Inferno: Turkish & American Facts (III)
Two weeks passed. Israel is on the backburner now. America decides because it has to. Now comes the hard part. How to pull out without losing face! After that, Israel will do the right thing.
Currently, there is a stalemate in the Middle East. Some would describe it as the calm before the storm. For some others in the know, it is a dead reckoning. It all started with the 7 October 2023 attacks on civilians. It quickly engulfed into an inferno: Turkish & American facts will determine how long it will last.
Also, how it will end.
Dead Reckoning
Dictionary definition of dead reckoning has to do with measuring distance at sea.
“The process of calculating one's position, especially at sea, by estimating the direction and distance traveled rather than by using landmarks, astronomical observations, or electronic navigation methods. “
However, for the sake of this post, no one needs to do measuring the distance between “navies”. “Dead reackoning” instead refers to the coming end-of-the-US, as we know it. It can come with a blink of an eye.
If so, it will be sooner than “projected” five or ten years. It has potential to come to an end with one fatal little mistake in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. That’s a dead reckoning for you!
In other words, what began in Israel may end up with the US.
Inferno: Turkish & American Facts
More To Bet On Than Laser Guns
Actually, there is no stalemate in the Middle East at this time. Instead, there are Turkish & American facts of life.
Turkish facts are based on solid factors at hand. American factors bet on “testing the waters” before anything.
If American factors go too far, in time or deed, they may also backfire. That’s why, there is no stalemate. Instead, there is just that: A limbo, for the US.
Turkish Facts
Turkiye has the biggest navy in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. It is big enough for a semi-closed sea to overpower any armada. That would include two or three aircraft carrier fleets of the US. Add to that an additional armada, “Christian” in nature.
Such an armada would not be enough to overpower the Turkish flotilla. Instead, in a semi-closed sea, other factors will come into play. Mind you, war against Turks never worked on their turf. Nevermind, they have never been this resourceful in history.
American Facts
The 2024 Presidential Election is only a year away. The eastern Mediterranean Sea is not Grenada or Libya or Sudan. It is not Iraq with Saddam Hussein or Iran with the Islamic Republic either. This is a vast body of water. Ask the Romans and the Ottomans!
HELIOS is a 60 to 120 kilowatt high-energy laser weapon. Lockheed Martin developed it. Some may think it is a good opportunity to test it now in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Maybe so, but it is not the right place for the “ultimate” test!
Inferno: Turkish & American Facts
3 November 2024, A Year Away
There is another set of facts. They involve numbers.
The US has the biggest navy in the world by far. However, I already talked about Biden’s 2.5 War Mess. The US cannot nowadays fight one-extended-war.
Never mind 2.5, now, we are talking about 3.5. Go figure, how insane it is! Don't our adversaries know it as well and laugh?
About Turks, meanwhile, nothing much has changed. The only difference about these current Republican Turks, they can sustain wars both at land and sea, as viciously.
State of Turkiye
Turkiye, at this time in history, does not need to rely on any other country for peace or war. Turks have always fought wars on multiple fronts. So their heritage is full of experience and wisdom. However, now they also have the means.
Consequently, the state of Turkiye today is not like recent past. For example, Turks have no formidable and credible enemy in the region. They have been eliminating them for the past decade with socio-economic and politico-military means.
Turkish numbers are simply overwhelming. Take it from the number of embassies in Africa to Turkish Airline destinations. Then there are military numbers like drones and missiles. They are indigenously mass manufactured which make the difference.
What about electronic warfare? Former head of the military matters, Ismail Demir repeatedly made the point. No one needs to find out what Turkiye has. Turkiye will not reveal it until deep into a war-time-scenario. Then, it will naturally be too late.
State of the US
The US, at this time in history, needs more than ever the armed forces of other countries to embark on any venture. The Iraq war was the last time the US needed to galvanize NATO. When Turkiye did not cooperate, Iraq became an 8 trillion dollar “big” failure.
The annals of history also say what country saved the lives of thousands of American servicemen/women. However, today, there is one other detrimental factor. The US today is in a state of economic decay and does not even have mere billions to spare.
It is a good reminder that the US requires trillion dollars in wartime. Even then, it spent 8 trillion dollars in Iraq and lost! Vietnam was nothing to brag about either. The Korean war was a disaster if Turks did not save the US 2nd Division.
WWII was an accomplishment, right?
The US hegemony only lasted only half a century. Whose fault is this? This question requires an answer first. Leaving Israel helpless behind is the testimony how helpless the US has already become. It is the fault of no one but Globalists in charge since 1992.
Facts Matter
Why did Israel, after two weeks, not enter the Gaza Strip and take over? Some say, the US does not permit Israel. Some others say the US is worried about repercussions. Yet others say the US is waiting for Christian armada to arrive. Finally, there are those that say, “not in your life”.
Which one is true? All of the above are true.
Here are facts! We could barely fight a 2.5 war when we had hegemony. Now, we are talking about 3.5 when we don’t have enough for half a war. Aren’t we begging arms and munitions from here and there to supply Ukraine in its war against Russia?
