Hi Penny
Here’s the link to the post where I reference Turkey being “next”.

https://greencrowasthecrowflies.ca/2026/03/14/the-situation-room/

Rarely do I not include a link to a factual statement but this time I did not include the X link [SulliamanAhmed’s X account] where the video was presented showing the Turkish woman journalist in the street conversing with an Israeli. There was no English translation so I did not bother to include the video. (:

“You’re [Turkey] next!” of course the Strait of Bosporus would be a real feather in Netantrumpu’s cap.

Oh, yes, it would be- A real feather

Oh, I realize it’s a big if, for sure.
Turkey is being very savvy around this situation as they have been for years now-
Iran is an integral part of the belt and road.. Russia doesn’t want them gone either..
And yes it looks as if Usrael is losing- Trump is acting like a bufoon
lie after lie after lie- it’s amazing to me

What scares me is we, collectively, will be harmed by all of this
So unnecessary. Completely, unnecessary

I Penny. I tried to put a comment on your blog yesterday but it was rejected [again]. Yesterday I mentioned the veiled and not so veiled threats against Turkey by USrael on my blog. A Turkish journalist was interviewing people on the streets of Tel Aviv and an Israeli man came up to her and said: “You’re [Turkey] next!” of course the Strait of Bosporus would be a real feather in Netantrumpu’s cap.

Hi Penny:
“If the United States and Israel succeed in destroying Iran, Turkey may be next.” -That’s a big “IF” Penny. I think China and Russia will have something to say in that matter. They can ill afford to have Iran lose. Anyway, at present, it looks to me that the US and Israel are losing and that is well deserved.

speaking of chokepoints

Considering the idea of Houthis closing the Bab el Mandeb

India Today reporting

While the Strait of Hormuz is choked amid the war on Iran, the focus is now on another strait in the region, the Bab el-Mandeb. The Yemeni Houthi group, part of Tehran’s “Axis of Resistance”, has warned its “fingers are on the trigger”. The Houthis joining the war could choke yet another crucial artery of global trade.

“Will the Houthis join the Iran war?” “Why all is quiet on the Yemeni front”. These were some of the headlines global outlets carried earlier this week as Iran kept retaliating against joint American and Israeli strikes. The questions are valid and asked with a sense of anxiety. If the Yemen-based Houthis, a militant group long backed, armed and nurtured by Tehran were to join the war, it could get another crucial waterway, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, choked. This could be catastrophic for global trade amid a shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz.
