    Hi wotsup,

    re "Putin made a very clear statement around the time of entering Syria, Golan Heights belongs to Syria."

    Technically speaking, Putin is right ..... it is occupied territory according to UN Charter??
    Yes, I read about the oil discovery at the time, mate, and realised the implications.
    Putin's mandate is to return Syria to Assad, or similar secular control.... and I guess that includes Golan. But I cant see him engaging militarily with Israel over it.
    Hey, I can see them sharing it, lol. But that wouldnt be legal, strictly speaking either. in this day of the UN, et al (useless buggers), we cant have countries just splitting up and taking bit of other countries. Well, we shouldnt.
    As for that "Turkish leader".... he cant be trusted, you are right. He just cant make up his mind whose side he is on. That will bring him down. Hope NATO has taken the nukes off him.

    GZ
