The New York Times, in the last paragraph quoted below, slyly blames the withdrawal of American troops. The assumption is that it is up to the United States to expend its blood and treasure to solve the world’s problems. This New York Times article is an advertisement brought to you by the military-industrial complex.
“Suicide Explosion Kills 10, Injures Dozens in Somalia,” by Abdi Latif Dahir, New York Times, July 3, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
NAIROBI, Kenya — At least 10 people were killed and dozens injured in a suicide explosion in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, on Friday evening, the authorities said, the second such attack to rock the city in weeks as the country enters a crucial election season.
A suicide bomber detonated his explosive-laden vest near a cafe close to the well-known Juba Hotel, which is in a strategic area that houses government ministries and the intelligence headquarters. The cafe, frequented by members of the Somali security forces, was crowded with patrons when the attack took place, officials said.
The Somali government blamed the terrorist group Al Shabab, and the group itself took responsibility, saying that it had targeted intelligence, police and military forces. Al Shabab claimed the blast killed at least 15 people and wounded 22 others….
In recent months, Al Shabab has stepped up its attacks as Somalia has been rocked by political infighting, the withdrawal of most American troops and a pause in American drone strikes that had targeted the group and its leaders….

I would say that Al Shabab is winning as far as its war against intelligence goes.

Those deadly disasters that occurred because those jihad-minded Muslims who carried out their suicidal /homicidal jihad attacks had been totally brainwashed and therefore deceived by the enticing Islamic doctrine of the story of a sex filled paradise just and only for them if they -dies in what the imams so very inappropriately and falsely call a “martyrdom operation.”
Many murderous calamities have happened in different places around the world because of those beguiled, fool jihadist Muslims with their firm but blind unquestioning belief in the Islamic paradise /sex story. In addition , the Bible does words against giving “heed to fables..” First Timothy 1:4. [K.J.V.]

Somalia: Muslim murders at least 10 in jihad suicide bombing at Mogadishu cafe
………
On another thread today Muslim apologist “Mr X” claimed that all Jihad in the world had to do with US policy in the Middle East. Is that how he explains *this*?

Muhammadan murderers escape justice. Death is too good for them.

NYT journalism policy is any thing but unbiased. God knows who is driving biased/ prejudiced reporting indulged by NYT. Hopefully NYT will be treated appropriately.
John Lloyd Scharf says
So, do you really call what the New York Times does is journalism? Marxist Socialist Media [MSM] have made the Democratic Party their puppets and it is a racketeer influenced corrupt organization.
Kashyap says
I said journalism because that is NYT is stated profession. Agree with you NYT have become puppets , not sure if it is for personal gains for some.

It seems like when a country reaches a level of wealth the highly educated become stupid. The USA can not fix all of the worlds problems and better learn to take care of its own or it too will fall. That will result in an unacceptable world to live in where your everyday life will be controlled by some bureaucrat.

“It seems like when a country reaches a level of wealth the highly educated become stupid.”
Yes, it certainly seems that way.
I like the use the term “overdeveloped”. This is also happened with Fortune 500 companies that have, over time, became fat, dumb and happy.
Blockbuster, Polaroid, Pan Am, etc., all failed to innovate – and suffered the consequences…
