"Turkey is a member of NATO, and Turkey is not going to pull out from NATO. Mr. Erdogan and his military officials expressed a desire to lead NATO Rapid Response Forces in 2021. Of course, Turkey wins support.
"Secondly, the Syrian problem should be viewed in the context of the Iranian problem. This is the most important question for the Americans. For them, Ukraine is not so important - it is the Middle East that comes first. The Americans did not conceal the fact that they have spent 1 trillion 700 billion dollars on Iraq vs. 5 billion on Ukraine. The Americans also deal with the pressure from Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
"Iran is an unusual country. There is no other country in the world that would rise to the level of a great empire for so many times. Iran used to be the Achaemenid, the Sassanid, the Parthian empire ..."
"Is there anything that can help Assad now?"
"Assad is making several mistakes. He has lost independence. It is the Iranians who make all decisions, including in law enforcement agencies. Iran helps Syria a lot - with money, weapons and everything else. The Iranians are fighting with Hezbollah on the side of Bashar al-Assad. Technically, if he promised autonomy to Syrian Kurds and Christians, then it would be a correct thing for him to do.
"In Iraq, many people feel nostalgic about the days of Saddam Hussein. This is absolutely terrible. The only force that can break ISIS is Iran. If Iran mobilizes its army and moves it to Iraq and Syria, then ISIS will be destroyed. This would be the case of an open war with Arabian countries, though. If it happens, the Saudis will not sit on their hands, and the USA will interfere. The situation may develop into one big bloody massacre."

Srila Prabhupada once said:
Therefore, in the Srimad-Bhagavatam it is said that this is the incarnation of God in this age. And who worships Him? The process is very simple. Just keep a picture of Lord Chaitanya with His associates.
