President Source: U.S. to Issue Travel Warning on Public Places in Europe

www.foxnews.com

The Obama administration will issue a warning Saturday to U.S. travellers in Europe to avoid places frequented by Westerners based on new intelligence suggesting an attack by Al Qaeda could be imminent, a senior U.S. intelligence official told Fox News.

The travel warning is expected to be announced at 4 p.m., pending Secretary Hillary Clinton's approval, the official said.

The move is expected to have significant implications for European tourism.

I kinda have to chuckle that it says the warning will be vague. It almost sounds like some of the threads here at ats. Do we have someone here working for the administration? Wonder if this is going to be the next false flag attempt, and the other incidences that have happened recently were just a trial run?

Every 'terrorist attack' is a false flag.

This way Europe will be motivated to increase their military spending like the US military and media wants. Ever hear why they say Europe can afford their welfare states, "They don't spend any money on their military so we have to defend them".

Europeans, ready for the CIA to get ya?

America has to defend us??? Not sure if your being serious here or not but the European Union, if united is a far stronger force than the Us is...

Anyways, a terrorist attack is obvious...it always will be until there are no humans left

So, our governments have not issued or increased the terrorist threat but the United States feels the need to spark fear and paranoia into American tourists.

Great, just great. Really, bravo Mr.President....

Indeed, terror is always a false flag. It seems so anyway. The elite sure don't miss an opportunity to destroy more rights an immunities of their own citizens in response.

70% of our military budget is spent in foreign lands. Starting with Europe. We've been there for 60+ years.

Our military hardware served as the deterrence for Soviet aggression throughout the cold war. The problem today is that the same apparatus the US used to defend Europe then, has not been modified or decreased to reflect the Russian posture of today. So it is getting much more expensive to maintain.

The EU will soon have to decide whether they will raise an army capable of replacing what we take with us when we leave(Budget constraints...Gotta love 'em). Most EU nations have minuscule military budgets, with the exception of France and the UK(in comparison to the US they are still minuscule).

Along with that apparatus will come a domestic intelligence apparatus that will be much like our own. And I don't mean to imply this will be good for you, as it will be used against you. This intelligence service will be huge, costly, and will drain your ability to maintain the benefits of European style socialism. And terrorists will be the least of your concerns.

Don't bother with certain crazy comments here my friend!

Some of our friends doesn't understand that us European has a population of near 800.000.000 milions and very strong and updated modern armies.

And don't forget the fact that most of us grown men here have made our conspriptial military service for a couple of years in total!

They think we would go under without their support!

Don't worry about their hybris my friend!

Oh I don't know, maybe it's due to centuries of warfare that made Europe understand that sometimes it is better not to spark large scale arm races - which results in millions of deaths. There is a historic reason for reducing our military spending.

Our government spends every year $130,500,000,000(figures starting in FS 2007) just in foreign military aid. And that number goes up every budgetary year.

Most of it is administrative BS in the NATO countries, which are EU nations.

And correction I meant to say 70% of our foreign aid is military spending in other nations. Please excuse the error. And most of that goes to EU nations.

Of course! we have learned our lesson of being the agressive part in warfare during more than 1000 years - we know there a no winners in wars!

And it's highly unlikely that we ever would be in a war with our friends in America, so why spend the money on offensive equipment?

A united Europe or an European Army would still manage to deal with most enemies beside one billion strong army from China perhaps.

Never forget that Russia is still one big part of Europe!

Granted but lets weigh the facts, the Us spends a silly amount of money on its "image" and not its people, so when the US economy fails, which it will...its people will not stand by its government when EU countries are still stable (ish). Lets for a moment assume that the EU took all its countries military under 1 belt. This would rival the US's military, but we have one distinct advantage over the US and that is that we have nore strategic locations to launch attacks from andmore people ready per year to join the military than the US does. The only way the Us would win is through nukes, but lets be realistic, if the US lunched, you'd be sure that Russia would come pounding in and destroy the US.

Countries united under a common interest is far stronger than a country trying to push its way in this world...all empires fail and the US will too.

They'd be best to slash the spending by about 2/3 and invest that money in its poverty/drug and crime situation that is a very very big part of american culture now.

No disagreement there. I'm waiting for the day I see US bases around the world close. I pray for it. We don't need to run an empire in a world that requires more individual national sovereignty and Liberty. We have become, around the world, antithetical to the very principles we espoused.

Yeah! but that was part of the bretton wood agreement and other agreements made with the US after the WW2 - you got rich using the benefits of having the reserve currency and drive the growth for all of us, while reaping the benefits of the Petro-Dollar-Recycling-System as well.

Everybody was happy with this agreement since most of Europe laid in complete ruins!

The agreement was made to make the US as the main defender of the western world - and this agreement worked very fine until some crazy neocons wrote PNAC and decided to go rouge on the rest of us.

I'm not suggesting you need defending, I think you are peaceful because you aren't meddling in international affairs where you don't belong, unlike a certain country I know.

That is just simply what the US media tells the Americans.

Brettonwoods was the mutually assured destruction doctrine for economics. It tied us all together, and in doing so sealed your fate to ours and vice versa. It is still alive today, though no one calls it that. The Neo-Cons wish was to bring the control and sovereignty destroying policy of Brettonwoods by military force to the Middle East. And yes, you got dragged along for the ride.

This policy has not changed one bit under Obama. And it won't. So expect more CIA created blow back in the near future.

I think that's quite obvious isn't it?

Why does everyone think I personally said that America defends Europe!? That is not what I said!

The US Military and Media are the ones telling Americans that, not me. Before you start flaming me try reading the context a reply was wrote in.

reply to post by Misoir


No one is flaming you. Stop being so sensitive. Start reading more.

You can start by getting your numbers. Numbers don't lie. They tell a story of what is really going on. Now, one can manipulate numbers, but the outcome is always an inevitable exposure of that manipulation. It is the reason the cracks are starting to show in the US, and Global economies. It is the reason we have terrorist attacks for cryin' out loud.

You're aboslutely right! we're all brothers and sisters in this fight for our lives!

Long live the American and European people!

Hope we make it?

reply to post by Chevalerous


I'm certain we will. Or it will eventually be the end of us. These people think they can administer limited wars forever. But one of two things always happens. Either the people rise up, or the escalation of war becomes so great that we wipe ourselves out.

My HOPE is for the people to rise up against out of control statism. Maybe then we'll see less terrorism, less strife, and less war.
