BANGKOK, Oct 18 (TNA) – The Thai embassies in Paris and Brussels have issued a warning to Thai citizens to closely monitor the situation and exercise caution when in areas with large gatherings, following an elevated security threat level.

 

The Thai embassy in Paris, France, issued a Facebook announcement on October 17 urging Thai citizens in France to be extra vigilant while traveling and commuting due to continuous warnings from the French authorities regarding bomb threats over the weekend. French authorities recently raised their security alert to the highest level.

Are the indigenous peoples of France and Belgium attacking Thai people?  What could possibly cause these warnings? 

[Sigmund]

Europe has for long opened it's doors to many unwanted people fleeing their nations on various motivations. Terrorists or criminals sneak into such groups that are obivously not all baddies and set up shop in western europe. The western countries are ruled by Bruxelles and thus cannot expel the unwanted very easyly. Europe is dooming itself in letting such people remain within it's borders. Take the quality migrants and refugees who are educated by all means.  But send the trouble makers or those living off the system back home or pay another country to take them.

Drug wars in France for instance. You have criminals using assault rifles to shoot in broad daylight aiming their competition and just sprey bullets in mad frenzy and kill bystanders who have nothing to do with it. So yes, France is highly dangerous for anybody now. Not to mention the attacks on tourists to rob them in touristic spots of Paris or Marseille.

How would they get military grade weapons though?  It's not as if a certain country just laid 85 billion dollars worth of them on the ground, jumped in their planes, and flew away, is it?

The French Govt. has generally advised Embassies etc to issue travel warnings to their citizens.

The significance is that France has had to acknowledge increasingly dangerous internal public safety concerns.

Here is a link to a reputable french paper, that does date back, but will give you an idea of what is being talked about here. I assume you are familiar with Google Translate. Take the facts reported and multiply by 2 as since the article was posted, is has got worse. You are welcome.

Drug money can buy all they want. If you want a kalchnikov or any weapon you go to the Dark web , wherever you live. Marseille has killings practically every day . This applies to most of Europe and the US .

It's fact, Belgium (and the world) has the same problem. 

 

2023 Brussels shooting was an Islamist terrorist attack targeted at Swedish nationals carried out by 45-year-old Tunisian Abdesalem Lassoued on 16 October in Brussels, Belgium.

The same ones that caused the countries themselves to elevate their warning levels.

Why not just e honest - announce 'Beware of ALL muslims in europe'. That would be far more accurate
