Recently, there have been comments that China's interest in our region has increased. Beyond that, it seems that China wants to be influential in developments in the Middle East.
 
In short, it gives the message, "You have to take me into account in the steps you will take," especially to the USA. Already in many corners of the world, China has a serious economic activity. For example, it has been present in Africa for 30 years. Economic moves were also effective in this.
 
It is gradually adding new ones to these activity areas. The fact that he has taken on some mediation in the Middle East in recent times inevitably shows that the developments should be followed carefully.
 
While the agreement realized through the mediation of China, especially between Iran and Saudi Arabia, is still fresh, this time, the PKK killed those killed in the helicopter that crashed in the north of Syria, the airspace under the control of the USA was used with the falling helicopter, that is, the USA's involvement in the incident. The fact that news about him is being played raises the question of whether a new play is being staged for our region.
 
Because it is stated that a large amount of missiles, bombs and ammunition were carried in the falling helicopter. Meanwhile, Barzani's accusation of Talabani and the fact that the USA, which has been following the developments silently for days and has not been targeted, has recently become a target, as if it shows that there are new developments in our region. Maybe it would not be wrong to call this a new posting on the agenda.
 
Moreover, it would not be wrong to say that our country has been pushed into the drug trafficking, since drugs are being transported in or on helicopters that crashed. Because, not a day goes by that the drug dealers are not caught and detained with the operations carried out in our country.
 
In short, it is not known whether the USA is trying to provide income to terrorist organizations that it uses to protect its interests in our region, through drug trade, but it would not be wrong to think that there will be nothing they will not do for their own interests.
 
As a result, rather than signing an agreement with China's Iran-Saudi Arabia mediation, the activities of the USA should be followed seriously. In the meantime, considering the efforts of the USA to enlarge NATO, it is necessary to see that the cold war is entering a new phase and that Russia is getting closer to China in the region and especially in Asia. In short, while the USA is taking steps to expand NATO in the Balkans and Eastern Europe, it is a fact that steps for a new structure have been taken in Asia.
 
While all this is going on, the USA is especially using terrorist organizations to make our country doomed to them. In particular, it would come as no surprise that they've recently added drugs to it. Since it is not clear that Talabani and Barzani will walk in a fixed line, it would not be a surprise if they act according to the conditions.
 
However, what is certain is that the US-Israel partnership will not end in our region. Because it is not unknown that the USA will stand by Israel until the end. The fact that the Zionists have an influence on the administration in the USA should not be overlooked. In this regard, our region will become more and more tense, and the United States and Israel will resort to every means to keep the road to Greater Israel open.
 
Without forgetting this fact, we have to decide for ourselves and determine our own future. We have to save our country from the ever-increasing need for foreign exchange. Because at this point, the interest burden on foreign debt has tripled from the principal. In short, full independence will be very difficult as long as we need external debt.
