It was only a matter of time, ISIS is about to flood Europe with is operatives. Some European intelligence sources already knew a thing or two about it, but ISIS is now clear and upfront about it. They are going to launch their hordes across Europe.

The method: an exodus from Libya in “refugee” boats bound for Italy, from then on to the whole of Europe. Ever since the fall of Gadhafi’s regime, Libya is just one big jungle. Thousands of weapons of all kinds, looted from the Libyan army, are on sale to the highest bidder. And ISIS is flush.

Threat is nigh as it is clear: they are about to penetrate Europe in broad daylight. ISIS operatives equipped with all sorts of weapons will arrive primarily to Italy. Only a few of the so-called refugee vessels departing Libya are actually caught by the Italian Navy. Most arrive on shore unchecked. Available weapons systems in Libya, including shoulder launched anti-aircraft missiles. This poses a major threat against Europe as a whole. Local intelligence services keep pressuring the Italian authorities to better control and oversee the “naval” bridge between Libya and Italy. Nevertheless, the chance they will hermetically seal it off is close to nil. In this state of affairs, Europe is about to be overrun with ISIS combatants, who will be quickly absorbed by the existing ISIS cells across the continent.

When this happens – and ISIS has said as much in their own propaganda video – each and every country in Europe will become expose to immediate terrorist attacks. The Europeans have not only missed the boat – it will literally drown them.

Those shoulder-launched missiles go for anything from $10,000 to twice as much a piece. They pose an enormous threat, as they would enable any attack to be perpetrated virtually without any major preparation and on any venue, including airports and seaports.

Thus far, ISIS has penetrated Europe primarily in order to set up its own cells in the various countries. Now, they are bringing over the hordes, and Europe does not seem at all prepared for this. At first, they did not even catch on the impeding danger. Then came the slow realization. But ISIS has wasted no time. They have their infrastructure ready. ISIS is now mobilizing its forces.

Unless Europe declares an all-out war and launches a joint strike against ISIS, the result are going to be fatal. This, judging by the international anti-ISIS coalition’s pattern of (in)-action. They are only attacking ISIS in Syria from the air. They are yet to fully grasp the danger.

Allowing things to remain as is means the whole of Europe is in for a huge problem. When the US falters, Europe must take control of things. Otherwise things are about to deteriorate very rapidly. The “refugee” boats are laden with highly motivated, well-armed ISIS fighters. They say they are out to hit the “crusaders”. As I said only this week in my op-ed, World War Three is upon us. It will intensify as more and more ISIS fighters and others from other radical Islamist organizations will converge on Europe in their quest to kill anyone.
