I am following the Israeli media. They are not at all happy about our foothold in Somalia. That explains why they took this strategic decision. They want to encircle and suffocate Turkey. I am angry that we have not been able to resolve that Somaliland issue so far. Somaliland is much more strategic than Somalia itself. Just like in Libya we only half did it there. Because we dont use hard power enough. It was right to use soft power in Somalia but against the insurgence from Somaliland we should have responded very harshly. Only soft power, training locals etc. gdoes not bring much if we dont complement it with determined action of our own forces if needed. And whenever they get involved we should make sure the other side suffers such losses that no one dares to challenge us once we set foot somewhere. And if we are not ready to do some sacrifices in such cases we should just stay within our borders!
Its a limitation of power. Have your own air force, hundreds of autonomous fighter drones and a massive collection of other military tools and its a different proposition. Isreal has a top tier military thanks to endless goy support and politically she can commit open genocide and she receives no sanctions, no embargoes, no threats of military action etc.
This is why i say we are at a point now where we really need 10 to 20 years, then by all means lets play this direct and open war game. Turkiye has to do what she can to a point to limit the designs against her during this period, like the kurdistan project, the greek french/isreali alliance. The Russian instigations, the american/EU support for all of our adversaries, etc.
Right now Turkiye is going to have to bite the bullet, but if there was ever a time for strategic patience, its right now. Every single one of enemies knows what coming. A limited Shitty bunch of inaccurate ballistic missiles that had most of the western world working to intercept was enough to make the Isrealis shit their little genocidal panties. Play it smart now, war is coming that is 100% certain since they wish to dominate the region and Turks never let anyone dominate anything without war first.
Culturally in order for this war to truly be fought the way it needs to be fought, Turkish identity needs to elevated. Nationalism among the Turks must be reinforced to such a degree that when the war comes every Turk will find himself ready to make the required sacrifice. Islam must be used to bring all the non-Turk Muslims into the sphere of the Turks, it must not be used to allow minorities who hates Turks, who side with the enemy to raise themselves above the position of the Turks and then to beat him down with their "piety".
War is 100% coming, but for the Turks its better it comes later then sooner. But if you look at our history massive alliances forming against us and the Turk being able to overcome them is nothing new.
The enemy is like a vampire, you have to invite him in before he can harm you. The enemy right now and arguably since the onset of the syrian civil war has been hoping that Turkiye falls into their traps.
Let me give one example, back when davidson was working the americans were implying that Turkiye had to right to intervene to defend herself. Basically egging Turkiye on to invade Syria. Davidson kept saying that Turkiye is happy to put assad to bed provided Turkiye is given authorisation by the UN security council and if not by them then by NATO herself. The americans wouldn't provide neither. Because the plan was for Turkiye to enter Syria the way Saddam entered Kuwait and then they would have used it as an excuse to call us an invader and then attack us, or at the very least drag us into a quagmire we can not easily leave.
If you pay attention to everything that happened over Syria, the americans put many "fatal" traps in front of Turkiye and fortunately none were stepped on. For all of the dumb shit erdogan does, he never does anything that will risk his throne, that narcissistic character of his, his love of power, wealth and status means he's relatively risk adverse. Most of the time he will only act when he realises to not act is more dangerous.
