However Turkey is also moving closer to Iran and Iran’s main backer is Russia.

Russia is showing no signs of giving up on Iran and Assad for the sake of mending relations with Turkey (or Israel). Infact the Sunni Islamist proxies supported by Turkey (and to some extent Israel... something many here prefer to ignore) and the Sunni Arab states, are wiped out by the Russian-Syrian-Iranian forces (good riddance!).

So far Israel and Turkey have played along with Saudi-Barbaria, Qatar and Co. in aiding the Sunni Islamist against Iranian/Shia power in the region but Israel and Turkey probably have realized by now that there is no way of toppling Assad.

If I were an optimist, I’d see a “Pax Russica” forming gradually. Russia as the new Superpower involved in the Middle East would oversee a truce/balance (despite inevitable tensions) between Turkey, Iran (+ Iraq, Syria, Lebanon), the Kurdish region and Israel.

If all those regional forces involved would play along, it would be a quite good scenario.

The world enemy is Wahhabi/Salafist Sunni Islam - created, nourished and supported by Saudi-Barbaria, Qatar and Co.

The slowly forming Russian-Iranian-Turkish(-Israeli) balance would be a devastating blow to Saudi-Barbaria and Co.

However every one of the powers involved in the region could throw a monkey-wrench in it - for one reason or another. They of course mistrust each other, none are “good” and there is probably a lot of backroom dealing, double-crossing and trachery going on.

Very true! They fund the building of Mosques and Madrasas around the world and train the radical Imams. Unfortunately, Uncle Sam turns a blind eye to their deprivations due to the fact they still price their oil in Dollar$$. Also known as the “Petrol Dollar”. Without it, the dollar tanks, taking the U.S. economy with it.
