Putin has grim determination and then some.

Hollande is a socialist. we will see what happens.

French authorities have said the attacks were planned in Brussels by a local man, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, 28, who fought for Islamic State in Syria and was killed in the siege of an apartment in the Paris suburb of St. Denis on Wednesday.

So why is Europe upset? He went on vacation, learned a trade, returned and followed through? /s

[oblomov]

No, the multiculti pieties are still very much intact.

Oh indeed. The only change is the get tough stance and who knows how long that will last.

BS. As I predicted, Hollande is saber rattling & dropping a few bombs, but he is still shilling to admit more Muslim refugees into France. No doubt he thinks the former will give him cover to do the latter—in fact, that may be the ONLY reason why he wants to appear like a man-of-action. My only surprise is that he did it within a week of the Paris massacre—I thought he’d at least wait 2 weeks.

Leftist socialist—but when France is attacked he shows his patriotism and becomes Winston Churchill. That’s what leaders do—sadly we haven’t had one for a while. France will break the back of this new threat then roll up their sleeves and tackle the Islamic enemy athome.

Oh Plz.. He’s milquetoast.

‘Sure pardner, you can let 30,000 more military-aged islamic migrants into my country right after a giant terrorist attack.. You see I don’t mind because I’m such a confident, manly Frenchman... We can just sing that magic song “Imagine” to them and they will fall over weeping and begging to become good Frenchmen.’
