America. Our allies.

More our fault then theirs to be honest

Tom Barrack's recent statements have caused some concern.

He has previously mentioned that Türkiye should veer away from being a nation state. And now his statements point towards a multi-ethnic, multi-religious model for Türkiye.

I believe Ümit Özdağ mentioned this years ago, he called AKP a partner of a pan-Abrahamic order. That might sound cultish, but really what it means is a middle east that's divided and controlled by pro-US leadership. Hence why we removed Assad, and why the US attacked Iran. It's all pretty obvious and out in the open, yet there's still a lot of people who think we're an independent actor.

His statements cause more concern among the Zionists, radical Kurdists, Armenians and Greeks as far as I can see.

They think he is a Turkish asset that is bringing American policies in line with Türkiye.

For example:

He has an unorthodox -yet correct IMO- approach to the Middle East and he doesn't talk diplomatically -he's not a diplomat anyways. That's why his statements can be disturbing for many parties. However, I believe his words and actions have been extremely pro-Türkiye so far. He facilitated the collapse of the so-called SDF and indirectly criticized Israel in many cases.

I personally agree with many of his observations & vision about the Middle East and Türkiye.

Hakan Fidan also recently mentioned that he wishes to add Israel into a bloc after the war is finished

He counted some requirements for this to be achieved. Such as acceptance of Palestian statehood by Israel -which is not going to happen. That's giving middle finger in diplomatic language.
