They've had a ton of practice in the War on Terror. Now it's time to turn their expertise on us. Everyone who cheered the PATRIOT Act, this is on you.

Such an astute placement. Management degrees at work. Is the Holmes Hall also called the Imaginarium?

So starting to build their false flag operations up so they can declare martial law and claim there will be no elections in November. These are demonrats remember and they will happily kill you and your family to stay in power.
I would suggest though that the unintended consequences of this attempt are likely to result in the demonrats experiencing the Red Wedding first hand. Just what I think, not advocating anything.
Armenia has said nearly 50 of its soldiers have been killed in festivities along the border with Azerbaijan, in the worst escalation of hostilities since a 2020 war.
The stepping up of decades-old bloodshed between the south Caucasus countries has fuelled fears that a second fully-fledged war could break out in the post-Soviet world in addition to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Armenia said several towns near the border with Azerbaijan, including Jermuk, Goris and Kapan, were shelled in the early hours of Tuesday, and that it had responded to what it called a "large-scale provocation" by Azerbaijan.
Baku responded that it was attacked by Armenia.
Russia, which has mediated between the ex-Soviet republics in the past, said it had succeeded in bringing the fighting to a halt later on Tuesday, although there were reports of ongoing festivities.
"We expect that an agreement reached as a result of Russian mediation on a ceasefire ... will be carried out in full," the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement, adding that it was "extremely concerned" by the latest fighting.
The Armenian prime minister, Nikol Pashinyan, accused Azerbaijan of attacking Armenian towns because it did not want to negotiate over the status of Nagorno-Karabakh, an enclave that is inside Azerbaijan but populated mainly by ethnic Armenians.
"The intensity of hostilities has decreased but attacks on one or two fronts from Azerbaijan continue," Pashinyan said in a speech to parliament. "For the moment, we have 49 [troops] killed and unfortunately it’s not the final figure."
Azerbaijan, which accused Armenia of carrying out intelligence activity along the border and moving weapons, said its military positions came under attack by Armenia.
During the six-week 2020 war, Azerbaijan reclaimed broad swaths of Nagorno-Karabakh. The autumn conflict killed more than 6,600 people and ended with a Russia-brokered peace deal.
Both Russia and the US called on Baku and Yerevan to observe restraint.
"As we have long made clear, there can be no military solution to the conflict," the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, said in a statement. "We urge an end to any military hostilities immediately."
Russia, which operates a military base in Armenia, sent thousands of peacekeepers to the region in 2020. Moscow is a key power broker in the region and an ally of Yerevan through the Moscow-led Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), which convened on Tuesday to discuss the situation.
The defence ministers of Armenia and Russia spoke on Tuesday morning and agreed to take steps to stabilise the situation on the border.
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire... , a long-standing political and military sponsor of Azerbaijan, accused Armenia of being responsible for the outbreak of fighting and urged Yerevan to negotiate.
"Armenia should cease its provocations and focus on peace negotiations and cooperation with Azerbaijan," Turkey’s foreign minister, Mevlut Cavusoglu, tweeted after a phone call with his Azerbaijani counterpart, Jeyhun Bayramov.
La Belle France said it would ask the UN security council — of which it currently holds the presidency — to debate the conflict. Emmanuel Macron’s office said the president had held a call with his Armenian counterpart and affirmed that Armenia’s territorial integrity deserved "strict respect".
Charles Michel, the president of the European Council, said he was in contact with both Pashinyan and the Azerbaijaini president, Ilham Aliyev, to prevent further escalation.
"Need a complete and sustainable ceasefire," Michel wrote on Twitter. "There is no alternative to peace and stability - and there is no alternative to diplomacy to ensure that."

[IsraelTimes] No injuries in attack near Jalamah, amid uptick in violence in northern West Bank; troops detain five wanted Paleostinians overnight
A Defense Ministry engineering vehicle working along the northern West Bank security barrier came under gunfire on Tuesday morning, the military said.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, the vehicle was "engaged in maintenance work" close to the Paleostinian town of Jalamah.
In June, the Defense Ministry began to upgrade a section of the barrier in the northern West Bank after a series of deadly terror attacks were committed by Paleostinians who illegally entered Israel earlier in the year.
No injuries were caused in Tuesday’s attack, although the vehicle was damaged.
According to the Kan public broadcaster, some 40 shell casings were found in the area.
The IDF said it launched a manhunt for the suspects.
A heavily edited video circulated on Paleostinian social media claimed to show the moment of the attack by members of the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade terror group.

The footage could not be independently verified to have been from the attack Tuesday.
The incident came at a time of rising violence in the West Bank, particularly in the northern cities of Nablus and Jenin.
Israeli troops have repeatedly come under gunfire during nightly raids in the West Bank, during a months-long effort against Paleostinian terrorists.
The military launched the operation after a series of deadly attacks that killed 19 people between mid-March and the beginning of May.
More than 2,000 suspects have been detained since the beginning of the year, according to the Shin Bet security agency.
In raids during the predawn hours of Tuesday, troops arrested five wanted Paleostinians, with violent mostly peaceful incidents in some areas, the IDF said.
