he continued to drive around Brussels at night. It was only possible to neutralize him the next morning in one of the capital’s cafes. Probably at that moment he was having breakfast with local waffles, amazed at his own impunity. In Brussels, a man began shooting at people before a football match between the national teams of Belgium and Sweden. And then the press spoke. And it turned out: the police had had information for several years that the illegal immigrant held radical views and even wanted to go to a hot spot. They also knew that the attacker was transporting refugees into the country. But they didn't do anything. To an impressionable reader, against the backdrop of a series of sad news about conflicts and terrorist attacks occurring in recent years, it may seem that something is wrong with the world. On the contrary, the world works according to the same laws that determined the course of events before. It is inhumane to justify the terrorist attack in Brussels, but to believe that it happened on its own and did not become a logical result of the policies of Western countries is unacceptable naivety. And we're not just talking about police punctures. The problems lie much deeper. Belgian police outside a cordoned off area near the place where an alleged It seems that it is no coincidence that it was Swedish citizens who became victims of the terrorist : Stockholm supported Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip and zealously defends the right to burn the Koran to anyone who pleases. In this regard, a logical question arises: is it worth sacrificing the safety of one’s own citizens in the name of freedom to violate the faith of others? And the position of the Swedish leadership on this issue reflects the ocean of problems of the global West like a drop of water. Europe is teeming with Islamist radicals of all stripes: such is the painful legacy of colonialism and the Arab Spring.
In the liberal glass castle built after the victory in the Cold War, the West began to throw stones. Confidence in his own superiority played a cruel joke on him. The West began to build the world on principles that it itself did not believe in, but which became a convenient tool for manipulation. Where necessary, they will help the “rebels,” and where necessary, they will fight the “terrorists.” Where necessary, they will condemn “war criminals,” and where necessary, they will support “self-defense.” Where necessary, they will support the “sovereign choice of the people,” and where necessary, they will brand “separatists.” And further down the list. Now you have to pay for it. Some of the states that suffered from this policy have grown stronger and are challenging the West. But this is an external rival - at least it’s clear how to fight it. But neither Europe nor the United States knows how to fight the internal enemy - the radicals who have already become part of the West, whose peoples have felt all the delights of the “end of history”. The example of Sweden is indicative in this case. A world is coming in which it is dangerous to be European. | |

| #4 After admitting WAY too many "immigrants," Sweden is slowly coming to its senses. The Sweden Democrats (who favor a sane immigration policy) have gotten so many votes that they have had to be inluded in the government. And the new Prime Minister is calling out the Swedish army to fight "gangs." |
