The Saker \u2013 thesaker.is Nov 22, 2022<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Something quite amazing has just happened.\u00a0 Following the terrorist attack in Ankara which killed 34 people and injured another 125<\/a>, Turkish authorities first declared that they will not accept US condolences<\/a>.\u00a0 Then the Turks launched a military operation against \u201cKurdish terrorists in northern Syria<\/a>\u201c.\u00a0 Turkey then claimed to have neutralized 184 terrorists<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is not mentioned in those articles is that the target of the Turkish strike was the US-run center for the training and education of PKK militants in Rojava.\u00a0 There are rumors that the Turks gave the US enough warning time to evacuate most of its personnel.<\/p>\n

Does that sound familiar?<\/p>\n

If it does, it is because it is very similar to what the Iranians did when they hit US bases in Iraq following the murder of General Solemani in a US drone strike.<\/p>\n

If the above is true, and rumors are very much \u201cif\u201d and cannot be considered as proven fact, then that means that a NATO member state (Turkey) just attacked a US base and, like Iran, got away with it: the \u201cThe Finest Fighting Force in the History of the World\u201d just got whacked hard and humiliated for a second time and could do absolutely nothing to defend itself or even save face.<\/p>\n

How big a slap in the face did Uncle Shmuel get this time?\u00a0 According to the Turkish defense minister, Hulusi Akar<\/a>,<\/p>\n

Terrorists\u2019 <\/em>shelters, bunkers, caves, tunnels, and warehouses<\/em><\/strong> were successfully destroyed,\u201d<\/em> Akar said, adding that \u201cthe so-called <\/em>headquarters<\/em><\/strong> of the terrorist organization were also hit and destroyed.\u201d <\/em>Overall, the Defense Ministry claimed that the strikes hit nearly 90 targets<\/strong>, which it said were connected to the Kurdistan Workers\u2019 Party (PKK) and the Kurdish People\u2019s Defense Units (YPG).<\/p>\n

Even allowing for some \u201cpatriotic exaggeration\u201d, it is pretty clear that Ergodan\u2019s revenge strike was both quite substantial and, apparently, rather effective.<\/p>\n

So, what do we have here?\u00a0 A NATO member state all but accused the US of a major terrorist attack against its capital city, and then that NATO member state openly attacked a US-run facility<\/strong> (let\u2019s not call it a base, that would be inaccurate).<\/p>\n

Is Erdogan\u2019s claim even credible?\u00a0 Absolutely!\u00a0 Not only has the US already attempted to overthrow and kill Erdogan, who was saved in extremis<\/em> by Russian special forces (same with Ianukovich), but we also know that the US overthrew General de Gaulle in 1968-1969 and that NATO covert forces were used to stage false flag attacks against NATO allies (especially Italy) in the so-called GLADIO operation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NATO is not a defensive alliance \u2013 it never was \u2013\u00a0 but it is a tool of US colonial domination.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was always true, hence the famous words spoken\u00a0 in the now faraway 1950s when the first NATO Secretary General, British General Hasting Ismay, bluntly admitted that real the purpose of NATO was to keep the \u201cRussians out, Americans in, Germans down<\/strong>\u201c.\u00a0 Let\u2019s take these elements one by one, starting with the last one:<\/p>\n
