Reality is even scarier. The people didn't sign for the EU, the politicians do.Was very surprised to hear the Belgian Ambassador speak today. The internet keeps telling me such countries gave their sovereignty to the EU superstate

There will be a huge backlash against the EU. They are literally out of control and see themselves above every state.
Hence the popularity of populist movements who are anti EU.
NEO. In reality they are run by a bunch of mollusks, they only impress the local administration. Like NATO (No Action Talk Only)
What has Brussels done exactly to deserve this?
Ted Cruz's plan to fight ISIS:
Cruz: 'patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods'
In a new statement on the Brussels attacks, Republican hopeful Ted Cruz has called for a law enforcement focus on “Muslim neighborhoods”.
“We need to empower law enforcement to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized, Cruz said in a statement posted to Facebook.
“We need to immediately halt the flow of refugees from countries with a significant al Qaida or ISIS presence,” Cruz said:
We need to empower law enforcement to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized.
We need to secure the southern border to prevent terrorist infiltration.
And we need to execute a coherent campaign to utterly destroy ISIS.
The days of the United States voluntarily surrendering to the enemy to show how progressive and enlightened we can be are at an end. Our country is at stake.

Cruz just trying to claw away at support for Trump.
If Trump had said Muslim neighborhoods should be patrolled by LE, there would be an uproar in the media and left wing.
Hasn't Trump been saying they need to secure the border with Mexico and been attacked over it?
LOL corporate globalist media
That is because Trump is literally HitlerYes lol and he was called a racist
That is because Trump is literally Hitler
That is the narrative being pushed on social media,even by those that cannot vote

You mean the west is freaking out because what they have been doing to "nonWestern" countries is now being done to them?The situation is fairly simple.
Anger begats anger.
The west collectively has been interfering in the Middle East for so long now is it any wonder that things happen in Western countries or to Westerners.
Yeah, this Pope fella has blown me away since he was put in the position.That quote from Pope Francis is such a bold and honest statement. But you are right North, mainstream media will never make this statement, instead continue to write about pro Christianity
I actually didn't know the Pope made that remark.
You mean the west is freaking out because what they have been doing to "nonWestern" countries is now being done to them?
On the Christian Easter Thursday, Pope Francis said the following: “Three days ago, an act of war and destruction in a city of Europe, made by people who do not want to live in peace.” he continued. “But behind that act, as behind Judas, there were other people. Behind Judas there were those who gave him the money for Jesus to be delivered. Behind this act there are the arms producers and traffickers who want blood and not peace, war and not brotherhood. Two gestures: Jesus washed the feet and Judas sold Jesus for money; all of us together, with different religions, different cultures but sons of the same father, brothers, and them, buying arms to destroy.”
I am not religious nor do I have any religious affiliations and if the truth be told, I am very wary of what religious types say but in this case, I have nothing but admiration and the deepest respect for Pope Francis.
It is astonishing really that the Andrew Bolts and Tony Abbotts of this world who go around flying the pro-Christian flag have absolutely nothing to say about what The Pope had to say. It's bewildering that the newspapers and the news bulletins on teli did not make what The Pope said the headline story.
Is it that we all know what is actually going on but we are all to "embarrassed" to admit it? Is it that to utter such things automatically disqualifies one from the "real" world because they are branded as nincompoop "conspiracy theorists"? Far better to be prejudiced against a race or religion than to seek the truth as to why this is actually happening and even when the numero uno of the Catholic Church tells us the truth, those who vociferously condemn Islam as the root cause of what is going on don't stop and reflect on his words, they just ignore him!
The "mainstream" media is hush hush about arms dealers and manufacturers because some of their "best friends" are part of that scene, in fact, it would be interesting to know, just what type of financial links there are between certain media organisations and arm manufacturers. In todays world, newspapers/media organisations aren't JUST publishing/media organisations, they have their fingers in all sorts of pies.
I worked in the mining industry in the 1980's and in nearly every single mining lease that came across my desk, the name News Ltd. appeared. Not a big stake in any area mind you, anywhere between 5% and 15% but here they were nevertheless. I wonder if that has any influence on how issues over land use, climate change, environmental issue concerning miming, I wonder if the reporting of such issues are tainted at all considering the vested interests of a media organisation?
good shout
ask Pope Francis
The situation is fairly simple.Anger begats anger.

Some things about Belgium...
Students of Belgian origin generally score high to very high on international tests, however there is a big gap between them and students who have a foreign background:
- 28% leaves highschool without a degree
- at 17 years old, 68% of them have at least once not gone through to the next year
There seems to be a structural problem showing that when you come from an impoverished background (read: areas such as Molenbeek), you will not do better than your parents (ethnostratification).
Of those who end up getting a job, 50% are in lowly paid and insecure positions.
Belgium has the highest % of youngsters who have gone to fight in Syria - 46 per 1 million Belgians. France has 18, Netherlands 15, Germany 8 and Italy 2.
A Belgian professor studied their motivations and he concluded that religion was not their biggest motivation. He said they're no radical Muslims but Islamised radicals. In a number of cases their religious radicalisation didn't take months or years, but just weeks. These guys know more about carjackings than the Koran.
It's clear that migrants in Belgium live separately from the rest. There is structural segregation and factual apartheid.
Belgium has a history of separation, such as those between workers and the upper class (no country has more strikes than Belgium), between catholics and freethinkers (a gap that has been closed although there is still the divide between catholic, for the white Belgians, and state schools, for the migrant children), and between Dutch and French speakers (the most significant one today).
Belgium has spent and still spends so much money, time and energy on the language conflict that it has forgotten to deal with more recent issues, such as its impoverished areas in big cities. Resources go towards continuous reformations of the state rather than building a better country. Belgium has currently 6 parliaments, 6 governments, 47 ministers... while you can't drive straight for 2 hours before ending up in a neighbouring country.

So presumably the solution to European terrorism is greater wealth redistribution measures?That's a very accurate and fair assessment.
