* Saudi-Arabia as leader and Türkiye as befriended nation? (Türkiye is special as it has connections to the West by EU and NATO, important economic ties to Russia and it is an Muslim nation.) | |||
** Türkiye's latest blackmailing (2022.05.14) has just proofed again that they are a mafia-tainted autocracy. Should NATO and China start to beat up each other they can turn to team number three, let them be the "king maker" and split the bribe. | |||
*** '''Türkiye could become a Trojan Horse for NATO as it cannot be kicked out.''' The opportunist Erdogan showed interest in a [https://www.n-tv.de/politik/Erdogan-plant-Mitgliedschaft-in-oestlichem-Buendnis-article23595727.html SCO membership]. Also, he repeatedly threatened NATO member Greece. Türkiye switching sides would mean to leave major parts of the Black Sea to the influence zone of SCO and Georgia would be degraded to a full-fledged satellite state. As soon as Türkiye joins SCO NATO would need to dissolve and reassemble a second later together with Sweden and Finland. | |||
** Oh look who is [https://archive.ph/pSytN looking for backup]. Spite China's Islamophobia Saudi-Arabia and co. could become befriended - or in China's worst case neutral - partners during a hot USA-China-conflict. The Islamic world and China share an autocratic ruling style and a subliminal up to an open Anti-Americanism. | |||
