Yes, you are right. Both Iran and Turkiye as viewed as Islamist governments and a threat to America's oppression of the Muslim world. They'd want to get rid of these governments. But I think Iran is the last major fight they'll pick in the Middle East. Bomb Saudi and Emirati regimes and you've...

yeah, you got that: regime change is the goal. Even if Iran dismantles its nuclear program to the ground and ends all support to its militias region-wide, the US will still keep trying to overthrow the Iranian governmen. Their problem isn't missiles or nukes but the rulers in Iran.

You have point. I also thought so a few days back, but several things make reject the idea that Trump is bluffing. First, Iran's air defense systems are almost gone. I heard 150 Israeli planes blew up targets in Iran. They destroyed mostly anti-aircraft systems and missile manufacturing sites...

Very bad suggestion. It is not in Turkiye's interest for iran to be invaded or the government toppled. The US is Turkiye's greatest enemy today. Check opinion polls on the threat perception of the majority of Turks and you'll find they are more concerned about America destabilizing Turkiye than...

I agree with most of your views except when you say israel, not Turkiye has time on its side. Israel is actually in a race against time in Syria. It has to occupy, not bomb Palmyra to prevent a Turkish airbase there. Turkiye has the facilities and resources to rapidly build airbases from the...

Well said. A strategy of well-defended expansion. Build a military base close to the Turkish border. Then build one father away under the protection of the former, and so on. By the time they reach Palmyra, Turkish forces have already built a strong backup and protective force right up to...

I think he meant Taliban-style government in dealing with corruption.

Who put that guy incharge of the Central Bank? Inflation in Turkiye is due to Western economic attacks. It's very straightforward to figure out. Contrast Erdogan's performance a decade or so ago and his performance today. He literally built todays mordern prosperous Turkiye. Opponets will...

There is a notion called Western democracy. This is democracy that doesn't threaten Western interests. That's what Western governments and most of their population mean when they talk about democracy.

I want Muslims to liberate their lands from Western occupation, and Erdogan's foreign policies are in line with this wish. How can majority of Turks see Erdogan as the worst president and yet they voted for him just about two years ago? If anything, Turkiye's economy has improved since then...

By "We" I mean Muslims. In the Quran, specifically in Suraturl Baqara, Allah says, "La Ikraha fiddeen", which means there is NO compulsion in religion. No one should be compelled to join Islam or any religion. Allah also says in Suratul Kafiruun, "Lakum dinukum wal yadieen", which means: "To you...

Atatürk is a respected personality and a hero because of the great achievements he made for Turkiye. No one can deny this. But so too is Erdogan. Only that Erdogan is Atatürk's ideological opposite. Atatürk made Turks lead Turkiye. Erdogan wants to make Turks lead Turkiye and the Muslim world...

That's because when you talk about democracy, there's usually this implicit notion that you are refering to Western democracy. The first Muslim caliph or world leader was chosen in a democratic fashion.

I agree, Turkiye is "currently" a secular democracy. But I disagree that it isn't bound to change. Yes, Turkiye is a Muslim-majority country not a Muslim country. No Shariah law for Turkiye in the foreseeable future. Yes, I agree. You will not and never will be part of Ummah politics? My...

This is exactly why leaders like Erdogan are God's gift to the oppressed. Turkiye is more talented than Israel. I trust the Turks to come up with an effective game plan. I think this is what will likely happen. Erdogan stabilizes the protests in Turkiye. He tells Syria's leaders to be patient...
