Essentially lining up against the Sheiks and Egyptians; likely means the Israelis will be sucked in on the side of the Egyptians soon. US and Russians poised to play both sides and profit.
Russkies like the situation like it is, and both the Egyptians and Turks are irredentists. I see the Russian angle here -- if they just let the chips fall and let this become a full on war between Turkey and Egypt, it'd be a bonanza for US arms...but with Russian intermediation it's a fertile ground for their contractors.
