To my friends who are a bit muddled by what's going on in the
Middle East I will attempt to explain it all.
Middle East politics for Dummies:
Turkey & Gulf States are strong allies of The West (US, UK, France). The West hates Iran.
The
West, Gulf States & Turkey hate Assad
Russia, China & Iran support Assad
Russia, China & Iran support Assad
Turkey & The West are pro Egypt's elected leadership -
Muslim Brotherhood (MB)
Iran, The West (not a typo, they appear in both), Assad, &
Gulf States support Gen Sisi (military coup leader)
Iran & Hizbulla support Hamas, who is pro Egypt MB.
The West, Russia & Gulf States hate Hamas.
Turkey
likes Hamas.
Iran,
Turkey, China & Russia did not support Arab Spring in Lybia, but supported
it in Egypt, Yemen and Bahrain.
Iran,
Russia & China didn't support Arab Spring in Syria but Turkey did.
Does that help? See, it’s simple and clear!
By the time you get here you either have it all clear, or you just
completely lost it. Either ways, welcome to the Middle East politics.
One
last point, the people there hate all the leaders, because they are puppets
installed by The West, and therefore they hate the West. However, everyone
dreams of a day to migrate out of the Middle East and live in The West...
Just to let you know that I'm lost but definitely I'm clear
