I hope that you don't really think that I answer to this seriously.
No, we live in a globalized world, right?, and it doesn't matter for me where
these attacks took place, in Paris, Berlin, New York, Moscow,whereever. (BTW,
how would you react if the Kreml was attacked in such a way?) I was
completely shocked when I heard it first, but my second thought was: how will
they react? Looking at the military history of the U. S. after WW 2, the US
forces repeated the same faults again and again. You think technology is
everything. You lost Vietnam because you believed in technology - in the same
way as the Soviets lost the war in Afghanistan. Guerilla tactics was always a
problem for high-technology-armies. If you want to do it the right way you
must learn from Israel. But they have still the same problem: what I called
the terrorist hydra.
A-weapons? B-weapons? No. CK-weapons: carpet knives!
But what I think is of no importance. They'll do what they think they must do.
But I also hate these wild fantasies about WW III and other cold warrior
bullshit. Sorry, but this is not my way.
