Yep, the biggest fish and seafood expo is held in Brussels, which I visited when I was still in that business. Lovely place and I still remember being astonished just how Black the whole area around their main train station was. Was like being in a well build Central Africa really. Loved it. But Belgium always had something dodgy about it. That obsession with their French Fries, Waffles, Pedophiles, the EU HQ.
You take one of those bullet trains in Germany which goes at a comfortable 315km/h and takes the same time from Frankfurt to the Belgium border as it does from their border to Brussels, as once it hits that country it has to slow down to a whooping 80km/h, as those guys still got the same railway tracks as they did when they still managed to run the Congo.
I still remember training Jade how to behave when we get attacked and my "surprise commando's" in the car like "Down!" and "Out!", making her fling herself on the floor into the smallest position and holding her head down as well as running out into the opposite direction from where the attack would be coming. One of the most important things I believe is to have instant visual with the source or sources of attack, which is why it is so important to realize that it's gunfire you are hearing and not fireworks. You hear shots, see immediately where it is and what that person is doing and aiming at. Then take off into cover in an erratic zig zag fashion. Does the guy shoot full automatic, meaning does he empty the magazine in one go, which I believe in such a terrorism scenario they most definitely will do, if so, try to provide as small of a target at you can, because when he does see you, he will just spray into your direction, so try to put objects between you and him while you are taking off.
They are mainly using AK's. Am not sure about our Western models, FU would definitely know I'm sure, but an AK has only single shot, even so they come out rather quickly, or full automatic, meaning you press down your finger and the shots just come out. In any case, it is actually not easy hitting an erratically moving target. But keep your eyes on where the attacker is and at what he is pointing his gun at. Especially when it is starting.
This is a nice write up.
In case you don't know what's happening in the middle east.
President Assad ( who is bad ) is a nasty guy who got so nasty his people rebelled and the Rebels ( who are good ) started winning ( Hurrah!).
But then some of the rebels turned a bit nasty and are now called Islamic State ( who are definitely bad!) and some continued to support democracy ( who are still good.)
So the Americans ( who are good ) started bombing Islamic State ( who are bad ) and giving arms to the Syrian Rebels ( who are good ) so they could fight Assad ( who is still bad ) which was good.
By the way, there is a breakaway state in the north run by the Kurds who want to fight IS ( which is a good thing ) but the Turkish authorities think they are bad, so we have to say they are bad whilst secretly thinking they're good and giving them guns to fight IS (which is good) but that is another matter.
Getting back to Syria.
So President Putin ( who is bad, cos he invaded Crimea and the Ukraine and killed lots of folks including that nice Russian man in London with polonium poisoned sushi ) has decided to back Assad ( who is still bad ) by attacking IS ( who are also bad ) which is sort of a good thing?
But Putin ( still bad ) thinks the Syrian Rebels ( who are good ) are also bad, and so he bombs them too, much to the annoyance of the Americans ( who are good ) who are busy backing and arming the rebels ( who are also good).
Now Iran ( who used to be bad, but now they have agreed not to build any nuclear weapons and bomb Israel are now good ) are going to provide ground troops to support Assad ( still bad ) as are the Russians ( bad ) who now have ground troops and aircraft in Syria.
So a Coalition of Assad ( still bad ) Putin ( extra bad ) and the Iranians ( good, but in a bad sort of way ) are going to attack IS ( who are bad ) which is a good thing, but also the Syrian Rebels ( who are good ) which is bad.
Now the British ( obviously good, except that nice Mr Corbyn in the corduroy jacket, who is probably bad ) and the Americans ( also good ) cannot attack Assad ( still bad ) for fear of upsetting Putin ( bad ) and Iran ( good / bad) and now they have to accept that Assad might not be that bad after all compared to IS ( who are super bad).
So Assad ( bad ) is now probably good, being better than IS ( but let’s face it, drinking your own wee is better than IS so no real choice there ) and since Putin and Iran are also fighting IS that may now make them Good. America ( still Good ) will find it hard to arm a group of rebels being attacked by the Russians for fear of upsetting Mr Putin ( now good ) and that nice mad Ayatollah in Iran ( also Good ) and so they may be forced to say that the Rebels are now Bad, or at the very least abandon them to their fate. This will lead most of them to flee to Turkey and on to Europe or join IS ( still the only constantly bad group).
To Sunni Muslims, an attack by Shia Muslims ( Assad and Iran ) backed by Russians will be seen as something of a Holy War, and the ranks of IS will now be seen by the Sunnis as the only Jihadis fighting in the Holy War and hence many Muslims will now see IS as Good ( Doh!.)
Sunni Muslims will also see the lack of action by Britain and America in support of their Sunni rebel brothers as something of a betrayal ( mmm.might have a point.) and hence we will be seen as Bad.
So now we have America ( now bad ) and Britain ( also bad ) providing limited support to Sunni Rebels ( bad ) many of whom are looking to IS ( Good / bad ) for support against Assad ( now good ) who, along with Iran ( also Good) and Putin ( also, now, unbelievably, Good ) are attempting to retake the country Assad used to run before all this started?
So, now you fully understand everything, all your questions are answered!!!!
