Sixty years havee lapsed since the Baghdad Pact which grouped together Turkey, Iran, Iraq and the West in an alliance against the Soviet Union and the concomitant Communist danger. Nowadays this Middle Eastern architecture has shifted 180 degrees to where Russia, Turkey and Iran are in an ad hoc alliance against Islamic State but which may turn against the West as well. Still, the new alliance might be termed as a marriage of inconvenience where each of the parties has different motives and is acting at cross purposes in partitioning the Syrian bear.
Russia has fulfilled a long-held dream of reaching the warm water of the Mediterranean and is casting itself as the hegemon in the region. The erstwhile unipolar world where the US was the only power in the Middle East has disappeared and the resulting vacuum enabled Russia to spread its influence in many countries in the region and become the arbiter in the simmering conflict in Syria.

Almost as if it were prophesied in the Bible -— but that’s just crazy talk, of course.
Very Biblical. All the Russophiles are saying Russia would never align with Turkey because of the treatment of Orthodox Christians in the past and the Constantinople issue. But the Bible foretells differently! They will eventually come against Israel. Perhaps after Isaiah 17, and Psalm 83 occur
Obama screwed the pooch with first promoting Islamization in Turkey and then trying to coup Gollumn when he realized it was getting out of hand. Of all the things that may doom NATO, losing Turkey to Russia will be the most likely cause.
LOL!
All the funky alliances we’re seeing were built many months ago on the premise that HRC and the globalists would win. Now the re-shuffle is almost amusing.
This is proof that black-box vote tabulation fraud was shut down by O’Keefe’s work. The entire planet bet every farm between them on her.... and lost everything. It also tells me the tabulation code is terrifying certain EU nations who have been counting on it to secure their agenda.

I really hope we can bring Turkey back into our fold. Maybe we organize a competent Military coup this time.
I’ve always read that Turkey is the command & control of Islam... our biggest savior - besides DJT winning - was the rapid deployment of fracking, it changed geopolitics forever because that equipment idled in our oil crash was easily exportable ‘round the world for extraction.
We could eliminate/de-populate Islamic lands - and who would miss them, really? - and feel hardly anything compared to 10 years ago.
