According to a report prepared by 5 senators from the French Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee who visited Turkiye, TR wants to give support the 6th generation fighter jet program “FCAS”


The US moves that point to isolationism and its desire to re-evaluate Canada and Greenland issues in line with its own interests are creating a cold shower in the Franco political understanding, which could be a lever for Turkish-French rapprochement.

I think the US is in the process of becoming the new Russia. They'll become less trustworthy, their safety standards have dropped and will continue to, it'll all continue to rot from within until it becomes an isolated power.

The future partner for Europe will be the Organization of Turkic States. I expect cooperation all the way from North Africa to Central Asia to stop the refugee crisis, defence cooperation, etc.

If Trump manages to piss off Europe a lot, meanwhile Türkiye gets a better leader, we could see a multipolar world that looks like this:

China-Russia-Iran

USA-UK-AUS

OTS-EU-possibily Japan and Korea

This would piss off a lot of people, but I think it would benefit this planet.

When the components of the OTS are physically bordering countries, with Central Asia gaining access to the open seas through the Turkish navy, the OTS is certainly poised to become a power center, which ironically will create a useful paradigm for world peace as it will create a buffer zone between traditional blocs that will avoid a clash of powers. Intermediate Region is an east-west synthesis. We are closer to the east than the west, and closer to the west than the east. I don't want to babble too much because it's off-topic, but I think there are many actors in the world, both from the west and the east, who are trying to take a position that is compatible with this new paradigm that is emerging. What I am saying is not nonsense like neo-Ottomanism, but that we can have a bigger role in creating a world order in the spirit of the times than many Turks imagine.

Neo Ottoman Empire is just a boogeyman. Turkiye defending its interests and being more proactive pisses a lot people off hence why the shitty tags.

Turkiye is a regional power its pretty retarded to think it will sit back and do nothing. Turkiye tried it numerous times instead its houses got burnt.

They even tried to be peaceful with Pkk, isis and Al qaeda instead they took advantage of it to attack Turkiye. Even the Taliban is acting hostile to Turkiye.

Everytime you give an olive branch to them they spit on it. Same with Russia, Iran, Greece and Armenia.

Fahrettin Altun's tweet on German president's visit. Apologies for having to share him. Defence cooperation seems to be the main agenda, interestingly.

"During the meetings to be held within the scope of the visit, Turkey-Germany relations will be discussed in all its dimensions, especially cooperation in the field of defense industry. In this context, the situation of the Turkish community in Germany will also be on the agenda.

It is also envisaged to exchange views on Turkey-EU relations and current regional issues."

Our greatest and most important goals in 2025/2026 should be:

1.- Closing the 100 KAAN’s deal with Saudi Arabia.

2.- Establishing the Zangezur Corridor.

3.- Signing a EEZ with Syria.

4.- Upgrading the EU Customs Union.

5.- Mass production of Altay.

How are you going to sell 100 Kaans when the Jet is not ready yet.

Taking refugees in is one thing they are delivering Gaza on a silver plate to Israel.
Honestly, by now I don't give a shit about more than half of the Arab states, why should Turkey care? The Arabs deserve it, they have been cheated by the West several times and they were happy when Lawrence of Arabia promoted their supposed independence. Let them solve it, they have their Arab League which is still a laughing stock today.

Baykar's Piaggio move has angered Greece! Protest
Başak Berber10 February 2025 1 minute reading time

Greece is preparing a dossier to protest Italy's defense deal with Turkey. Athens is also demanding that European Union (EU) partners have a say in defense deals with Turkey.

Following efforts to interfere in Turkey's procurement of the Meteor Airborne Missile, Greece is now taking steps against Italy. According to the Greek newspaper Kathimerini, the Greek government has filed a protest on the grounds that it was not informed in advance about the transfer of Piaggio Aerospace to Baykar.

France-Turkey Talks
The sale of the Meteor missiles was discussed between Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and French President Emmanuel Macron at the informal EU summit in Brussels last Tuesday. After the meeting, Macron said that the deal was not guaranteed to be finalized, adding that "the UK holds the 'key' to France's missile sale."

It was stated that France's missile sale to Turkey will not affect the defense cooperation with Greece, while it was stated that the program for Turkey is progressing normally. It was also emphasized that Greece's purchase of Rafale fighter jets and frigates would not be affected by these agreements.

Protest against Italy
In the news article published in Kathimerini newspaper, the following statements were made regarding the sale of Piaggio Aerospace to BAYKAR "Italy has not informed other EU countries about the foreign investment in Baykar, contrary to European Union Regulation 2019/452. The European Commission and other member states consider this to be a matter of concern. Italy's aim to expand its cooperation with Baykar, especially through large companies such as Leonardo, is also noteworthy."

These fools as if they can deny the sovereignty of Italy what it may or may not do. Greece has no say at all in the EU, and certainly not in the strategic legislative decisions of the respective countries.

I'm more confused as to why Greece thinks it should be given a full run-down whenever a European country so much as breathes in Turkiye's general direction.

The problem isnt in the arabs. Honestly, none cares much about the arabs
The main problem is in Israel. If Israel gets Gaza, they will concentrate on Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon. With the recent annexation of Syrian lands by Israel, Israel controls all the high rise lands overlooking both Syria and Jordan. In other words, in the future, Israeli annexation of such lands will be easier. Israel is now only less than 20 km from Syria's capital.... Damascus. When Syria falls, Turkey is next. I know many will make fun of my statements but I believe that the Greater Israel project is real and they already instilled divisions within the whole Med East

What I want to say is, even if we dont Like the Arabs, Turkey's security depends on Syria and other countries acting as buffer states between it and Israel and the first of such lands is Gaza and the palestinian issue

A farce is happening rn
Trump offers the F35 to India; the same nation that has around 7 S400 systems in service. It was the same orange-faced ass**le (Trump) who kicked Turkey out of the F35 program for allegedly buying a single S400 AD system and triggering CAATSA sanctions for the "fact" that the S400 may steal the F35 signature and send its secrets to Russia

With every passing day, it is revealed once again, that the reason Turkey is being sanctioned by the West is because they are slowly becoming independent and strong by themselves without bending the knee to the Western masters

I really wonder where are those who said that Turkey's acquisition of the S400 is stupid as it is the source of tensions with the US rn? If Turkey was gonna get sanctioned anyway, then at least it should buy what it wants to protect its security

S400 is a stupid buy. Seriously fck the Americans and their double standards.

Turkiye needs nuclear weapons. Trump the retard is gonna sell Ukraine out. Ukrainians are now regret giving up their nukes.

From now on the road is clear never rely on another country for your defence.
