Turkey and Isreal are really starting to butt heads

Expert deems Turkish threat on Cyprus drilling serious

In another chapter of Turkey vs Isreal they may be about to start a more serious conflict. As world demand for fossil fuels increases and supply is decreasing I think we are going to see this sort of thing flare up all over the world. Nations are now starting to consider claims to energy rich places as vital to their national security. I posted in an earlier post about a similar dispute brewing in the South China Sea, there are multiple claims going over arctic territory ( This is clearly Canadian turf... biased i know. deal with it)
  Thus far we have only seen some saber rattling and tough talk over these disputes. but how long until shots are fired. If you place two opposing armies or navys in close proximity to each other, bad things can happen.

Here is a repost of my earlier entry on the South China Sea dispute
