Source: CounterPunch A failed coup in Turkey has changed the geopolitical landscape overnight realigning Ankara with Moscow while shattering Washington’s plan to redraw the map of the Middle East. Whether Turkish strongman Recep Tayyip Erdogan staged the coup or not is of little importance in the bigger scheme of things. The fact is, the incident has consolidated his power domestically while derailing Washington’s plan to control critical resources and pipeline corridors from Qatar to Europe. The Obama administrations disregard for the national security interests of its allies, has pushed the Turkish president into Moscow’s camp, removing the crucial landbridge between Europe and Asia that Washington needs to maintain its global hegemony into the new century. Washington’s plan to pivot to Asia, surround and break up Russia, control China’s growth and maintain its iron grip on global power is now in a shambles. The events of the last few days have changed everything.

Thanks for sharing this article, Dr. Bramhall. The Middle East is such a bedlam of conflicting interests and struggles that it has been difficult to keep up with the chaos the US and its allies has created.
We opened Pandora’s box and must now deal with the backlash.

So true, Rosaliene. For some odd reason, the US thought it would be as easy to occupy and colonize the Middle East as Mexico, Latin America and the Philippine. Too bad Americans are so ignorant about history – they would have learned from Britain’s mistake.
