I didn’t get it. What happened to Taylor Swift??

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 46 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's probably about the Vienna concert that was canceled due to a terrorist threat.

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 19 points 2 months ago

It wasn't just a threat, there was a specific plan and prepared weapons

She cancelled some concerts in Vienna recently following arrests and intel about ‘ISIS inspired’ threats.

I mean, I'm absolutely positive the list on the left are much harder targets to strike. The Olympics in a major city in a country that's already used to dealing with ISIS-like terrorists is going to go over worse than a lead balloon, America is far away and overpoliced as is, and Israel already loves shooting Muslims for no reason...

Taylor Swift is the obvious choice.

I don't think I remember that episode of Archer

this is not surprising at all, since daesh is a puppet of the imperialists. they were created by the us and its saudi and kuwaiti allies from freed iraqi criminals after the 2003 war. they were used as "moderate rebels" in the 2011 libya war and are known to get healthcare, weapons and training in turkey, a nato member. they always attack us enemies, but almost never us allies. israel in particular is known for having a quite positive relationship with them, as they even apologized to the zionist entity for accidentally attacking them. the trump administration also murdered general soleimani who was instrumental in fighting against daesh and biden is continuing this pattern.

Or as a small German university would say: https://isis.tu-berlin.de/?lang=en

Isis once attacked Israel and later apologized.
