Teribus, France is part of the west - just too bad that they sometimes beat us when it comes to clinching arms deals with dictators. (Maybe you've got France down as Warsaw Pact, but I can assure you they are allies of the UK, and were allies of the US, at least until the ridiculous pronouncement that countries must be either with, or against, the US.)

As you seem to attach some significance to common borders, I am surprised you forgot to mention Turkey in your conventional-weapons comparisons. Here's what you might have said about Turkey:

Combat aircraft: 600-ish?
Main battle tanks: well over 4,000 and rising
APCs: 5,000-odd
Artillery pieces: 3,000?
Standing army: something over 500,000.

There's maybe another 5,000 tanks in Syria, with other capabilities to match. And Syria has a huge border with Iraq. These near neighbours must be shaking in their boots at what the might of Iraq might wreak down on them.
