Wars Wars Wars

A serious situation is brewing across the planet, the likes of which I haven't seen since 1999 when pretty much the same players almost went to war. All that's missing is an Indian/Pakistan crisis and it'll be exactly the same. North and South Korea are still up in arms over the North's sinking of a South Korean battleship. The North, China and various bloggers are calling false flag because the torpedo shown in the attack isn't exactly like specs of what we know North Korea missile to be. There in lies the rub. Our knowledge of North Korea anything is very small. Small deviations shown between the North Korea missile used and that which blueprints we have are not that far off. It would be a major miracle if the missile was exactly like what we know. Isn't it more likely that the missile either was different from lack of knowledge or that it was different on purpose to allow deniability. I would have been shocked had the missile been exactly like the specs as that would have been easily traced back to North Korea. Change a few things and Kim Jong Ill will claim, as he did, that the missile must be a fraud. Some have stated that no subs were found in the area the missile was fired. Well somebody fired it. Maybe North Korea tech is better than we think it is. Maybe they have underwater vehicles we don't know about. The possibilities are endless. I see no upside for anyone starting a war with North Korea as the Military Industrial complex hardly needs another war as they can't keep up with all the ones we have going on now. Bullet shortages, body armor deficiencies and even sub standard helmets have them up to their ears in profit and work. More wars would actually cost them more money than they would make. So if we didn't do it, then the North Koreans must have.
An even more serious situation is brewing in the Mid East with Israel and Turkey on the brink of war. Contrary to the blogosphere, I believe the mainstream media may have actually gotten this one right as well. The Israelis were set up pure and simple. Aggressors showed up waving the white flag and attacked the soldiers the minute they could, all the while crying victim. First, Gaza is not innocent in all this. They fired countless rockets into Israel and the people voted in a terrorist group, meaning they get what they get. I don't care if they're starving. Not my fucking problem. You want food and water? Recognize Israel. Put down the weapons and come to terms with the fact the they are not going anywhere. And if you can't, Israel will destroy you. Second, the rest of the world needs to butt out. This is an internal matter. Israel has a right to defend itself and a blockade is the only thing not allowing WMD's from Iran into the port. Turkey had every chance to go through proper channels but went rouge instead. These "peace" activists were hardly so. Video shows them attacking soldiers with clubs and metal pipes, throwing one overboard. Peace activists surrender because they are non violent. These assholes went right for the jugular. Another vessel the Rachel Corrie (named after a peace activist run over by an Israeli bulldozer protesting Palestinian treatment) is due to arrive soon. Fellow Irish brethren are on board, including a Nobel prize winner. If they attempt to breach the blockade, it's going to be even more bloody as the Israelis have publicly stated that they will treat any further attempts much more severely. Turkey has responded by saying warships may accompany future flotillas, upping the stakes for a major war in the region, one that could go nuclear, much like North Korea.
Hang on. It's going to be a rough ride.
