#1 But expectations of the Hizballah track are high and strongly guide the actions of President Obama, John Kerry, National Security Advisor Susan Rice and CIA Director John Brennan.

With the possible exception of Kerry, all old Benghazi hands. My personal "expectations" are actually quite low.

More like adherents of the 'neo-realpolitik/consequentialist' school.

#4 Whut, no AZERBAIJAN???

IMO Artic read, WELCOME NEW BFF + OWG-NWO GLOBAL CO-SUPERPOWER IRAN.

Lest we fergit, NEO-OTTOMAN TURKEY VERSUS NEO-PERSIAN [Sassanid?] IRAN; PAN-TURKIC/TURKISH UNION VERSUS PAN-PERSIAN/IRANIAN UNION.

As for the TURKS ...

* IIRC WAFF [old] > WILL ERDOGAN TURN TURKEY INTO A POLICE STATE TO STAY IN POLITICAL POWER.

Ostensibly because, unlike Rising Iran andor the anti-Iran Saudis, alleged Neo-Ottoman Turkey is hard-pressed for areas to geopol expand.

* GROONG, ARMINFO, TODAY'S ZAMAN > TURKEY MUST GO NUCLEAR IFF IRAN + SAUDIS DO.

* SAME > CONTROL OF CRIMEA [ + ultimately Black Sea Region] VITAL FOR PROPOSED PIPELINE, CANAL PROJECTS.

* SAME > NEOS KNOCKING AT THE DOOR: RUSSIA'S TURKEY + IRAN PROBLEMS.

Nukulaar Islam including Global Jihad.
