Two 'Messes' That Need to be Addressed Immediately

Posted by HCN on Wednesday, February 26, 2020

The rule is being broken here; regardless of whether or not a newsworthy story evolved to do just that, bring attention to a region of the world through death and destruction. Ordinarily, there is a strive not to allow stories about strife in the Middle East, or anywhere, to be set directly alongside, or even juxtaposed with stories related to the White House.

The U.S. and Turkey for many years have had allegiances. Holding on to the allegiances has many wisdoms, which comes with the perspective leading to the same, that to break allegiance with Turkey is not wise.
The U.S and Saudi Arabia, same sentence as above, for many years have had allegiances. Holding on to the allegiances has many wisdoms, which comes with the perspective leading to the same, that to break allegiance with Saudi Arabia is not wise.
Upon international relations now, is that at least two Turkish troops have been reported fatalities in the strife in Libya.
Once again, the mess in Libya between the main rivals, current government, and the group seeking to overthrow it, leaves a number of nations with allegiances spread out and perhaps even contrary to clean-cut consistent allegiance groupings.
With the troops dead, and Turkey backing one group, while the U.S. backs the other, where is the future going with this?
Meanwhile, post the recent Democratic debate in South Carolina earlier this evening, current POTUS campaign assesses that situation as a mess.
Respectfully put, mess in terms of policy complexity, we now have 2, large scale messes that are on the table for cleaning up as carefully yet as quickly as possible.

Refer Burma/Myanmar page for air strikes over the EOM February/2026 start of March 2026 time frame. Up for consideration is the be mindful of the whole pie concept. There may very well be a double team set of missile strikes going on on Iran, subject to differing views; however there are still a number of situations going on globally that are weighted, such as violence in different areas of where the Sahel and Northern Africa meet, situations of starvation in the eastern areas of the belt as well; and missile strikes in other regions.
