He has also managed to split Turkey off from NATO for all practical purposes.<br />The Iranians have managed to link up with Hezbollah and now reach the Med. But they have no air force (there Putin holds the cards). Hezbollah, Shia militias, and the various Quds formations have gained some operational experience in all of this, but they remain more or less average light infantry not the "elite" forces the Media likes to portray.<br />This should be considered: The so called Houthi activity in Yemen is Irani backed. They are trying to surround the Saudis. If they succeed in establishing themselves in the Red Sea, they would control the sea borne movement of oil for UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran, and Iraq. The exception to this is the Suez Canal and they didn't foresee fracking. In the interests of mercy more later.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642228725661059539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-7831408337533899262017-12-07T13:20:11.314-08:002017-12-07T13:20:11.314-08:00Western Europe will not stand up for itself.
