Maths for Americans

"To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole."

Any action by either the UN or NATO on Syria is a mathematical impossibility, and there is zero legal basis for unilateral action.

Therefore it will not happen. 

Anyone who says otherwise is just blowing smoke and is probably either William Hague, French, or an agent of the Mossad.

NATO has fought precisely one war, and that was in circumvention of the UN Security Council and Russia's veto over attacking Serbia in support of German-backed, SAS and CIA-trained Albanian bandits.

The KLA don't even qualify as terrorists, they have no ideology, they were just bandits, plain and simple.

And the result was the closet the World has come to World War III since 1962, when General Wesley Clark ordered his troops to open firm on the two squads of Russian troops that had secured the airport at Pristîna - it was only because his British Army subordinate, General Sir Mike Jackson, told him to go and stuff his order that the world breathed a sigh of relief.

UN Ambassador Samantha Power considers that to have been a successful model for intervention.....

In 1945, the London Charter of the International Military Tribunal defined three categories of crimes, including crimes against peace. This definition was first used by Finland to prosecute the political leadership in the war-responsibility trials in Finland. 

The principles were later known as the Nuremberg Principles.

In 1950, the Nuremberg Tribunal defined Crimes against Peace, in Principle VI, specifically Principle VI(a), submitted to the United Nations General Assembly, as:

(i) Planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances;

(ii) Participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of any of the acts mentioned under (i).

The (so-called) United Nations Security Council

Arithmetic

America = 1

The Anglo-French = 1 + 1 = 2

Russia + China = 1 + 1 = 2

(15 / 2) + 0.5 = 8

BUT -

HOWEVER -

"The Definition of Aggression also does not cover acts by international organisations. The two key military alliances at the time of the definition's adoption, NATO and the Warsaw Pact, were non-state parties and thus were outside the scope of the definition.

The North Atlantic Council

""NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) is an international alliance that consists of 28 member states from North America and Europe. It was established at the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty on 4 April 1949. 

Article Five of the treaty states that if an armed attack occurs against one of the member states, it should be considered an attack against all members, and other members shall assist the attacked member, with armed forces if necessary.

Of the 28 member countries, two are located in North America (Canada and the United States) and 25 are European countries while Turkey is in Eurasia. 

All members have militias, although Iceland does not have a typical army (it does, however, have a military coast guard and a small unit of soldiers for NATO operations). 

Three of NATO's members are nuclear weapons states: France, the United Kingdom, and the United States. 

NATO has 12 original founding member nation states and through April 2009 it has added 16 more member nations."

There are 28 Member States of NATO. They each get 1 vote on the NATO Council.

The NATO Council can vote on collective military action, up to and including pre-emptive / aggressive war on the basis of a simple majority vote in council.

Arithmetic

28 - 1 = 27

28 / 2 = 14

(28 / 2) + 1 = 15

America 

your head's too big 

because

America 

your belly's too big

and I love you 

I just wish you'd stay where

you is 

in

America 

the land of the Free, they said

and of opportunity 

in a Just and a Truthful way

but where the President

is never black, female or gay

and until that day

you've got nothing to say to me

to help me believe 

in

America...
