I am not sure that this administration or EU heads of states and their administrations truly understand what is going on in the greater middle east from India to Mauritania and Nigeria.

Most of them I am afraid apply Western Civilization logic and are in adherence to the Western human values which do not apply in those regions and therefore the confusion and the huge strategic mistakes. With Iraq Iran Afghanistan, Sudan and Libya being the main examples.

They never learn and Turkey is a disaster waiting to happen and no one pays attention. The New Turkey is going backwards instead of modernization. Al Sisi of Egypt went to Sochi, what was shown to him the minute after he landed? War making equipment - IMHO very sad.

I do not believe in prophesies but facts on the ground it seems that Nostradamus was indeed correct as to the infiltration of Islam into Europe that will later dictate the social order in accordance to Sharia law
