The question of Syria's problems resulting in a nuclear holocaust
is real, not imagined. According to the NATO treaty the treaty states that an
attack on a NATO member is regarded as an attack on all NATO members.
"By joining NATO you receive the protection of The Alliance in exchange for
your willing defense in times of need. An attack against one NATO member is an
attack against all of NATO". (http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/North_Atlantic_Treaty_Organization)
This situation is what the Brits would say "A bit of a
sticky wicket". Indeed it is. The scenario of Turkey being attacked by Syria is
a real possibility. Even if Syria doesn't attack Turkey, and Turkey attacks
Syria, do nations ever advertise the fact that they fired the first shot? This
would be ridiculous when you consider that they would lose the protection that
being a member State of NATO provides.
The Russians have a naval base in Tartus:
The site, at the port of Tartus,
is little more than a pier, fuel tanks and some barracks. But it is the last
Russian military base outside the former Soviet Union, and its only
Mediterranean fueling spot, sparing Russia's warships the trip back to their
Black Sea bases through straits in Turkey, a NATO member. (NY Times by ANDREW
E. KRAME June 18, 2012)
This
small naval base could be a real problem for NATO. A stray shot into the base,
or over-zealous Syrian nationalists attacking the base could be the pre-cursor
to World War III.
The
question that most American citizens are asking is this, is Syria so much of a
national security matter that we would commit to a nuclear holocaust? Is
the civil strife in Syria so important that we would commit to destroying the
world?
Let's
get serious. Maybe some conspiracy scenarios are really playing out here. Alex
Jones and others have warned us over and over that the "New World Order" is
hell-bent on reducing the World's population. That is a scary scenario indeed.
Still, when you see the behavior of Hillary Clinton and her war of words on
Russia and China, it makes people like me wonder if Alex Jones and former
Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura could be on to something. Maybe they are
right.
Maybe
this is all ridiculousness. Maybe all of this is the result of an overactive
imagination. Still, I don't think so. I'm
building a bomb shelter. My wife doesn't think this is ridiculous. I'm trying
to tell everyone that reads my articles, and maybe some that don't as a result
of passing this around, something is going on here.
The
threats made by Clinton against Russia and China don't bode well for peace on
this planet. Strutting around the Middle-East pointing fingers at
representatives of other nations is not diplomacy. In fact, nothing Clinton
does smacks of diplomacy.
Speaking
only for myself, Clinton needs to go. Syria is not an American problem, it's a
Syrian problem and most Americans, in my opinion, don't give a sh*t about
Syria. Let that nation work out its own problems without interference by other
nations. This country needs to mind its own business. Syria is none of our
business.
Wee
turn a blind eye as Bahrain suffers under a monarchy that arrests and tortures
people. This is a fact, not speculation.
I have a contact that lived in Bahrain and saw the suffering with his
own eyes. When I invited Finian Cunningham to come on my radio program, he
talked about the atrocities he saw in Bahrain. The next day he was ordered out
of the country. This is our so-called ally. This is a nation that arrests doctors
and medics for treating demonstrators that have been injured by Saudi Arabian
soldiers on the soil of Bahrain to quell the democracy movement and to prop up
the monarchy.
This
is utter nonsense. We accept Bahrain's ruthless crackdown on the democracy
movement, but scream bloody murder when Syria's government tries to restore law
and order. The west is supplying weapons and material to the "rebel's" in
Syria, some of them members of Al Qaeda. Most of what we see on the corporate
media is pure propaganda. Every time someone dies in Syria, the corporate media
screams that is was the government that did it. Most of the time, when the
smoke clears, and the fog of war lifts, we find out that it was the rebels that
did the killing.
With
all of the confusion that surrounds the events in Syria, the corporate media
pretends that it knows the score there, but they don't. This is why China and
Russia don't want NATO to invade a country that they trade with. They have
friendly relations with Syria. If its proved that Al-Assad is killing his own
people, I'm sure that Russia and China will not block a vote to intercede. There is no reason that the US should run
willy-nilly and invade another country.
