Oedipus Wreckx-n-Effect Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Well, I'm gonna break the cycle of horrible news for a brief second. I saw this on Facebook, and yeah I know, those 1.5-2.0 minute facebook videos can be horribly annoying, but this one caught my eye. Terminally ill dude who loves photography, but doesn't have any hands. In comes an engineer to save the day. https://www.facebook.com/bbcnews/videos/10154567794050659/?hc_ref=NEWSFEED Pretty neat, I though.

Priory_of_Sion Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Turkey's internal politics are extremely important as blame could be pushed onto the Gulenists( I suspect this guy was just a loner and not a Gulenist fwiw) which I think is likely. Unfortunately, Gulen is in Pennsylvania and his presence here will lead to even more heightened tensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoooSeR Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Slow progress in Mosul. Compared to Aleppo and Palmyra it is really slow. Golden Division casualites are pretty high (heard up to 30-40%). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donward Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 They got the vermin responsible for the Berlin truck attack. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38415287 He was shot dead in Milan, Italy during a shootout with Italian cops where he pulled a handgun and shot an officer. Another Italian cop returned fire which sent Anis Amri screaming to hell. It's kind of boggling that a fugitive like that is able to cross (two? three?) international borders and go from Berlin to Milan Italy, which is a trip of at least 640 miles.
