Middle East chess board

Harvard PhD Zbigniew Brzezinski's 1997 book "The Great Chessboard" is a very important source book explaining the strategic interests of the USA in the post-cold war world. According to the author, the region designated as the "Grand Chessboard" is the Eurasian continent, which produces 75 percent of its energy resources and more than 50 percent of the world's GNP.

Let us also describe the chessboard of the diminutive center of Eurasia, the Middle East. The shah of the Middle East, which could not get rid of wars, migrations and autocratic administrations, is religion and oil. Everyone fights for them first. Everyone's main concern is to protect their own king. If he goes, it's game over.

The concept of nation and nation is a fortress. It is straight, goes only to the right or only to the left, cannot be flexible. His main duty is to protect the king at all costs, and therefore he alone has the authority to castling.

What about the states?

Turkey and Iran are horses. While all the others go straight or diagonally, they have their own style. Where they will come from and what they will do is unpredictable. Therefore, they must be kept under constant control. Although not alone, with the support of other players, they can toss the chessboard like cotton balls.

The elephant is Saudi Arabia and Egypt. They can't switch to either white or black, they play in their own colors, their minds are always worried about being a vizier, they strive for him, they strive for him, but the vizier is Israel in the Middle East. Because it goes all over the board without question and eats everyone who comes in front of it.

Terrorist organizations such as ISIS, PKK/PYD are pawns on this board. They want to be queens, they always want to get behind their opponents, to the last line, so they hit below the waist, their actions are treacherous. They do not distinguish between soldiers, civilians, workers, civil servants, and children. They try to reach the last line slowly, without being seen by anyone, but they can never make it to the end. Neither horses, nor elephants, nor castles allow them to be queens and are sacrificed every time. They are not vizier, they become disgraced.

Does it need to be said that the players on the Middle East chessboard are hegemonic powers that make all players from king to pawn, queen to knight beat each other and set up all kinds of games in order to implement their imperialist policies?

Whoever makes a game or breaks a game on the board, the players hate them. Movement by itself is not an acceptable phenomenon in the Middle East.

That's why, when the actors of the chessboard realize the game being played and act together, that day the Middle East may be the cradle of civilization again in the future, as it was in the past.

In this context, it is necessary to think once more about what great mind led to the establishment of the Baghdad and Sadabat pacts years ago.

What a man you are, what a brain you are, O Mustafa Kemal!
