I doubt anyone has a problem to call out an Islamist terrorist attack If there is one. The problem is that with 20,000 homicide a year and like a mass shooting almost every day in USA, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States_in_2024

it's just way too exaggerated to call Muslims the problem or whatever group is supposed to be evil. As If the other 95%+ of mass killings which have no religious background just never happen

And yet, since the 2000s, which group has committed the most terrorism in America?  The question is really over terrorism, not mass shootings in general, so this is not a valid comparison.  Apples to oranges as we say over here.  

The issue of terrorism though is that it has the potential for much higher numbers of deaths than some random nutjob.  9/11 was a terrible event for America and thousands died that day.  And if it is such a concern for our CIA and FBI, then wouldn't it be prudent for the average American to be concerned as well?   

Aren't you living in Germany, Chris?  I think that it is very easy to criticize others as to not be concerned of terrorism when it isn't affecting your nation as much as others.  In America, there have been many incidents, and they haven't stopped occurring.

North Korean troops deployed to Russia suffering low morale and mass casualties, reports say

NK is doing very bad right now from all accounts. The Russians have mocked them, and we have gotten multiple negative reports of the north koreans other than that. I think that it will take a supreme effort to get them to perform better, and may not be worth the casualties from Kim's perspective.

This deal that kim made with Putin may fall apart in the coming months.



Probably also because the North Koreans never expected the rest of the world to have advanced past WWII level of technology and war tactics.
