Support NeoGAF

[Ape Gone Insane]

I wonder how many of the posts here are people not knowing the terrorist is a right wing nut planning to hit Jewish and Islamic targets.

Posts on here are fine. Went on Daily Mail and Stormfront as I sometimes do out of some sort of morbid curiosity. On DM, it's way down the page with 76 comments and on Stormfront, it's like a thread with a handful of posts arguing about it being some secret government agenda.

This has nothing to do with Euro 2016, why are they using it as a headline, to make it a bigger story no doubt.

"The SBU was able to prevent fifteen terrorist acts that were planned in France on the eve of and during the European Championship football," said Vasyl Grytsak, the head of the Ukrainian security services on Monday.

GAF doesn't let me increase the font but please let me know if you have trouble reading it.

As much as I'm defending Ukraine, the question here is if you should believe SBU. It's not out of the question that they are making it sound as bigger achievement than it actually was. But at the same time it does look like they got the guy with history that backs up possibility of this theory...

After you let me know that you know how time works, something happening at similar times doesn't make them related.

Christ's sake, than goodness they got him. I'm going to be at Euro 2016, so that's worrying I hope nothing happens.

Well, if the "government" of eastern Ukraine wanted to legitimize themselves, they sure blew it now by supplying terrorists.

NATO intervention please, let's kick the Russians out of Ukraine while there's still a Ukraine left to defend.

He was arrested with someone else, chances are he isn't alone, the more excess weapons he has the more likely he is to be arrested.

What scares me is whether this is just a smoke screen and that the real terrorists some how are still out there just waiting to strike.

Let's look at it this way. Even if the SBU is overhyping the overall situation. It is still someone trying to smuggle Explosives and excessive amounts of ammunition and guns. It was intended for something that isn't good.
So thankfully he was caught and any potential attacks thwarted using his munitions. If anything it is a good reminder that cannot let our guard down and need to stay vigilant.

Another great reminder that Eastern Ukraine needs to be liberated and brought back into the rightful control of Ukraine as well.

SBU published audio from wiretaps of Gregoire Moutaux (he speaks in English).

What kind of secret bureau publishes their own spying data, seriously ?

If it only pertains to the operation which lead to the arrest of this suspect, why wouldn't they?

Listening right now.
That's a French guy, no mistaking, no faking that.
Thank god that sick fuck was arrested.

Holy fuck it's painful to hear, I fucking hate that accent in English.

Ukraine kind of has to do it. It became widespread as Ukraine was fighting Russian propaganda. When you publish the audio, people in it are less likely to deny that something happened. But still not good enough to convince Russian "media" anything...

 

[nilbog21]

It's surreal listening to that audio. Just sounds like your typical French young gentleman. Sounds very calm and reasonable. I think his neighbor was quoted as saying, "he was a very nice young man, and well educated when you spoke to him"... Was he just completely delusional? Underlying mental illness? Like what is going on that people feel the need to do this type of stuff as protest?

I'm guessing it was the Russian dude in the car who ratted him out. Much more to gain that way. Chump

Ukraine's Out of Control Arms Bazaar

This illustrates the point that I made earlier that it is relatively easy to obtain the type of weapons favored by terrorists in the current chaos that is Ukraine.

And before anyone can jump on the reporter for being a pro-Kremlin mouthpiece, Anna Nemtsova has been highly critical of the West's seeming disinterest in the Russian proxy war in eastern Ukraine.

I don't think anyone is disagreeing with this. But you have to keep in mind that those weapons are difficult to get out of Ukraine. You need to pass 2 border checkpoints (Ukraine and Poland for example).
