The acceleration of the collapse of US policy in the Middle East is astounding.

I'm sure Erdogan will drive a hard bargain, but with whom?

On an aside here, the Aussies gotta read this as they look to the US for support against Chinese aggression across the entire Pacific Ocean.

I sure hope the reports that the nukes are being moved are correct, but with Obama in charge, I have no confidence.

Erdogan’s a b******. I can’t believe Obama is on vacation. Wonder if Hillary is at the vineyard, too. Wanna bet?

You ain’t seen nothin’ yet. We still have 5 months of this amateur.

We are now in the time period I was talking about in the post below. I expect this sort of thing to ramp up considerably.

Lately the news simply fascinates me.

And yes, I used to be Cuban Leaf.

Another success for the Obama administration. Losing a NATO airbase to the Russians without a shot being fired. At least they waited to occupy Da Nang and Ton Son Nhut until after we left.

Well obama did tell the russians that he would have more “flexibility” after the election.

After all, obama just flew a plane load of cash to the iranians, and now is try to stall the US on pulling our nukes out of turkey.

In case you haven’t already noticed, putin has been schmoozing both iran and turkey a lot lately.

There’s no such thing as coincidence in politics and power plays.

Obama is so busy trying to give Guantanamo to Cuba before he leaves office, will he also have time to give Incirlik to the Russians?

Obama is indeed more flexible after the election.

Bargain? We should shoot down any Russian aircraft that tries to land there. And if the situation escalates, so be it.

Erdogan is an Islamist and an enemy of The West. It would be great to see him realign Turkey with Russia and leave NATO. Just the pretext we need to move in and retake the last part of Europe still under Ottoman control. And revert Constantinople back to its original name, as it should be. They can keep Incerlik, we want Thrace.

That would free us to align with the Kurds, one of the few real allies we have in crapland (aka the Mideast)..
