There are serious divisions occurring in Europe as well as NATO
Not a good thing.
The original crusaders need to get their loop in a pine!
The time is getting closer when they will be needed again.
It’s a serious thing if Turkey provokes a skirmish with Israel. Is NATO obliged to defend Turkey when it acts as the aggressor?
Furthermore, they can’t have it both ways. Israel, though it has no land forces in Gaza, remains the Occupying Power and has every right to inspect goods in transit to Territory under its control. Turkey should not try to claim independence for Gaza.
The whole thing is turning into farce and President Obama needs to send strong signals to Turkey. Our executive branch may have severe disagreements with Israeli policy but should not allow that to serve as pretext for armed escalation between a NATO ally and our “strong ally”.
