Israels US Ambassador defends Kerry.
2014-02-11
[Jerusalem Post] More than a week after US Secretary of State John Kerry came under fire for comments allegedly supporting BDS
[Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions],
Israeli envoy to the US Ron Dermer continues damage control to ease tension between US and Israel.
Tough job that, defending the patently indefensible.

#4  See DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [Israel National News] YA'ALON [Israel DM]: "ISRAEL IS A [reluctant] MILITARY SUPERPOWER", as to the struggles + dynamics of the region it is in.

D *** NG IT, THATS STRANGE, SO ALMOST IS OBAMA NEW BFF + OWG CO-SUPERPOWER IRAN!?

versus

* WORLD MILITARY FORUM > US PACAF CHIEF IN JAPAN SAYS US WILL NOT DIRECTLY OR IMMEDIATELY INTERVENE IN ANY MILITARY CONFLICT BETWEEN CHINA + JAPAN OVER DISPUTED DIAOYU/SENKAKU ISLANDS, CHINA PLA + JAPAN SDF LEFT TO THEIR OWN FORCES + GOVERNMENT DECISIONS TO DECIDE THE ISSUE.

IOW, IIUC US PACAF = PACOM = USDOD CANNOT CONFIRM IT WILL OR IT WON'T MILITARILY INTERVENE UNDER THE US-JAPAN SECURITY TREATY UNTIL SUCH TIME THE BAMMER = NATIONAL COMMAND AUTHORITY FORMALLY GIVES THE ORDER.

When-n-Iff saidsame formal order to intervene by the POTUS as CIC is made.

At minima, prolly safe to say ISRAEL = JAPAN = PHIL, ETAL. = may be forced to fight on their own widout US military support for an unknown period of time, WHICH IN WAR COULD ULTIMATELY PROVE DECISIVE TO ONE SIDE.

Sub-IOW, Bammer HyperCorrectness-Deniability may kill Japan + any other US overseas ally in the end.

* FYI DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [IDRW.org] INDA'S FEARS OVER WEST ASIA LEAD IT TO BECOME A GREAT POWER.

IMO read, another OWG Co-Superpower as India is already a member of the so-called "Nuclear Club".

#2  I thought BDS was Bush Derangement Syndrome. Perhaps Kerry has not been cured?
