TR Foreign Policy & Geopolitics

Usual fucking Umtards in the comments crying about Ataturk.

The Umtards don't realise that Ataturks success at defeating the occupiers inspired the entire world that they could succeed against their European oppressors. Ataturk back then was a massive symbol of hope for the non-white man to throw out the white oppressor. I point out "white" not for racist purposes, but because back then a big justification by the Europeans to enslave the non-white world was that they were racially superior.

Muslims should learn about what the Europeans did to their ancestors before talking shit about Turkish heroes.

"He destroyed the Caliphate!"

Have these morons ever opened a history book and realized that the reason that the Caliphate was abolished was because nobody wanted to f**king lead it? By the time Ataturk established the Republic, it was a purely ceremonial position with even less power than a random Catholic bishop that nobody in the wider Muslim world listened to. But who am I kidding, those aren't real accounts, they are just bots or likely trolls on foreign payroll. Likely Gulf monarchs and their masters who really, really want the Gulf tyrants to be the central "authority" on Sunni Islam worldwide.

You only have to watch speakers corner on youtube to see that these people actually exist in the wild

The Swiss publication Die Weltwoche also joined in the hymns of praise for Erdogan.



(Erdogan's photo should have been here.
But considering the large number of his opponents
on the forum, I didn't publish it )




"Ingenious ability to avoid falling out with any party: statesman Erdogan"


Francis Pike
"Erdogan the Great

The Turkish president masterfully juggles power, religion, the economy, and global politics. He could go down in history as his country's great reformer.
Mehmed the Conqueror (1444–1481), the Ottoman ruler who sealed the end of the Byzantine Empire; Suleyman the Magnificent (1520–1566), the Sultan of Turkey's Golden Age; Selim the Cruel (1512–1520), who wrested the Caliphate from the Egyptian Mamluks in 1517; and Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (1923–1938), who won the Turkish War of Independence in 1921 and subsequently secularized the country—these are Turkey's great historical rulers. Will its current president, Recep Tayyib Erdogan, also be on this list? Well, maybe. Longevity often goes hand in hand with greatness. And Erdogan, who is now in his 23rd year in power...»
"PRESIDENT ERDOGAN HAS SHOWED THAT HE IS NOT A PARTNER TO BE UNDERESTIMATED," the article says.

Erdogan der Grosse: Der türkische Präsident jongliert virtuos mit Macht, Religion, Wirtschaft und Weltpolitik. Er könnte als grosser Erneuerer seines Landes in die Geschichte eingehen

Mehmed der Eroberer (1444–1481), der ottomanische Herrscher, der das Ende des Byzantinischen Reichs besiegelte; Süleyman der Prächtige (1520–1566), der Sultan des Goldenen Zeitalters der Türkei; Selim der Grausame (1512–1520), der 1517 den ägyptischen Mamluken das Kalifat entwand; und Mustafa...

50+ Muslim majority nations are all welcome to declare themselves the new caliphate, even isis did it. But the reality is the caliphate means nothing without economic, political and military power behind it.

The first problem isn't that a "caliph" doesn't exist, the real problem is that no Muslim majority nation is anywhere near being a super power. If Turkiye was a super power, by all means lets claim the title of caliph too. Back then Ottoman sultans were Khans, Emperors, Padishahs, endless titles they would claim for themselves, but it only means something if there is power behind it.

Muslims nations are far too weak and far too technologically and economically backward to bring any weight to caliph claims.

Imagine your going to declare yourself caliph of the Islamic world while your airforce relies on American fighter jets. Ridiculous.
