Whilst I'm glad the fella survived it you'd have to say that was shoddy work on the part of IS. I would think it was obvious that someone would try that. I thought that was why they did a walk through afterwards, to finish people off individually.
Anyway, the situation with Putin is a bigger concern than IS in my opinion. IS don't have the capability to mobilise on the scale of Russia and their attacks on the west will be sporadic and small scale. I don't think we should ignore them by any means, they are a real danger, but Russia is trying to de-stabilise Europe as a whole. I don't know what is behind Putin's thinking but he has always been an old style communist. He was initially opposed to reform within the Soviet Union and was an active campaigner against its devolution. In my opinion, and it is just that, I think he wants to expand Russia's borders to such an extent that what was formerly the Soviet Union will become the new Russia. He won't achieve that but he will make considerable gains and will capture plenty of territory. Ukraine is just the first country in his sights. It is a clever strategy to focus on the regions to extreme east of the country too. By doing so he has created a front on both sides which will narrow over time. It's a long term strategy in place there.
The UN is powerless to do anything about this until such time as Germany has alternative energy solutions in place. They're working frantically on this at the moment with Global Tech 1 and 2 and Godewind wind farms off the north coast. The first one was completed last week and the whole farm is now about to start the commissioning process. This will generate massive amounts of renewable power for Germany but is nowhere near enough to make up the shortfall should Russia pull the plug. It will be about 5 more years before they are evn close to that.
One final note on IS though. They were behind the attack on Tripoli airport recently. The result of that is that there are several commercial aircraft that are missing!!!!!
More importantly than any of that though is this simple fact......
Augie thinks it's all Wengers fault
