  7. #Buffalo residents report an attempted #BlackHand bombing #OTD in 1918. They turn over an explosive device to police. (They are arrested a few days later for placing the #bomb at their own home in order to frighten away some family members.)

  8. ⬆️ @MaybeMyMonkeys

    >> They came pretty close to that last year when #Khalistan #extremists targeted #India's High Commissioner and Consul General of #India to #Toronto

    And let's not trivialize this incident and think this is somebody else's problem, not #Canada's, or #USA's, or #Japan's or the world's.

    It took one assassination by #GavriloPrincip (of #Serbia's #BlackHand) to assassinate Archduke #FranzFerdinand and precipitate #WWI.

  9. ⬆️ Was Trump taken off stage quickly enough?

    Objectively, NO

    The female #SecretService agent was still ducked, but the other one to the right was posing for the #AryanFist shot as if there was no danger.

    Remember, #GavriloPrincip was not alone. #Serbia’s #BlackHand sent a pack of wolves into #Sarajevo to #assassinate Archduke #FranzFerdinand.

    Also #Trump said on #Jan6 "I don’t fucking care that they have weapons, they’re not here to hurt me…Take the fucking mags away"

  10. What a relief that it was a #LoneWolf, not a pack of the #BlackHand kind that counted #GavriloPrincip as one of its members.

    #Slovak authorities charge ‘lone wolf’ with #assassination attempt on the #Slovakian Prime Minister Robert #Fico.

    Fico’s pro-#Russia views have exacerbated deep divisions in #Slovakia, which shares a border with #Ukraine.

  11. ⬆️

    PM #Modi said "#Security and counter-terrorism co-operation has been a key component of our partnership. I don’t think it is appropriate to link a few incidents with diplomatic relations between the two countries.”

    [Remember #GavriloPrincip, a member of #Serbia's #BlackHand, assassinated Archduke #FranzFerdinand, and precipitated #WWI]

    #US said India relationship is “one of the most strategic and consequential of the 21st century”

    India disagrees with US on #Bangladesh and #Myanmar.

    ⬇️

  12. #Israel-#Hamas conflict is escalating and spilling into #Syria. They are not just Israeli strikes but also #Turkish.

    And Türkiye isn't doing it just for giggles but in response to an attack on government facilities in Ankara. Terrorists backed by Syria & #Iran want to expand the conflict using Syrian territory.

    There'll be more bloodshed, but as horrible as that sounds, US should stay out militarily until after #Election2024

    A lone #BlackHand terrorist triggered #WWI.
