This is a big deal. 800,000 travelers affected, including the Eurostar from London.

Always travel the day before you need to be there.

Train lines are a huge vulnerability. I expect there will be a lot of change to rail security as a result of this.

The Russians have the sads because their athletes trained for 20 years and now nobody will ever see them. :( :(

Does athletes are science experiments, better suited for Peter Thiel's chemgames.

It looks like the people coming from London and we'll just be delayed by 90 minutes or so, does the non high speed rail lines are still available.

Sacre bleu!

Sacré bleu is considered a dated French expression.
While it was once a popular way to express surprise or shock, it's no longer commonly used in everyday conversation. It's more often associated with stereotypical French characters in older movies or literature, like 'zounds!' in English.

This is how Europe gets punked around by Russia when the U.S. doesn't intervene.

You mean their athletes "doped" for twenty (plus) years, not "trained" R6.
Russia's Olympiads are notorious for failing drug tests and getting kicked out of the games.

They need to stop issuing Schengen visas to all Russians. Stop being so fucking soft on them. The country needs to be designated as a terrorist state.

According to the Israeli Foreign Minister, Iran, not Russia, is said to be behind attacks on the Games, though not specifically targeted at the rail network.

Sexy gay Prime Minister Gabriel Atal says it's a coordinated and planned attack.

It’s not Russians it’s the Rabid Left. The French equivalent of Queers for Palestine.

Yes because if the U.S. had provided security for French rail lines, this wouldn’t have happened.
Not at all an insane observation.

So this Russian chef is in the “rabid left,” defacto?
