    Why not Call it Prague terror attack, is it because the attacker is called David?

    As the Czech Republic has lenient gun laws, it seems as if the venue was used to set up a false flag scenario. This whole story is too bizarre, as there are so many irregularities in the narrative. If the gunman killed himself, where's his body? The police chief is behaving very cryptically. And again, why must innocent victims die during these events to prove a point? This is disgusting and far reaching (more deep state BS). Czech citizens will not surrender their firearms. And speaking of cryptic, this news reader gives me creepazoid vibes.

    Czech ministers did appel media not to share the gunman’s face, name and footage from the tragedy to not inspire anyone else. The gunman probably did get inspired from another shooting that happened earlier this month in russia. Of course you won’t listen, you will cloutchase even on this. You are disgusting!

    Well I don't see any general criticism of the police, not sure what these guys are talking about, it's quite the opposite, everyone praises them. Key things that happened (and some of them not mentioned in this video to fit the narrative):

    On the 15 dec they found a father and a child killed by a shot in a forrest. Apparently there were no traces what so ever, but police were doing their best and were giving updates on DAILY basis.

    On the massacre day in Prague, the attacker killed his father inthe morning in their house. At that point, police was already aware of what is going on and thanks to the collected informationalso what is about to happen and where. Police forces rushed to the university to evacuate the building where this was supposed to happen (remember the university consists of several very large buldings, so you cannot really evacuate everyone from every building at once). The attacker realized that they are aware of his plans and went to a different building instead. And the rest….is what happened.

    As far as I understand from media reports, it seems that the murderer didn't have anything particularly unusual in his background and a motive unknown. I wonder whatever it was that tormented his mind so much that he embarked on this heinous act of cruelty. Whatever it was, there cannot be any justification for what he has done and he has died shamefully as a murderer. My thoughts go out to the families of the deceased as they struggle to make sense of why this happened.

    So will he be labeled as a terrorist or will it be a mental health issue? Or is the terrorist label only reserved for Muslims?
    Condolences to the families of those that lost their lives and a speedy recovery to the injured. Extremely sad situation.

    It is quite clear that this is a symptom of American gun massacre culture permeating into other regions due to the ever increasing worldwide entrenchment of social media in the modern day. One of the influences may have been an incident in Russia but ultimately the word "influence" is key here and most of it traces back to American shootings and the frequency of them.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
