The Turkish Escalation

It is hard to explain the attitude made by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan toward the crisis in Syria, unless we read the Turkish Political calculations and study Erdogan’s dreaming project.

 Erdogan wants to lead the Islamic world by using new Sultanate concepts and the new Islamic movements (Muslim Brotherhood) in the region.

These Islamic movements removed and mounted on the popular movement in many Arabs countries.

 A new pact between U.S.A and Emerging Islamic movements (Muslim Brotherhood) was made to create a new middle east, this pact had been prepared since Obama speech in 2009.

Obama speech described the smooth power, the American values and Abandonment of  military power to keep the U.S. strategic interests and American National Security.

This pact will become future US strategy to serve the new American strategy in our region.

U.S.A.  uses another way to do this strategy; this way has less economic, human cost by using regional powers (Turkey) instead of Israel, because Israel is not qualified any longer to do this role due to the public mood and its negative attitude in the region.

American strategy and Erdogan’s dreams met at this point because Erdogan’s dream has an opportunity and momentary historical chance especially that Arab’s region lives in unstable conditions.

We don’t underestimate the street against some corrupt regimes in other countries, but we focus on the way especially that Emerging Islamic movements which hijacked the popular movement.

Former U.S. Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, had talked about the unstable conditions (Creative chaos). 

The only obstacle against the pact among US and western powers and the Emerging Islamic movements (Muslim Brother hood) will be Syria, so they (USA and Turkey) are trying to shift the Syrian from playing the role of Resistance.

The Turkish role comes here through the intervention of Syrian internal affairs by pushing situations to further escalation and blocking any opportunities for political solutions and taking the Syrian to the point of irreversibility. They believe this will lead to the fall of the Syrian political regime and will destroy the Syrian state through its depletion economically, militarily and socially; and this will pave the way for foreign opposition forces to gain power and implement strategies of the Western world (US-Israeli camp).

US, Western powers and Turkey were unable to defeat Syria by using the hard and soft powers, so they are waving the direct use of military force by installing Patriot missiles in Turkish land.

The missiles aim to achieve several objectives: first to protect Israel and Turkey from any attack (Syria, Iraq and Iran) and second to use Turkey as a platform for NATO against Russia and that will lead the region to cold war again.

This, however, will be reflected negatively on Turkish people and will serve US and Israel for free, and will push the people in the region for Conflict, infighting and rivalry.
