#1 Where's the smart money going, Egypt or Turkey?

Same question for China v. India?

What are the odds on us keeping out of both?

Where will Greece and or Italy fit in?

Is the world really this screwed up?

#2 ^ Wouldn't want the US involved in either of these wars but wouldn't mind if Trump was to slip a few billion dollars worth of aid and comfort to India and Egypt. Would love to see both Xi and Yippy with bloody noses.

It's hard for me to believe that China is doing any more than posturing in the Himalayas but Egypt might be serious. They can't be happy about a resurrected Ottomon Empire nextdoor.

#3 Extended Ottoman-claimed energy areas directly affects the eastern Med nations. If Tunisia and Algeria come under the Caliphate, the MB will rise again at home. Sisi is right to stress national security

#4 Greece will fall to Turkey when they get pushed out of Libya by Egypt. Germany's influence will turn inward as they fortify Italy against the Turks and North Africans.

Iran will push north and east in a unification effort of Russia's abandoned tribes during the churning of Turkey's forces.

The threat of a nuclear US, Russian coalition (see REACT exercises) will cause China to back away from India and flow into SEA and the Pacific island nations. India will abandon Burma as they turn northeast to the Iran front.

My magic 8 ball is undecided about Australia's role.

#5 Greece will fall to Turkey when they get pushed out of Libya by Egypt.

NATO should expel Turkey and defend Greece. Turks have always been an enemy of Western Civilization. Not saying NATO members would have the guts to do so but they should if they know what's good for them.
