1) With the oil and gas money they have and the ICBM's which makes the american ABM redundant, I can't see this strategy succeeding. I would rather try to draw russia away from the arabs than push them further towards them.

The Russians are attracted to the ME, perhaps like moths to a flame

.
2) Putin will go soon, Lets see who the successor would be. Most definitely a hand appointed ex-GGB/exGRU aparachnik with a penchant to: 1. kill any free press, 2. control as much of the economy as possible, 3. actually kill any and all internal critics of any worth, 4. focus all the world ills on American militarism, imperialism, yada dada doo...
3) Didn't turkey host US missiles during cold war? Israel is the country that needs to be protected against shababs, so Israel is another candidate. I was under the impression UAE is politically stable. I thought this is more in line with serious (= permanent) Aegis+ type radar installations, not like the kind of footprint a Patriot takes up, could be wrong thoug. As for Israel we have a program already, that beats THAD and the like for the time being.

4) Not sure so I can't comment... well it was idle speculation
