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.
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!!!
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.
