Coming to here from the TurAF topic, going to requote this part.
"Önümüzdeki birkaç ay içinde iki liderimiz ve iki dışişleri bakanımız arasında bir yeni bir buluşmayı, ikili gündemin, beş yıldır tartışılan tüm bu konuların yenilendiğini göreceksiniz. F35, F16, S400'ler, yaptırımlar, gümrük vergileri gibi şeyler bizim misyonumuzun ikincil unsurları. Sanırım ilk kez, ABD ve Türkiye'nin sadece savunma ortakları olmak yerine, 'atağa geçen ortaklar olalım' diyen bir taahhüdü var."
"In the next few months you will see a new meeting between our two leaders and our two foreign ministers, a renewal of the bilateral agenda, of all these issues that have been discussed for five years. Things like F35, F16, S400s, sanctions, tariffs are secondary to our mission. I think for the first time, for the first time, the United States and Turkey have a commitment that says 'let's be partners on the offensive' rather than just defense partners."
I'm more interested in that last sentence, to be "partners that go on the offensive" or it can be read as "let's act together".
That is 50% exciting, and 50% scary. US doesn't have equal partners, that's now how they view the world. They are happy with leaving countries be in their small worlds but unless you're Israel, you don't get to pull US to the direction you want to go.
That could only mean that this very rarely talked about happenstances that's been going on since september with PKK, Syria, Gaza, Israel and Iran may be more linked together than we think. Where are we being led to? Why do I have a feeling that we won't like it?
Should we expect a Zaihanist "Turkey will rule MENAT for US and will keep Israel safe as the regional hegemon" or "be happy with where you stand and take Libya as prize or I unleash my attack dog netanyahu on you."?

Ain't no such thing as a free lunch
Dito
That's not what he said at all.

Adding on the actual interview in original language and Turkish subs. Imploring everyone to watch this to see where we are potentially heading.
Whatever the ambassador said, we do want to maximize our strength and our sphere of influence.
That is criminal. It is totally against our constitution.
To late for that,the first order to make peace with the PKK is already done.
I am ready to take some heat, but I will write anyway.
