TALKING TURKEY

TURKEY, TURKEY, TURKEY!!
An idiomatic expression exists, here, "let's talk Turkey."
Actually, I have NO idea HOW the expression initially originated.
But, it connotes, let's be frank, honest, forthright, straightforward.
So, I am more than happy to talk Turkey about Turkey.
Since POSSIBLY I am the ONLY blog HERE that has been following Turkey's events for some time and Turkey's CRITICAL role in the Middle East PRIVATIZATION, you can see, here, AND, additional articles on the same website, the EXPLOSIVE confrontations AND OPPOSITION that has BEEN percolating all along in Turkey which can turn EVERYTHING upside down!!
It is important to recall Turkey's PREVIOUS government did NOT allow US troops to use it's territory as a staging ground for Iraq's invasion.
This one, important factor made ALOT of difference, influence, to the ultimate outcome in MANY ways.
So, here's the latest, including other articles on the homepage of their publication, website:

And, then, I have an IMPORTANT reminder to go with the above for those PERHAPS new to this subject and my blog, reported in 1997:

Now, I have an informative link below about SHUAA as an introduction.
Shuaa AND Hamid Jafar's (Dana Gas/Crescent Oil) Abraaj, although indicated below as competitors, really overlap.
These two are PRINCIPLE players in the Middle East, so you MUST become familiar with their names, interests, investors, Board, Advisers, etc:

And, here's the reason I posted the ABOVE about Shuaa.
MY emphasis in BOLD:

"GCC Investor Confidence: Shaken but still positive
Posted: December 28, 2009
UAE. SHUAA Capital has issued its December Special Edition GCC Investor Sentiment Report, the only report of its kind for the Gulf markets..."

ALL, above, are getting nervous, worried, anxious, concerned about the fate of their counterrevolutionary, reactionary, Middle East privatization project.
Everything exploding, unraveling simultaneously.
All balls juggled up in the sky, now.
Where will they fall??
How will they land??
SO MANY variables.
Also see my previous posts on this subject, below.
The ante has been upped, so, military escalation and confrontation inevitable, along with increasing polarization, militarization, confrontation under guise of national security and an emergency state here and perhaps elsewhere, abroad.
