ME Warsaw Pact

Just yesterday I babbled on about the need for the US to create a modern day Marshall Plan. Know it looks like Russia is starting on a Modern Day Warsaw Pact (also found in ECN).

In addition, the five nations at the meeting -- Iran, Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan -- signed a declaration stating that "under no circumstances will they allow (the use of their) territories by third countries to launch aggression or other military action against any of the member states."

This is what I meant by a new Cold War situation but I called it a Luke Warm War. It is all part of the “King of the Mountain” world game that is currently going on.

I expect some serious maneuvering by at least the EU and China in the near future concerning the ME since that is where the game is the most intense.
