There is no one moment that makes a certain outcome inevitable, but this comes closest to the one which may make Henry's prediction come true: that this war will lead to the break-up of NATO.

This attack is not just shocking. It is bound to be extremely embarrassing for NATO, even if the pictures are not particularly striking and even if they claim Arkan's base was near by.

Not quickly, but over the next five years, there could be a strengthening of moves to manage Europe on a European, and rather than on a transatlantic basis. Including without massive air-superiority.

That will be bad for US hegemonism, and better for global governance.
