Two explosions at Brussels airport

Even if you had the best security money could buy at every airport you cannot stop people congregating in central areas, be that metros, train stations, shopping centres etc. You cannot secure them all.

We didn't turn most of Iraq and Syria into glass either. And terrorists don't leave the country because they need to; they leave it because they want to attack other nations.

you really need to read up on what has happened in the last 20 years in the middle east and why so many of the young people are angry enough to commit the crimes they have done.

Seems that the second explosion at the airport was to catch the civilians running away from the first explosion. The utter cowardice of these terrorists makes me sick

Not really that different to dropping time delayed fuses mixed with immediate ignition ones from an aircraft, in some form or other it's a tactic that has been used by all sides in warfare following explosive weapons taking battlefield primacy in the 15th century.

It's nasty but sound tactical reasoning to cause maximum effect. I'm not condoning it but terrorists are not the only ones who do it.

Not condoning, any civilian/armed forces/Police/politician death was a tragic waste of life and in no way would i support that.

I was merely pointing out that the IRA took a degree of 'pre-caution' to limit civilian from 'targets' ( sadly our Armed Forces/Police/Politicians )

ISIS just go for maximum bloodshed regardless.

Sounds almost like you are trying to derail a topic.
IRA malevolence is mostly gone, all that remain here are retarded idiots, who mostly sell drugs, pretend they don't, shoot people for selling drugs, and seem to be floundering for an actual cause currently to fight for.
They exist in part, but are completely different to the previous system, most people, most young are soundly against any such actions. They have no ground swell of support, personally, socially or politically outside of small areas.
They are no waging war against everything which is not them.
They never actually did it in the name of religion either, just the war lines were drawn along such basis.

So let's get back to the topic, murders as part of an act of terror, or grouped act of terror by ISIS in another European capital.
RIP to the death and may their families find some peace in the time to follow.
 
Well if it makes them vote for Brexit they are complete idiots.

I'd laugh if it wasn't so depressing. France would probably just stop allowing the UK to have their border check in France and you would have horrible detention centres in the UK breeding more disenchantment.

Being (or not being) part of the EU should have very little to do with recent terrorist attacks. By all accounts we have better information sharing as part of the EU than we would out of it.

Absolutely not, there were multiple-posters seemingly implying that bombings were a recent thing that only Muslims carried out.

That is a mindset perpetuated by 24/7 rolling news and Daily Mail style migrant bashing.

All I was pointing out is that we as a country lived under the threat of bombing everyday for 20+ years and we didn't let the terrorists get to us.

No, but they are two different groups with different agendas. Killing hundreds of civilians on the streets of London/Manchester would be massively detrimental to what they were trying to achieve. It would have ended them overnight. Support for them in the US and Republic of Ireland would evaporate.
The bombs they had, if they had wanted to there would have been carnage.

I'd be far more worried of an ISIS cell getting their hands on bombs the size of which the IRA blew up. Their agenda is carnage, nothing else.
 
Leaving the EU over this would only make sense if the EU as a whole were war mongering and the UK has felt forced to support such actions due to pressure from the EU. This isn't the case. We are quite happy to cozy up to the USA and look for fights without full EU Support.
 
Tragic but not surprising, I feel i have become desensitised to terror attacks.

What you have to remember is that there is no golden solution to all of this, terror attacks will always happen, no matter what direction the government/security forces take, you cant keep everyone happy, some groups of people(be that religious/political/whatever) somewhere will not like/agree, and within this group will be a small minority of unhinged deranged people who will stop at no ends to get there agenda/point across.

This, unfortunately is the human race!

You do understand that the border checks in France are part of a complete different deal between FR/UK , and that being in the EU or not has no bearing on it at all.

Stop the scare mongering.
