More oil from Venezuela and less from Russia/Iran ?

We can develop oil fields and mines in Venezuela. We have the technology. We can buy agricultural goods from them. In a decade Venezuela might become rich again.

Yes, it's NATO propaganda, but the author does make a salient point on right-wing and historic Russian sentiment towards Turkey, and especially Istanbul.

it's not only NATO propaganda but also ukranian .

I personally think the greatest guarantor for Turkiye’s ability to maneuver in this stage and this current world order is a strong enough Russia, not a weak defeated Russia.

One greater lesson for Turkiye -more than any other country (except maybe China)- is preparing for a scenario where a world (US) can use a nation in your border (no longer Greece only, but look at what the French are doing with Armenia now) to literally destroy your country or enter a self-destructing cycle without ending and without even having to lose a life for that. So not like before, They have influence in your internal affairs and once you liberate yourself from this influence you can go. They can have as much damage from outside your borders and they won't be unable to find pretexts...

Do you think it will be hard anytime in the future to replace the “Monstrous Russians” with any country they decide is the devil to be defeated ?

We are destroying the Russian army without losing a single American soldier. If we defeat Putin in Ukraine, the world will be a better place. All that is needed is American military support. In 18 months, the Ukrainian people regained half of their territories and not a single American died. The Russian economy is falling apart. The Russian Army has been destroyed. This is a good investment by the American people.

New piece unpacking Turkiye-Somalia agreement, utilizing statements from diverse sources :

Turkey set to solidify its power in Somalia with murky naval defence deal

Though Turkish officials are tight-lipped about the pact, the Somali government has suggested Ankara would be protecting Somalia's waters

Also there is interteing article from 2021 mentioning plans to build a rocket launch site in Somalia

After Russia, China is next.

For us Turks, China has always been our oldest nemesis because they were one of the first enemies our ancestors fought.

Once Russia is gone. Turkiye and China will compete for Central Asia.

Then again we also have Russia and Iran. Lets not forget Pakistans aspirations too. Pakistan has also tried to stake its claim to Central Asia. India is also present in Tajikistan that too cant be ignored.

Central Asia will go through another Great Game.

I have not seen any analysis that says “China is next” for Turkiye s near or medium term future strategic plans. I would appreciate it if you could recommend any!

Given the current world events, many would assume that the strategic directions are imposing themselves and that there is no longer a matter of choice, as we often read. I may be wrong, but I do see Turkiye have already made up its mind in choosing which priorities from that many directions.

If there are certain main strategic directions, they are according to many academics :

• North in Ukraine to the Caucasus and the whole Black Sea Vector (the Northwest into the southeastern Balkans), where Russia, Ukraine,Georgia and Southern Balkans (Romania and Bulgaria) are, to wider Europe and Asia.
• East of Iran and South East up to the Gulf, where the transit route for oil and gas pipelines from Central Asia and the Caspian Sea is, and where the PKK in Iraq and Syria and the importance of the Gulf countries are
• South: Levant (Israel), where Israel has a role in Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine.
• South West (Cyprus and Greece and de facto France), and the first stop past Istanbul to the wider world and the rights and interests in the Eastern Mediterranean.

One thing for sure is that the Eastern Mediterranean in the South West (Cyprus and Greece and de facto France) is a priority for Turkiye .
(Every day they make sure to send a reminder of that)

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1761321977627746406

Then, Iraq/Syria/Levant (Israel) and East of Iran and South East up to the Gulf are where you find PKK, Israel, Iran, and Armenia (France)
I bieleve I don't even need to write about them in the light of what's happening around us now

Turkiye has a casus belli about the nautical miles issue with Greece.

In 1996, Turkiye nearly went to war with Greece over Kardak.

That's why they are knocking every door possible to bring them to thier country and that seems not enough as they invite new ones every day, although they have the Americans , the Israelis and the French already

they are inviting the indians too lately !​

It is really nice to see that Erdogan understands the significance and corelation between a strong domestic defence industry and strong foreign policy.
I have been extremely satisfied for the last week..... Truly.... Turkey is 100% on the right path


"The strong defense industry lies behind our increasing reputation in foreign policy. As foreign dependency in the defense industry decreased, our effectiveness in the international arena increased.
Turkey is literally writing an epic in the field of defense industry. Today, Turkish UAVs and UCAVs protect the skies of 34 different countries.
We will build the next segment of our aircraft carrier.
“Our Navy is carrying out the work.”

They can invite who they want. Soon every European nation falls into a civil war. The West is socially and financially broke, they dont know it yet.

Put hundreds of millions socialists, conservatives, LGBT-people and Africans, Asians, Arabs and refugees in one cage and you get a failed society.

Everyone is angry and hungry and a lot are armed.

Greeks will always fight as long as somebody does it for them or behind their back.

Byzantines are the ones who started the crusades by begging for help from the Pope.

In the crusades numerous times where the Byzantines backstabbed their own Crusader allies and left them fend for themselves against the Muslims.

When the crusaders took Jerusalem the Byzantines quickly demanded control.

I think that USA and Europe has other channels to play their games with others. As it seems to me the bigger the chaos the better it is for them.
The tingling which they do in Gaza and some other places were not possible let's say 20 odd years ago.
Their " ideas " nowadays appeal to the lowest quality of people and gullible masses.

Türkiye has risen rapidly to become the third-largest diplomatic player in the world in 2023, overtaking traditional diplomatic heavyweights Japan and France.​

Operating 252 posts, it has steadily expanded its network, adding 24 posts since 2017 and 11 posts since the last edition of this Index in 2021. Many of Türkiye’s new posts have been in the Middle East and Africa, reflecting a diplomatic push in regions of interest to Ankara.
Overall, however, Türkiye’s network remains highly Eurocentric with 102 (40%) of its total overseas posts in that region alone, shadowing the sizeable ethnic Turkish diaspora in the Eurozone. Gaps remain in other regions. For example, with the exception of Australia and New Zealand, Türkiye is not represented in the Pacific and has a limited footprint in the Caribbean and Indian Ocean Region.

It's a beautifull day today!

When someone says that the zionist billionaires own the banks and the massmedia and that they support Israël financially, you get canceled.

But this zionist billionaire will enter Hell today and will face a infinite punishment over and over again, together with all those other childkillers and babyrapers from the same tribe.

A very good day. I am seriously thinking to buy steak today to celebrate this.

Global Diplomacy Index places Türkiye in 3rd place, behind China, US

Türkiye is gradually rising in international diplomacy, according to an international index.

Türkiye’s foreign initiatives in Africa and the Middle East have borne fruit, raising the nation’s diplomatic power to third globally, just behind heavyweights China and the U.S., according to the 2024 Global Diplomacy Index by the Lowy Institute of Australia.

The institute said in the index published on Sunday that as a "rising” middle power nation, Türkiye has 'rapidly expanded' its diplomatic networks in a 'more multipolar world.'”

Instead of 3 TB2, send the aircraft carrier Anadolu to the Maldives with a couple of squadrons on board, and the problem of Türkey's lack of influence in the Indian Ocean will be immediately solved.
True, the “solution” to this “problem” will create for Turkey a simply colossal problem called India.
Fortunately, Erdogan is not Don Quixote
