ready...set...go

saudi arabia is looking to start a new middle easts arms race and match Iran's nuclear weapons power. This could lead to many other countries becoming involved and starting to build nuclear weapons. I believe this is dangerous because for on ewe don't really know how much nuclear power Iran has and if other middl east countries get a hold of nuclear weapons it could become very dangerous. Countries such as Syria which is the home of ISIS were to have nuclear bombs would be extremely dangerous to the rest of the world and this could lead to other countries threatening each other with nuclear weapons. I believe if countries without any form of government get a hold of nuclear weapons they will have no one to stop them from using them. -MA

You Will Never Guess What ISIS is Using to Plan Attacks and Share Intelligence


Something we use everyday, the Internet, is being taken advantage by ISIS in order to recruit members, share intelligence, and plan real world attacks. The dark web, also known as the deep web, is the secret, underlying part of the Internet which cannot be accessed by a normal search engine or browser. ISIS can remain anonymous over the deep web, allowing members to communicate freely. ISIS used this method to plan the Texas attack this month, where gunman Elton Simpson carried out an attack in Garland. ISIS will continue to use the dark web to continue its rein of terror, and is an enemy that needs to be stopped.

The U.S Will Pay a lot of Money for these leaders

Abd al-Rahman Mustafa al-Qaduli; Abu Mohammed al-Adnani; Tarkhan Tayumurazovich Batirashvili and Tariq Bin-al-Tahar Bin al Falih al-'Awni al-Harzi - Rewards for Justice
Four supposed leaders of IS militants
The U.S. is planning on spending up to $20 million dollars for these militants.  Why must we spend so much on these so called "leaders".  Has the U.S. not yet figured out that once a leader is taken down a new leader will arise?  We cannot simply keep taking the leaders down one by one because there are still leaders that will rise up from the regular militants.  This decision is rash and will not wok forever.  The U.S. needs to find a new strategy and quick for that matter.
