So you consult no one (or ignore those you do), launch a war without any clear reason or objective and in the aftermath, you ask "allies" for help? The level of incompetence and stupidity here is embarrassing. This is Israel first, plain and simple.

Similar to U.S. conduct within the UN, the U.S. and its proxy on the Sinai routinely, exclusively, overwhelmingly betray the will of collective, to a degree of monstrous hubris and violence. Re NATO -- which term it should be noted the British press has perversely redefined as Nato, a proper name, abdicating the memory of hemispheric treaty organization -- the intent of the doctrine was the avoidance of war through mutual security guarantees. But according to the distorted history proffered by U.S. Republicans, NATO's function is as a hemispheric cartel which U.S. and U.K. multinational corporations operate internally as a protection racket, demanding fealty from vassals under duress of war. Pathetic politics of terrorism. It's baffling and shameful that the multipolar commons does not offer any advance over this cartel; the globe is operated as franchises under cartel ideology and the intellectual culture has obviated philosophy for public relations (PR).
