TURKEY MEETS WITH RUSSIA AND IRAN, NOT USA ISRAEL AND NATO:

Starting last year, we've been alerting Americans to the fact that Turkey's allegiances were shifting and that they were no longer a true ally of the United States.

With each passing day, now, Turkey makes that more and more clear, openly spitting in the unclenched fist of Barack Obama.

From the NYT:

ISTANBUL — Leaders of Russia, Turkey and Iran convened at a security summit meeting in Istanbul on Tuesday in a display of regional power that appeared to be calculated to test the United States just days before a scheduled American-backed debate in the United Nations Security Council on imposing tighter sanctions over Iran’s nuclear program.

In remarks at the gathering of regional leaders, the third of its kind dedicated to increasing cooperation and security in Asia, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran said a nuclear agreement brokered by Turkey and Brazil last month was a one-time opportunity and other countries had called to express their support for it.

“We’ve seen a lot of support from the international arena,” he said, according to the Turkey’s official Anatolian News Agency. “This is the voice of everyone’s heart.” Mr. Ahmadinejad also maintained a defiant posture toward the United States.

“If the U.S. and its allies think they could hold the stick of sanctions and then sit and negotiate with us, they are seriously mistaken,” he told a news conference, according to Iran’s state-run Press TV satellite broadcaster. European and American officials say the vote on sanctions could come as early as Wednesday.

Do you remember reading Shakespeare plays back in High School and college? Remember how the weakness of the King always led to chaos in the Kingdom?

That is a classic motif, because it is true.

Barack Obama is an American King Lear; promising his three daughters, Islam, Leftism, and Absolutist Atheism, that whichever one of them loves him the best, will get the largest share of his Kingdom. Now, Barack is sitting decrepit, watching the chaos that arises from the weak exercise of ego, rather than the wise exercise of power.
