Before thinking about the endgame we have to realize that Israel conspired to usurp KKTC rights in Eastern Mediteranean.
They're fully onboard future Belgian, French, Swedish, German ships fishing all the fish 6 km away from Turkish shores according to Sevilla map.
Each day they're dropping bombs further north, today only 80 minutes of car-drive away from Turkish border.
Now you can argue it is all Erdogan's fault, he's bad Islamist pretending Israel is ruled by kumbaya Greta Thunberg kind of world savers.
Israel's establishment is filled with Jewish Talibans and their demographic trajectory will make them less secular each passing month.
There's panic in Israel due to detoriating USA superpower status in the world, so they threw all morale consideration away to make facts on the ground, expands as much as possible as long as USA still has the upper hand against China and remains sole Superpower.
I also reject posts arguing Turkey is becoming Iran.
Iranian society is becoming less Mullah-Iran.
Israel is turning Jewish-Mullah. Society and establishment.
You can realize and acknowledge what's happening despite hating Erdogan.
These are not your friends.
There's no such thing as morals in geopolitics, only winners and losers. You think the alies were actually the good guys in WW1/WW2? No, but they won. You think the USA was the good guy in the cold war? No, but it was the Soviet Union that collapsed. You think Israel is the good guy in this current conflict? No but they will also win.
If you are thinking in terms of morals and emotions, you've already lost the war.
I find the idea that Israel is becoming some kind of backwards Jewish version of Afghanistan/Iran hilarious. Yes just like Islam, their religion is backwards, but it doesn't even matter because they don't let dogmas hold them back, they've probably broken all rules of their religion just to gain power. Furthermore, their language, religion and culture are all their's. Jewish identity is intertwined with the state of Israel. The same can't be said for Türkiye or Iran, where half the population wants to follow an Arab religion and the other half wants to go back to their roots.
I'm sorry to say but neither Türkiye nor Iran will prosper under Islamist rule. Both countries are heavily handicapped. Even look at the gulf countries who are rapidly secularizing. They've exported their religion for so long and now they're watching the fireworks from a safe distance.
I'd also like to add that the USA had it's dirty hands in Islamizing a lot of countries, most likely for the benefit of Israel. You can find declassified documents that mention this, one of them even mentioned that they wanted to remove secularist generals from the Turkish military and install a "mild" Islamist regime which would be better for US interests. What do you all think FETÖ and tarikats were for?
I'm hoping for early elections

I don't even know what to say anymore, it's like we are purposely trying to become Iran 2.0, meanwhile Arab countries don't give a shit about Israel. Truth is it's all for domestic consumption. Our foreign policy is a JOKE.
