“Keep your eye on Turkey.” A memorable line from one of your articles, Jon. Well, I’m a-watchin’ — and here’s a sit-up-and-take-notice article: “Is Turkey Leaving the West?” by Daniel Pipes, in the 2/7/2013 edition of Townhall.com.
Pipes writes: “Recent steps taken by the Government of Turkey suggest it may be ready to ditch the NATO club of democracies for a Russian and Chinese gang of authoritarian states.”
The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), PIpes explains, was founded in 1996 by Russia and China, along with 3 former Soviet Central Asian states (and a 4th in 2001).
According to Pipes’ report, Turkish PM Erdogan has said “the SCO ‘is much better, it is much more powerful /than the EU/, and we share values with its members.’”

yeah. many are looking to Turkey to lead the coming Islamic Caliphate, but some are also looking to Egypt, hence the king of the north (Turkey) and the king of the south (Egypt) will again be at war with one another per Daniel 11.
