Militaries In Turmoil
Syria gets bombed
"Syria was considering its response last night after an Israeli warplane violated Syrian air space and was accused of dropping ammunition inside the country. The incident, near the Turkish border on Wednesday, came just after midnight at a time when tensions are running high between the two neighbours. It prompted Syrian air defence units to open fire on the Israeli jets, Syrian officials said."
Russian bombers intercepted
"The UK's Royal Air Force has launched fighter jets to intercept eight Russian military planes flying in airspace patrolled by Nato, UK officials say.
Four RAF F3 Tornado aircraft were scrambled in response to the Russian action, the UK's defence ministry said.
The Russian planes - long-range bombers - had earlier been followed by Norwegian F16 jets."
Pentagon gets hacked
"Hackers of the Chinese army broke into a Pentagon computer system in June. This follows charges last month by Germany that Chinese hackers tried to break into its government computers. Beijing has strongly denied both claims.
Pentagon experts say they are relatively certain they traced the attack back to the Chinese government computers. The hack attack forced the Pentagon to close the system down for a week."
NATO fleet virtually sunk
"Atlantic Ocean - A lone South African submarine has left some North Atlantic Treaty Organisation commanders with red faces Tuesday as it "sank" all the ships of the Nato Maritime Group engaged in exercises with the SA Navy off the Cape Coast.The S101 - or the SAS Manthatisi - not only evaded detection by a joint Nato and SA Navy search party, consisting of several ships combing the search area with radar and sonar; it also sank all the ships taking part in the fleet."

Israel is itchin to provoke war with Syria, with the fully confident idea that the U.S. will support it as long as it can place the blame on Syria.
The Pentagon wants some other "enemy" to blame for causing massive problems to U.S. internet networks whenever it decides it wants to cause those problems itself.
My two cents.

Yes, Nick, I keep expecting the net to crumble at some point, at least our internet when they decide it's value as a snooping tool is exhausted, and a disruption like that will be handy to blame on the next villain du jur.
