As if Lebanon needed a new axes.... Iran and Syria and Russia against USA and the gulf countries, now France against Turkey and let's not forget about Israel.
How can we deal with this salad?
OK we are a country who calls for coexistence, but this is too much....
I hate all of them..... I still didn't forget when Jacques Chirac was defending the Syrian occupation when he visited USJ.
As for Turkey tfouuu, pitty on us if we accept them.
I feel we are making the same mistake again and inviting every country to mediate in our affairs.
OH I forgot also going east with China lol.

Turkey-France relations: Deepening cross-purposes
A cold wind is blowing between Paris and Ankara since last fall when the French government summoned the Turkish envoy in Paris after President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said his French...

No, I don't think there is war now. Both countries are not ready. Especially with Russia still not committed with the EU.
However, we may see skirmishes between Turkey & Greece (with Greece heavily backed by the French & Egyptians)
Lets not forget that France is a nuclear power, a war between the 2 will not really be fair for the Turks.

We are not Turkey.
And the French are not Israel. In my opinion, the French are more ruthless than the Israelis. History says so.

In terms of war? Actually I am not.
I do not think a war will erupt between Turkey & France directly.
But if it does & France finds itself losing, don't you think that they will nuke the hell out of Turkey?

There are no wars. Just muscle flexing.
Iran and US have been playing this game for decades, and hardly fired a bullet.

US killed Soleimani. That is more than a bullet. They overthrew the corrupt Iraqi government and replaced it with a US-backed Al Kathimi . And they are doing absolutely the same thing in Lebanon.
No one will strike Iran, that is for sure. They are betting on a coup-d'état that will overthrow the nefarious religious regime there.
US main threat is China not Iran. Hence, the Americans have a vested interest in keeping Iran intact, military wise. And when the fruit is ripe, they overthrow the religious regime and replace it with a secular one.

I agree it is not a war for nukes, but for oil.
The job that the winners of WWI started to undergo in the 1920, is not finished yet, simply because Atatürk prevented them to do so. That is, the decimation of the Ottoman empire. The French and the British had their shares of nations, under what is known as the Sykes-Picot repartition. Russia was absent because of the Bolchevik revolution.
Now Russia wants its share,

Iran's mullahs are the US and israel best interest.
Count the amount of weapons sold to the arabs and kurds as a consequence of the threat iran constantly poses, and instead of being an ally to these countries, israel was chosen instead as a partner.
Not mentioning the consequence of keeping the region in a constant war zone, being divided and easy to maneuver.
It's all a game of interests, and iran never won in history. Always the first one to fall.

I am really curious of how Turkey will get itself out of this mess.

Erdogan warns of ‘high price’ if Turkish ships are attacked, after French planes buzz Ankara’s flotilla
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has threatened reprisals if anyone attacks the ship surveying disputed waters in the Mediterranean for oil and gas, after two French jets flew nearby during an exercise with the Greek fleet.
