Israel has attacked Gaza Flotilla (dead and wounded)

[Peter Presland]

NATO was only ever meant to be a tool for the US to achieve its foreign policy ends. Sure, they would have come to the 'rescue' of Germany if the great Red hoards had invaded, like that was ever going to happen. Since the changes in the Eastern block NATO should have disbanded, as they had actually agreed to do so. NATO was never going to come to any members 'defence' unless it was in the US interest to do so. If this brings the end of NATO this will be the best news I've had in many a moon.

I've got no issue with any of that.

What role, if any, do you think Turkey playing (with Brazil) the go-between for Iran's nuclear material is in all this with both Israel choosing a Turkish ship to attack and the US piss weak response?

There are major deep political forces in play; of that I've no doubt. What the game plans of the protagonists are is less clear; as is a precise delineation of the boundaries between them.

The over-arching objective of the US dominated NWO alliance is another matter though. That has not changed one iota and is summed up clearly enough in the PNAC phrase 'full spectrum dominance'.

I have little doubt that, if those forces judge that an Israel/Turkey conflict, sucking in Iran and Syria with a few nuclear detonations along the way, is what it will take to ensure that dominance, then that is what is likely to happen - as far as possible from the US 'Homeland' too - which is nice for them. Israel as ever, with its clear dominant influence on the US government (but what about it's military?) is something of a wild card though IMHO.

With the confluence of loads of other serious global issues to boot, I just don't see any good outcome to this personally. I'd like to, but right now I don't.
