RUSSIA.... SYRIA.....IRAN... TURKEY.... IT JUST BECAME MORE COMPLICATED!

Mr. Davutoglu's announcement that Turkey had " No plans to invade Syria" may have calmed a few worried Mothers in Turkey, but the rest of the region didn't hear a thing!

How fired the  first shot  is typically  an issue for the historians.

Who is "willing" to insure the right actions are taken to set the whole conflict in motion is the critical issue.

The other day, I talked about how Putin is now even a candidate for needing a " distraction" based on the protest movement in Russia.

It was one thing to realize Iran was close to needing a " distraction" given the pending fall of it's loyal Proxy Syria, but it is a whole new environment if Putin contemplate the same " distraction theory".

It's important to understand the reoccurring theme right now.

Iran is in real trouble and everyone knows it... to include Putin!

Far from being closer to Iranian dominance in the region, as some experts keep talking about, Iran is on the edge of losing everything!

Enter Mr. Putin!

Putin knows all too well what an Iran without Syria would mean to the region.

His ability to play middleman between Iran and the US and still make money selling arms to Iran and Syria would be all but gone if events keep on the current track.

Putin needs dominance in a region that is critical to his Master Plan as world Fuel Czar.

To accomplish this, he must have influence over the future of current events there.

Does Putin really care if the Sunni or the Shia control Syria?

No...

What he cares about is the Ottoman's ability to become a regional power and thus influence his vision of the future for Russia.

Ottomans and Russians... no love loss there!!!

Iran is a Pawn to Putin and always has been... really... every country in the Middle East is a  Pawn to someone and always has been.

Threatening to stoke the flames of conflict in the Middle East is a weapon Putin will not hesitate to use if the  Arab Spring... Tunisian Virus.. bet Putin sees it my way on this naming nomenclature issue, really becomes an issue in Russia.

Oh.. One last thought.. If there is one thing Putin loves... truly loves.. it's high oil prices...

Keeping the winds of war blowing without starting a fire is a great tactic Putin has a history of implementing.
