Turkey: Future Gaza Aid Ships Will Have Military EscortsThe attacked ship was Turkish in origin and at least two of the slain aid workers were Turkish citizens. Turkey says future aid ships will be dispatched with a military escort so as to prevent future Israeli attacks.http://news.antiwar.com/2010/05/31/turk ... y-escorts/Israel Attacks Gaza Aid Ships, Killing At Least 19Metal sticks notwithstanding, the aid flotilla was violating no international laws in trying to deliver medicine and food to civilian victims of an Israeli blockade. Israel on the other hand was most assuredly violating international law in attacking an unarmed aid ship on the open sea.http://news.antiwar.com/2010/05/31/isra ... -least-19/
This is fantastic news. The IDF will attack the Turkish Navy and the Turks will sink their own boats.
I don't believe the Israelis will take such a provocation. It seems to me that all out war between Israel and Turkey is not as unrealistic as we once thought.
Geopolitical shifts are well and truly in progress as we speak.
This is going to be a nightmare for the US. But I believe the US and NATO will betray Turkey should things escalate even more.
It would be good to see the IAF pulverize the TN escorts.
You are both sick in the head. You actually want war?
Well why odn't you join Israel when they attack Turkish ships so Turkey has another excuse to attack you. Then the Cyprus Problem will be solved in about 30 minutes and 10 seconds.
It all boils down to this. Deep down, most patriotic Cypriots would wish that Cyprus has the "don't fuck with me" attitude that Israel has. It sure as hell beats being "the good guy" in the region who is always destined to come last.
And yes, if it came to the crunch, I would choose Israel over Turkey 100 times over. These 2 nations are destined to clash, and I for one, would love it if Israel blew you bastards to smitherines, or contributes to the carving up of Turkey into little tiny nation states.
Turkey is far worse than Israel, and your provocative "mercy dash" was nothing of the sort. Turkey has a long history of stirring up trouble. This time, it is against a nation that is not defenceless or weak. Good luck.
