Anyone with half a brain instinctively knew this from the start. It's why they chose the threat in Europe. It was designed to put security in the forefront of people's minds rather than the fact that they are on food stamps and freezing the butts off this fall because they can't afford to heat the place they are living in.
They couldn't have a fake security threat here because it was a toss up if people would look to that weakling in charge and be more reminded what a weakling he is. So, they chose Europe. Ofcourse, everyone yawned because 1. no one cares about Europe and 2. they are more concerned with eating and getting a roof over their head than some boogey man in a cave or Hamburg.
I thought it was very odd how the MSM announce the day before that the travel warning was coming. They made a big deal out of it.
