Sheik Yerbouti posted:Berlingoon here. Kinda doesn't seem like the typical ISIS modus operandi if the guy just runs away and lets himself be caught by the police. There's the possibility that he crashed into something causing the other guy to die and got injured himself and that screwed up the plans, then there's also the possibility that he was another suicidal nutcase inspired by earlier attacks but who hadn't thought things through. But those are usually lone wolves. It's also possible that he carjacked the truck and the dead guy in the cabin is an innocent victim, I mean you don't just rent a semi like the Bastille Day attacker did?? e: so the carjacking seems likely? in which case this took more planning than just hiring a lorry Nenonen fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Dec 19, 2016 |

I hope the guy who stalked him from the Christmas market and called cops to catch him gets awarded a medal. Made of poo poo.

System Metternich posted:Welp, apparently it was a Tunisian and they're looking for him throughout the country now. Or maybe just an honest mistake, things didn't go as planned and he panicked. Maybe he carried papers in case police came asking questions while he was looking for a Polish truck to hijack. He didn't expect to get away alive, but then after the crash lost his nerve and escaped, leaving some belongings to the truck. That would seem like a more natural explanation. Or maybe the truck hit a Tunisian asylum seeker who was selling christmas trees and by some massive fluke his wallet flew through the broken windshield and slipped under the driver's seat... But yeah, theories are theories, let's hope the person is found soon whoever he really is.

Flayer posted:I would suppose then that the Polish driver was being held hostage and forced to drive to the location and once he got there and realised the intent tried to fight back and was unfortunately killed. Driving a big truck like that requires a certain level of skill which the assailant may not have had. The Polish man wasn't alive during the attack. He was found shot in the passenger seat, I don't know if you have ever tried to move a dead 120kg trucker body around in a truck cabin but I can tell you it ain't easy. Someone would surely have noticed if it had happened near the market. We also don't know when the police found the papers. All we know is that they released the information today. Here's some factors to consider: - looking through a cramped truck cabin for evidence is a slow job because only one man will fit in from either side, and any fiber or stain could be evidence and after a crash there'd also be lots of debris to sort through - it isn't like searching for lost car keys under your sofa - once the papers were found the police still had to check if the name and photo are authentic (there's news that he was using "at least two" false identities) - once the name was determined there's still the possibility that the police didn't want to immediately release it to the public to not alert the terrorist

frankenfreak posted:the precedent is painter -> chancellor though Just think... Hitler came from Austria, literally East Realm, then became the chancellor of the (western) Germany. Merkel came from literally East Germany, then became the chancellor of the (western) Germany. Hitler had one ball, Merkel has none. There are anecdotes about both of them and dogs. Coincidence??? Anyway, welcome to the Social Democratic club! At the current trend all of Europe will be SD led in a year or two. Except for UK which will go even deeper down the Tory rabbit hole...

There's different philosophies at work. Some believe that Russia stomping its neighbours like a bull in a chinastore brings further instability and insecurity to the rest of Europe, so intervening in the form of a threat of sanctions and propping up the underdog would reduce the risk of things going bad. The opposing view is that it's none of our business or something that can be helped with, better isolate instead of getting our nose deep into people's businesses and possibly escalating things by our presence.

spankmeister posted:Ossi armee had those goofy helmets lol The funny thing is that it was designed by Nazis during WW2 to replace the more expensive Stahlhelm, but apparently Hitler as a WW1 veteran hated it because it didn't wasn't similar enough to the old Stahlhelm and also had a bit similar shape with the Soviet helmet. But for NVA it was just perfect because of those things.
