TR Foreign Policy & Geopolitics

[Ryder]

War against pkk is just another separatist war which plagues Turkiye.

Ever since the Ottoman Empire began to collapse we were left with its separarist problems.

The Greeks, Armenians, Arabs, Serbs, Montenegrins, Bosnians, Macedonians and Bulgarians all broke away.

Now the Kurds are trying to break away but this time they are trying to break away a huge chunk of the Turkish homeland.

In Anatolia the Greeks and Armenians tried the same thing.

Now its the Kurds. I think constantly denying this gets us no where to be honest.

Regarding Palestine its funny seeing Palestinians begging us Turks to come back to rule.

While at the same time their flag is literally the Arab revolt flag. Same flag which they revolted against the Ottoman Empire.

While at the same time Zahir Ul Umar is praised as a Palestinian hero against Ottoman Turkish imperialism.

If the Turks began ruling Palestine/Israel again. 100 per cent I can bet that the Palestinians would want the Turks kicked out.

I wont be surprised if the Palestinians and the Zionists put aside their differences to fight against the Turks.

Somehow they have the audacity to declare that Turkiye needs go on its knees for them.

Foreign policy does not work like this. The more we realise this the better.

Both akp and chp no longer care about ethnic Turkish voters.

Hence why they are cucking themselves to the minorities and the Kurds alongside the Arabs.

Because they now realise these people are future demographic voters not the Turks themselves.

Don't they care? There is a rising nationalism and awareness of Turkishness in Turkiye. You can see this even in the most popular names in 2022-2023. Alparslan and Göktuğ are in the top three. Other Turkish names are on a very big rise.

If Akp, Mhp, iyip and Chp do not care about this, they will be thrown into the rubbish bin. Turks will always be the majority and determinant in this country. Anyway, with a proper government, Hdp/Dem is a party that will be closed down. Ethnicist parties have no future. It is not a case of not caring, but of avoiding, manipulating and ignoring the problems.

Events dedicated to the 109th anniversary of the victory in the Battle of Chanaggala were held in special military educational institutions under the jurisdiction of the National Defense University.
The events were attended by representatives of the Ministry of Defense and the National Defense University, military personnel, cadets, teaching staff of special military educational institutions and other guests.
The Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan reports this.

Not gonna lie, it took me a while to understand that Chanaggala is Canakkale.

The videos being spread on turkish social media have people's faces and identity clearly visible, easy way to to get a criminal record and ruin your life. At least it should be blurred!

Right wing using this event to villify Turks and Kurds

Also it's so stupid literally every conflict account in Turkiye posts about this like it's a huge thing, so polarising and emphasizes ethnic conflict

ConflictTR, clash_report etc

Germany is thinking about a “nuclear club”

The German government began to think about acquiring
nuclear weapons. This possibility began to be considered in connection with the increased chances of Donald Trump returning to the White House.

At the moment, two scenarios are in the lead - signing security guarantees with Great Britain and France or purchasing about a thousand nuclear warheads from the United States in order to become a nuclear power. Experts consider the first option to be more realistic.

German politicians and opinion leaders insist that Germany needs to ensure national security without being tied to the United States.

The Russian Kommersant writes about this.
(I should note that I do not trust Russian sources. But...)

In my opinion (this is not just my opinion), it is time for Turkey not only to think in this sense, but also to act, despite the possible negative reaction of some countries. Completely different times are coming in the world.

Russian media is constantly posting about the Turkish angle on this case, it is not a good sign given what happened after there ambassador was assasinated on Turkish soil. Erdogan made concessions that time.

It's a disgrace if Turkiye still doesn't have a nuclear bomb. All this friendship and military co-operation with Pakistan. In our country, where there are specialised and educated people in the nuclear field, there should have been now. It does not necessarily have to be produced in Turkiye. It can be produced in Pakistan.

Edit: Also, there is in Israel. What will happen tomorrow when Iran conducts a nuclear test? Those who play Sunnism in Turkiye will watch in jealousy and fear. The state mind should have already started and even finished its work before it came to this point.

Offtopic, but my 2cents:

1. Komersant source
2. Public in Germany is 100% against nukes, Germany has even closed down perfectly fine nuclear power plants
3. NATO nuclear umbrella

TBH, NATO nuclear umbrella is a joke and wouldn't work in real life. Can you imagine the US, France or England nuking Russia because they nuked a non Nuke possessing Country. Hell no...

Jupiters in Turkey(under Turkish control but with US keeping warhead keys) was enough to make Soviets anxious and it led to the Cuban Missile Crisis and possible nuclear war. It of course ended with US removing the missiles with Soviets deescalating. But in the end US still kept its promise and sent B61s instead.

Threat it created worked to a degree and that's the NATO guarantee. If you're in NATO, you're under American nuclear umbrella, against Russia. We'll see if Putin aims to test that theory.

He better not, deterrence credibility of superpowers relies on their ability and willingness to not back down. And one thing everybody knows for (almost) certainty, United States won't back down. That is what gives NATO's nuclear umbrella credibility.

So far, they did. Not sure about the next 20 years tbh.
