Turkey provided Israel with intelligence on Syria prior to last week's alleged IAF flyover into the country, Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida claimed on Thursday.
According to the report, the country had a central role in delivering precise information regarding targets in Syria that were to be hit by Israeli planes. Further, the report claimed that the Israeli pilots were given authorization by the Turkish army to use its airspace in order to carry out the operation.
If this true, it throws a whole new level onto the recent Israeli/Syrian airstrikes a few days ago. It would mean that Syria may have to fight two nations instead of just one. It means that Turkey is leaning towards showing the Syrians that they aren't going to allow them a potential nuclear weapon/weapons caravan to Hezbollah, depending on which report you want to believe.
I'd really be curious on if North Korea has indeed sold it's nuclear material and equipment to Syria and Iran as reported in a few places.
If so, North Korea HAS to be held accountable for such actions. I'm quite sure that the US or the UN would have gladly purchased the items from North Korea simply to keep it out of the hands of idiots in power in those two respective countries.
But alas, it seems like the only country willing to stand up for what's right and take action against known threats are Israel and the US on occasion.
Everyone screams about diplomacy. Going through the UN, etc. But when we DO go through the UN, sanctions are ignored, harshly worded letters are ignored. Only after a nation does something extremely serious does the UN even BEGIN to want to do something. They are the most toothless organization on the planet.
