Asia Minor Model of Things to Come - Antipathies that Mankind Cannot Control

Nagorno-Karabakh, a name and region the world would know nothing about were it not for the situation that it is a hotbed for historical antipathies that come from the clashes between Islam and the former Christian enclaves, remnant circumstances of which will drive the rest of the region into frenzied hostilities trying to claim dominance in spite of the impossibilities that contradict any terms of peace. What is hard for many to understand is that the volatility of the region is endemic; and as too few really understand further is that this is all about preserving a peace for Jerusalem, the region's epicenter for the hatred that has been generated for centuries. It is all ready to spill over again. And with America being made ready to accelerate the processes after President Trump's moving the American embassy to Jerusalem and the successor antipathies ready to try and take it all back, where is it all going? Not even America knows.
Strange as it may seem, the Russians are in the background of all of it, even in juxtaposing between Turkey's backing the Muslim Azeris and the aggravated enmities that Muslim Turkey has for the Christian Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh, who also have a presence in Jerusalem.
The enemies of the Jewish nation are gunning for that also. In their delusion, they cannot help themselves; just as the writings of the ancients looking for the return to Zion have predetermined.
