Whats ur take?

I agree nonetheless there isn't any mention yet of the FBI travelling to Baghdad to interrogate arrested suspect. Irak PM didn't go into details although the planning of attacks in subways while possible do not match the change of strategy since Mumbay and the early stage of the Islamic state, Kenya Mall, BP compound and gunmen rampage where the effort to reduce the number of Muslim victims were noticeable. For Europe, following the type of attack evolution with Merah's and Nemmouche's  the most likely next attack will not be any blind bombing but rather a Mumbay style attack with several gunmen, multiple targets preferably in upscale shopping areas for as much as possible spare Muslim working crowds.

"There were serious threats that were uncovered by Iraqi intelligence, and they were forwarded to the appropriate security authorities of our partners," the senior Iraqi official said in a statement."A full assessment of the veracity of the intelligence and how far the plans have gone into implementation is ongoing. "

What's on going for sure is the investigation as to when exactly has the information been forwarded to the "appropriate security authorities" and what was the immediate response from these authorities and the public informed. 

No it was today at a Press conference in NYC but no details have yet surfaced about the number of suspects involved and arrested and at what stage the scheduled attacks have been foiled.

Islamic State militants captured in Iraq said the group has been planning attacks on subways in Paris and in the U.S., Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi said. The plotters are fighters from France and the U.S. who are in Iraq, he said.

Unclear at this stage are when the authorities of both countries have been informed and if they have been allowed to question the suspects given they hold the citizenship of the targeted countries.

Told you haven't had a response yet but it should get through by tomorrow. As you get close let him know to make sure the inmarsat is fixed as soon as you land.

Not much yet as there seems to be no clear answer to Russia's probe request into mass graves and or anonymous graves found in Donetsk vicinity. Mention of mutilated bodies have been made but not confirmed independently near Ukrainian forces positions held.
So waiting for now.

I wouldn't say that, the heart of the problem here is, for some in Europe, the Kremlin gives in under public opinion pressure and refuse to look elsewhere when its own are under fire. The Kremlin critics are worried of the example it sets when artificial borders suddenly vanished in front of the culture, linguistic and ethnic ties between people. The essential problem they face with their own public opinion is that it is not always the case as shown by the recent Germany reunification, there was a border.... but culture, language and ethnic ties triumphed one evening and that border disappeared. The Donbass history has for centuries a lot more in common with the Rostov Oblast than it has with any other region of today's Ukraine so for how long is it possible to neglect these ties and how to manage the state institutions to allow the Donbass to save, protect and cherish it's identity while sharing the Ukrainian state citizenship. Many are awaiting Kiev's initiative showing how much they care about the future of the Donbass nations.

I don't know... what was worse Stalin's brutality towards the Ukrainian peasants and the great famine or the Don decossackisation, clearly both were decimated.
Now it is difficult to know exactly it has been a long time since I was able to talk to him. Retain that honour the Novocherssack victims belongs more to the tool box of someone trying to heal a tortured nation's passed than it does to the Soviet orthodoxy.

Here we go, won't give you any precise history of the Krug neither the exact borders of the Don Cossacks but it is a useful reminder and best in store to better understand the underlying Russian Federation complexity.

"The adequacy of the Ukrainian defence minister who published this post on his Facebook page is a subject of examination by specialists from a non-military field,” it said.

Actually what crossed my mind is hey Tovarish that's mean Bro... I do understand every bit of the  Ukrainian nation frustration, from the terrible wrong Stalin did to them to the role it plays in the choice so many made during WW 2 how unable they found themselves to be themselves and serve the good alternatively blinded by their desire of revenge followed with renewed humiliation to be on the wrong side of a fight that wasn't theirs.... but I m surprised at what looks to be the inability to see that the Cossacks descent they fight today have so much in common when it comes to be the victims of ideologies and wars they found themselves involved when never their interests were considered.
