Why Isn't the US, the UK, and France, On "Heightened Alert" For Moscow Style ISIS Attacks?
It Would Certainly Seem Like One, or All Three, Should Be, So Why Aren't We?
Considering what just happened in Moscow, with an ISIS terrorist attack, killing at least 133 people, and injuring another 100+, culminating with the complete destruction of the Crocus City building, and yet… nothing to fear in The West?
Paris, France is practically overrun with Muslim immigrants, and the UK has actual “no go zones” because of them, and the United States has allowed, God knows, 8-10 million illegal aliens of unknown origins, backgrounds, and international affiliations to flood into our country in the past 3-4 years, and there isn’t even a hint, that we should be concerned with a follow-on attack?
No alerts, no warnings, not even some random media chatter? Did something happen in the past few years? Did we “make peace” with radical Muslim terrorists? Did they suddenly forgive us for supporting Israel, or for having troops on the Saudi Peninsula near the Holy Cities of Mecca and Medina? (and all over the Middle East for that matter) Are we “in the clear” about Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria?
It doesn’t seem like we’ve done anything to lose our “Great Satan” rep in the Muslim world; Am I missing something here? What with countless Muslims from the radical Muslims hotbeds throughout the Middle East, peppered across France, the UK, and the US, and not even a smidge of concern that “we might be next”? Nothing in Germany?
Has there been some invisible paradigm shift? I thought we were second only to Israel, “the Little Satan”, as a target for terror? Do they no longer “hate us because of our freedom”?
It seems to be that we have two choices-
Assume that the government is telling us the truth, that the Moscow attack was perpetrated by ISIS-K, and also assume that any Western Nation could be next, and put ourselves on “Heightened Alert”, especially at crowded venues, concerts, shopping malls, etc., or…
Ask ourselves how it is possible that we are no longer a target for Islamic Terrorism, even though all of our policies remain relatively unchanged, and why it is that suddenly ONLY Russia has to worry about this stuff?
Speaking only for myself, I find all of this most distressing.
What’s changed?
Or, has nothing changed, and it was all a lie?
Update: France raises its terror alert to highest level in wake of Moscow attack (better late than never?)
