Two members of ISIS committed a dual suicide bombing today in Kabul, Afghanistan. Apparently, the bombings targeted a peaceful protest (the Wikipedia link describes the nature of the protest) that consisted mostly of Shia Hazaras, an ethnic and religious minority group in Afghanistan. They have been discriminated against for centuries, even being the targets of genocide at points. They were targeted by ISIS for 1.) being Shia and not Sunni and 2.) because hundreds of Hazaras have reportedly fought alongside President Bashar al-Assad’s troops in Syria against Sunni groups, including the Islamic State, in recent years.

The Taliban have condemned the attack. No, seriously. We're in fucking Bizarro World.

Not that bizarre, considering the Taliban is an ally of al-Qaeda, and the Afghani branch of Daesh was a bunch of Taliban fighters crossing over. Been fighting since December while the US and NATO have been bombing whichever side stands

ISIS is one of the most bigoted, genocidal, and just flat-out evil hate group/terrorist group in this day and age. They are up there with fucking Hitler and the Nazi party in how vile and deplorable they are. I don't care if this is an A-log, ISIS can go put their genocidal asses in a fire and die.

ISIS can go step on a LEGO

This.
Hopefully one day all of them will suffer and writhe in excruciating pain as explosives rain from the sky and burn them.

It looks like we're getting some help in that plan. And they're not alone either...but what was that about not getting enough out of NATO?

The global coalition to counter ISIS, led by the U.S. and including every NATO ally, is making good progress. But the job is far from complete. It needs all the support it can get, and NATO is stepping up to help.

Last week, NATO leaders met in Poland and agreed on three immediate steps to project stability in North Africa and the Middle East. First, NATO’s advanced Awacs surveillance aircraft will provide valuable information directly to coalition forces.

Second, the alliance is launching Operation Sea Guardian, a new maritime security operation in the Mediterranean, to include counterterrorism and intelligence-sharing. It can also work with the navies and coast guards of the region to strengthen their ability to fight terrorism.

Third, NATO is stepping up support for its partners in the Middle East and North Africa and helping them to better secure their own countries and push back against violent extremism. Through NATO’s long experience in the Balkans and in Afghanistan, the alliance has learned that an essential ingredient for long-term stability is the strength of local forces and institutions.

NATO is already training hundreds of Iraqi officers in Jordan, and this program will now expand into Iraq. The alliance is also deploying a team to Baghdad to provide strategic advice and support to Iraqi security forces. NATO stands ready to help Libya unify its forces to stabilize the country and better fight Islamic State.

NATO has been fighting terrorism for many years. When terrorists struck on 9/11, every NATO ally—from the United Kingdom to Turkey, and from Italy to Norway—stood shoulder to shoulder with America. After the U.S.-led mission to destroy al Qaeda in Afghanistan, NATO stepped in to make sure it never came back. Through NATO, soldiers from more than 50 countries fought the terrorist group, as well as the Taliban. NATO trainers built an Afghan army from almost nothing to the professional force of more than 350,000 that is now responsible for Afghanistan’s security.

As the mission in Afghanistan demonstrated, the NATO alliance enables small and medium-size nations to contribute to the fight against terror. Albania has recently offered to provide trainers to Iraq, but it does not have the necessary legal agreements in place to do so. NATO does. Through NATO, it can get straight down to business. When its contribution is combined with that of the other NATO allies and partners, it becomes part of a formidable team effort.

The fact that Trump honestly tried to pull his "deal maker" con on the US public again wasn't a surprise, but him trying to fuck with NATO is living proof he has no fucking idea how the fuck he would keep us secure. Build the wall, and station all our troops at home (except for the undetermined number of boots on the ground after he "bombs the shit out of them") but what about people here, the ones Daesh are convincing to go to Syria? Start censoring the internet, or expand the NSA? That sounds like the shit that Alex Jones and Fox had been to us for 8 years now with what would happen if Obama won.
Side note: holy fuck this dude.

Shit, I think we aren't going to stop him by saying no.

Pretty much this. Also that he is absolutely ignorant of the way the world works.

Or, as some have speculated, he actually is in Putin's pocket, who would love nothing more than for us to stab our NATO allies in the back.
