The plan is to get rid of $US reserves and replace them with a currency of some other country. Maybe China. Bold move, and a smart one, considering the outright hostile actions by the US towards the country. No dollar reserves, means no more economic bullying by the US.

Then Turkey will become China's puppet, like Russia is now. Russia is already losing their strong engineering force to China, their resources are bought cheaply by China and China is not even remotely investing in Russia. Much to the dismay of Putin. Turkey next?

The Syrian conflict, though deliberately obfuscated, was probably primarily a conflict between Russia-backed Iran and US-backed Saudi Arabia. Wahabism is an arm of the latter.

I was thinking that it was engineered because Assad refused to allow Qatar South Par gas pipelines from criss crossing his country on its way to Europe. The arreas occupied by ISIS terror group in Iraq and Syria were actually areas meant for South Par gas pipelines. South Par gas would have freed Europe from Russia energy dependency.

Speaking like half of the world isn't America's puppet already. China at least doesn't have military bases all over the world to ensure everybody stays in line. I wonder how many European countries would intentionaly harm their economies by placing sanctions on Russia if the US troops weren't there.

I fail to see how the US is funding the Saudis. Arming, maybe. Funding? Not so much.

Erdoğan claims that lowering interest rates to zero or near zero is more in line with Islamic principles, which may be true (according to interpretation of Islamic principles, I assume). This is a bold move that reinforces what was already suspected: he is continuing to solidify his power by appealing to Islamic sympathies. During the recent coup calls to resist the belligerents were broadcast over mosque loudspeaker…
