TR Foreign Policy & Geopolitics

We should have annexed 100% of the island back then. Our weakest point is that we put ourselves in reserve under pressure.

We should have annexed 100% of the island back then. Our weakest point is that we put ourselves in reserve under pressure.

What pressure? International politics works the way those who bark the loudest are like Greece/Cyprus and France. They are under a lot of pressure, if it wasn't for that they would stay cool all the time, they don't because they have no real leverage so they are looking for some.
France has lost a lot of influence in North and Central Africa + Middle East.
Greece and Cyprus are afraid because they are facing a Turkey that can not only defend itself politically and militarily, but can also exert pressure politically, militarily and asymmetrically on other EU countries.
For example, there is no unified EU policy against Turkey, the political and economic interests are much greater than the barking of Greece/Cyprus & France, and the demand for tougher measures against Turkey.
Turkey has close economic relations with many EU countries including major countries such as Spain, Italy and Germany, the latter with an annual bilateral trade volume of 55-60 billion US dollars and rising.
In the overall trade relationship between EU <-> Turkey, Turkey ranks 5th after USA, China, UK and Switzerland.
So we are talking about a certain market power and money and that is good money that the countries do not want to lose.

The top trading partners of the European Union (EU) in 2023, based on total trade volume (exports plus imports), are:

1. United States: Accounts for 17% of the EU's total trade volume.

2. China: Represents 15% of the EU's trade.

3. United Kingdom: Accounts for 10% of the EU's trade volume.

4. Switzerland: Represents 6% of the EU's trade.

5. Turkey: Accounts for 4% of the EU's total trade.

These figures highlight the key countries in trade relations with the EU. For the most current data, it is recommended to check updated reports from relevant statistical agencies.

Greece/Cyprus with France cannot compensate for this or offer EU Countries alternatives that trade with Turkey.

Turkey has important tools, the first weapon is the bilateral trade which is very important for the EU but also for Turkey.

The second weapon is the migration policy, sometimes I believe that Turkey has politically consciously taken in Syrians to use this weapon against the EU. The effects would be catastrophic, only right-wing populist governments would win, migration policy is the first priority for all EU countries.
The EU countries would be divided and the disintegration of the EU would even be accelerated.

The third weapon is Turkey's soft and hard power in the Middle East, EU, Africa and partly the Far East with armaments, media and economic aid.

The fourth weapon is that Turkey will be or wants to be an energy and trade hub in the future.
As a transit country, it would even have additional screws where it could exert pressure.

I doubt that they will be able to enforce this, it would end up in a war and Turkey would finally turn away from the West.
But let's assume that the EU & USA are or would be behind the Greek/Cypriot plan both politically and militarily.
Turkey would ask China/Russia (with a lot of concessions) for a permanent presence in the Mediterranean/Black Sea.
If Chinese aircraft carriers come with fighter planes and nuclear weapons, you would have a stalemate where ultimately all parties would lose especially Turkey, Greece and the EU.
The Americans won't go to war against a nuclear country, even if they could/would defeat China/Russia/North Korea together with the EU, the price of which would be nuclear fallout worldwide.
Nobody would risk that for an insignificant country called Greece/Cyprus just because their cunt is itching to be fucked again.

If we have 200 modernized F16 and 300 hundred Kaan supported with co-operable Anka4 and twin motor Kizilelma even US and Europe together wont think of attacking us for such a secondary issue like Cyprus. A diplomatic agreement will be reached. US will only attack us if we strike Israel. We should strengthen our army such that we dont need any help from China. Russia I am not even mentioning.

 

[AlperTunga]

We also need more submarines than planned. Given the speed of Istif building we should add another batch of four. Alternatively we should arm more heavily the OPVs with upgraded radars.

If you have 300 KAAN's why would you need 200 F-16's?
Btw,by the time we have 300 KAAN's the F-16's will be obsolete.

Try being realistic,

 

[AlperTunga]

I should have written "If we had...". But once we begin production of Kaan in 2030s we should not produce 24 of them in a year as Temel Kotil said. Once we know how to produce them, why is it that difficult to double the production rate? With that rate we will produce 240 of them in 5 years. We have to understand that we are now in a new global regime in which countries tend to use more hard power than diplomacy, so we have to invest more. We have to finish 6 MILDENs, 10 STM mini submarines by 2035, as well as 200 KAANs by that time. Steal dome should be operational with all its elements including effective ballistic missile interception capability. If we are pressured soon by Greece backed by US/France we should not escalate too much but also show restrained opposition as well as try to gain time by negotiations etc. At the background we should improve our defences and striking capability like there is no tomorrow.

"Try being realistic": All of what I state above is doable and realistic, we just need to set priorities, collect taxes more efficiently, and crush corruption in the country (including seizure of all Audi A8s and similar luxury cars from gov officials). Also no canal Istanbul project.

We should have always some -100 airplanes for cheap duties , If we need to bomb terrorist base at iraq / syria of course we will use cheaper f16 fighter and not 5gen to bomb those terrorist rats

And what do we do with the hunderds of UCAV's?

 

[BalkanTurk90]

And what do we do with the hunderds of UCAV's?

Terrorists are not stupid , they mostly nowdays in syria and iraq are using tunnels and bunkers where 10-100kg bombs are useless and there needs 1+ ton bombs that only fighter aircraft can carry for now . Not to mention Akinci that can carry it but with resctricted speed ,range etc etc

Just check those 1000kg NEB bunker buster bombs and the SOM-J that can penetrate concrete bunkers Akinci can carry.

Akinci can easily carry 3 x 500kg bunker buster bombs under its belly.
Below with a NEB that weighs total of 1360kg , when powered by 2 x 750HP PT6 engines.

There was a 850HP PT6 engine used in Akinci C variant. That will allow the drone to perform even better.

Biggest issue right now is that the Iranians have given these bastards 358 missiles, we've lost a number of drones to these. Eventually we're going to need to cut the flow, but I'm afraid we would need to destroy the factories themselves to achieve that.

New achievement unlocked: neo-mughalism

So this leaves only Greater Azerbaijan for the return of the 3 gunpowder empires era. It makes me laugh every time these orientalist idiots, especially the turkophobic ones, make up elements out of their ass. The irony is that the author's foster family probably has a much higher percentage of genetic affinity to pre-Turkic-Mongolic tribes than an ordinary Pakistani living in Pakistan today. Jokes aside, anyone with any seriousness about international politics knows that people like Rubin are just puppets with wind-up arms and talk when you insert a coin, just social media charlatans.

Greece needs to stop thinking that it owns every system it buys with its ass and decides to whom it can be sold.

I am not sure. But we asked for Meteor with the Eurofighters we ordered.

And Greece is pressuring France again. They summoned the French ambassador.

For Greece, it is contradictory for a manufacturing country to sell weapons systems to two countries that have differences between them.
