  • Redrawing the Middle East- Blood Borders

    A relatively unknown map of the Middle East, NATO-garrisoned Afghanistan, and Pakistan has been circulating around strategic, governmental, NATO, policy and military circles since mid-2006. It has been causally allowed to surface in public, maybe in an attempt to build consensus and to slowly prepare the general public for possible, maybe even cataclysmic, changes in the Middle East. This is a map of a redrawn and restructured Middle East identified as the “New Middle East.”




    Note: The following map was prepared by Lieutenant-Colonel Ralph Peters. It was published in the Armed Forces Journal in June 2006, Peters is a retired colonel of the U.S. National War Academy. (Map Copyright Lieutenant-Colonel Ralph Peters 2006).

    Although the map does not officially reflect Pentagon doctrine, it has been used in a training program at NATO's Defense College for senior military officers. This map, as well as other similar maps, has most probably been used at the National War Academy as well as in military planning circles.

    While it's nice that someone thought to give us some more land, i think the overall idea of this map is idiotic, the only way to achieve this is through blood shed. But totally ignoring that fact right now, in the spirit of this "new middle east" here's a link to a blank map you can edit to create your own messed up/better version of the middle east with or without regards to things that actually matter then upload and share with the rest of us

    we know this map, it has already been published two years ago in the special issue on the occasion of the astag newspaper 80th anniversary. I'm sceptical of it's realization but if you look well ararat is included in the new armenia, but not kars, ardahan etc, and still there is no direct access to the sea

      Ararat's fine but i'd rather have access to the sea if i had to choose one. As for the rest of the map, i don't get why Saudi Arabia should be divided as well as other things

        Its a completely retarded map with the only aim being to Balkanize the middle east so that these small, petty states can be more easily conquered by outside forces (namely the west).

        Some people in neocon circles actually think this guy is smart... he couldn't even figure out what to do with the West Bank

          Lol, true.


          i forgot where it went but when i found this the first time it was on a Turkish blog site and they were obviously pissed about it so they had a World divides up USA contest, some of the maps were pretty funny actually. but the contest gave me the idea to leave the link for the blank map at the bottom for anyone to edit and upload, I'm sure there are more intelligent people on here than the guy who drew that map

            Armenia is not "gaining" land that much. It looks like we lose Artsakh and Azerbaijan becomes a major regional power, much more than it is now. This map is obviously intended to serve Western interests - just look at who gets the land. The Kurds, Sunnis, Shias, the Baloch, all "tribes" that the West doesn't have to worry about too much while major powers like Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, etc. lose land. This map ignores reality. What BS.

              even though I do not take this map seriously, I think if there were any serious attempt by the west to make this a reality it would backfire much like every other attempt made in the mid-east, etc.
