I'm trying to get update from the spot, a friend of ours was supposed to get flight this morning, we have been on text with them and thankfully they are okay, as was late due to being stuck in traffic, so they're just sitting in the car about half mile away from Zaventem.

Perhaps if more threads appear about this disturbing happening at Zaventum Airport, then they could be merged with this thread which is the first thread about this situation? Then we don't have like 6 different threads about it, if this could be considered.

What I think many here in Europa are thinking, is why is everything centering on France and Belgium? It's very curious why this is.

We're at war with Islam. Trump is right...Time to kill them!

We're at war with Islam. Trump is right...Time to kill them!

Yeah and then the right wing's wet dream will come true.

The end of the Cold War was the worst thing that happened to the right.

Their President got kicked out of office, the last President to do so, Clinton was in for 8 years and then Bush got elected and found what the right was looking for.

An excuse to spend more on the military, have more insecurity, have people being more nationalistic.

Who dies? Not the rich, but the normal people.

Thanks Bush, for causing all of this, for making war and making people angry enough for them to come and kill us.

Who is rational and civilized exactly?

You mean, like the country that went to war on a completely false pretext and then completely and utterly fucked up the post war period in total style?

This ISN'T the time to bring in this stuff, Brussels in CHAOS at major airport and now at major Metro station and so far 17 people are dead this morning and who knows how many more dead and seriously injured.

We're at war with Islam. Trump is right...Time to kill them!

It isn't Islam we are at war with; it is terrorists.

And it isn't "we" who are at war, it's "them", the rich people, the people whose interests are all messed up.

And has it changed?

In France someone wanted to make a film, only a few years ago, about the soccer match in no-man's-land at xmas 1914.
The French govt wanted to prevent it happening. They spent 90 years trying to cover up the fact that the poor people wanted nothing to do with the rich people's war, and wanted to start a revolution.

In Russia they were successful, mainly because the Tsar was inept and couldn't deal with his country.

ALL the terrorists follow ISLAM or haven't you noticed? It's to be expected that all the Islam apologists would have to start with the usual mantra.

Yes it is. It's the EXACT time to be bring this stuff up. People are DYING because of the actions of assholes like Bush who were elected by people who are doing the very same thing they did when then elected Bush with Trump right now.

Now is the time to say enough is enough and people like Trump and the Republican Party can go fuck themselves and we don't want to be dying any more for their sick interests.

Time to stop this, rather than escalate this.

You're not even On Topic, the thread is about the bomb explosions in Brussels....not about what occured in 1914.

Who is surprised that ALL Islamic terrorists follow Islam? Jeez, you'd have to be stupid to think that Islamic terrorists aren't following Islam.

But not all terrorists are Muslims. Did you notice that?
