TURKEY AND THE WEST. IS IT TIME TO REALIZE WHAT IS TAKING PLACE?

So the Sultan will not “recognize” the US Ambassador as the official representative of the US in Turkey? Well, I’ve said this before and I will say it again and again…………..Erdogan is a mentally Ill! Yes…He’s a nutcase…thus the reason I call him Egodan! In the course of a week, the Turks have taken several deliberate steps to thumb their nose at the US. Why you may ask? If you have to ask that question, then you’ve not been following this nutcase for over thirteen years now. If Egodan is anything, he’s a dreamer. A man who has a fantasy of the new Ottoman Empire and of course he’s the Sultan of this imaginary world. But why now? Why all the uptick in this strained relationship?

The Puppet Master:

Who is the Puppet Master? If you have followed my posting for the past few years, you know exactly who I’m referring to……. You know...... The Tsar.  Could the phone ring next to Egodan’s bed and the Tsar simply give him his marching orders for that that day? No! Can the Tsar manipulate multiple issues with key inputs at just the right time to make the Puppet in Ottoman Land dance the Pirouette? As a matter of fact, he does it with more than just Egodan! He’s even has The Donald Jumping around at predictable moments in the movement. So, what was the issue this week that lead to the Sultan to once again take a slap at the US? Was it the meeting of the Saudi’s in Moscow? Was it the fact the Kurds are still receiving “support” from the West? Did Egodan just have some bad Turkish coffee this week?

Shifts in Power:  

How did the Sultan interpret the Saudi meeting in Moscow last week? Everyone knows the Saudis are a ripe plume the Tsar is more than willing to pluck away from the West. Oil, location and the ability to control the flow of funds into the Sunni groups…….groups that worry the Tsar. Could it be the Sultan was trying to show the Tsar the Turk’s increasing distancing from the West? Was the Sultan jealous of the Saudi visit? Sound crazy, well, crazy is the box that sits between Egodan’s ears! Never expect rational actions out of irrational people. The Saudi meeting in Moscow has all the “Experts” talking about the continuing “Power Shift” in the Middle East and to some extent they are correct. As they always have, times are changing! Old alliances are just that, “old”! New alliances are always shaky and full of doubt. But, here is what we all need to remember as it’s a much greater issue that Egodan making yet another mystifying statement. In the history of global power, powers based on alliances, the shifting of such alliances is almost always the real indication of dangerous times ahead. What we see taking place with Turkey has been slowly going on for over ten years now. That said, new shifts are now taking place and more irrational leaders are showing up on the playing field. All of that can only lead to one conclusion, we are sailing deeper in to very stormy waters!
