Highest number of Troops there right now

Either way, interesting: where has this been prophicized?
Under a numerous number of accounts from the Jewish appocalytic scripture to the New Testament in what can be seen as a devastating war of chilling factors that will become a reality across the sacred land.
But you see the problem is that this is all too much likely to become a reality.
LOOK!
Iran wants Kuwait. Iran wants the Saudi Lands. We all know this.
Turkey wants to take control of the Kurdish lands, Armenia, Western Greece, Southern Bulgaria, and perhaps even Azerbaijan by simple connection of Turkic languages.
Just as the map below shows.
It also will provide you the future of the rest of the Middle East as it is gobbled up by Iran, Israel after it is nuked off the map, and Lebanon in the potential possibility of being assimilated into Syria.
In light yellow I provide to you the possible future of Iran's territorial boundaries for if it should seek to take territory formally belonging to it in historical accounts.
And in red and yellow striped destinated area of Azerbaijan provides a potential dispute of territory between Turkey and Iran on who gets Azerbaijan.
If you live in any part of this world you would either be annihilated (Israeli), assimilated (Lebonese), oppressed (Arabic, Armenian, and Kurdish), or all of the above (Arabic Sunnis not pertaining to Turkey and Syria).
However, this will not become our reality as Iran and Turkey will not be able to accomplish their goals. They will be stoped and defeated during the third world war.
