Hey thx, wanted to post this I remembered:
Also since these reports the traffic of visits by Israeli military committees and high-ranking officials to Russia has exploded. Seems like they're trying to appease Putin to try to block the deepening military technology ties between Iran and Russia. It's really interesting that nobody asks why Iran doesn't buy any major military equipment from either Russia and China (until very recent talks of S-400 and Su-35 after Ukr-Rus war forced clearer delineation) except missile tech which I think was transferred from Libya and North Korea and not directly from China or Russia.
Russia also has been running very smart propaganda campaigns & operations inside Israel akin to its advocacy for AfD, Fratelli d'Italia and Front National and for polarization inside several European countries which they probably calcualte might lead to break from status quo alignment with U.S, along with weakening them internally.
Shomrim, an Israeli offshoot of Center for Media and Democracy (itself an offshoot of Soros' Open Society Foundations), report here is fascinating:
Shomrim - Russia’s Influence Campaign in Israel: Creating New Party, Stoking Social Discord, Fueling Arab Discontent, and Straining Foreign Relations
Leaked documents from the company behind a Kremlin global disinformation campaign provide a rare glimpse into the shadow war that Russia is waging against Israel. According to the leaked documents, the Russians did not stop at spreading incendiary fake news; they also planned to open an office...

It almost guarantees the same operations are being conducted in Turkey to polarize the country more and create tensions from both the Islamist and the Kemalist camp, finding fault-lines along which both can be shaken. It's another sign of decline of the U.S. intelligentsia in comparison to the cold war years, where they had a strong hold on the narratives. They have been quite passive in their handling of rising anti-Americanism in certain European demographics and in our country also. There's almost no effort.

Biden offers full US support to Yunus-led interim govt
Dr Yunus-Biden meeting to help take Dhaka-Washington ties to new level, says CA's press secretary
The meeting was unprecedented. It is really good to have this degree of US support at this critical time. There is an incentive for going beyond diplomatic backing at the world stage or the financial grant that they just singed off. They are offering technical expertise and ready to share institutional knowledge to support the six major reform initiatives that has been undertaken. (Concerning election system, police administration, judiciary, anti-corruption commission, public administration, and the constitution.) I mean, a distinguished Bangladeshi-American Illinois university professor (who is also involved with Atlantic council) has been appointed as the head of constitution reform commission by the Interim government. I think US policy makers understood the significant of this revolution and the rare opportunity of a second Republic level reset for Bangladesh. Being able to influence that process will determine to an extent how this country operate in the future. So, they jumped right in with what they got.
Bangladesh's relevance on the world stage would increase proportionally to its economic growth. Which set to increase significantly this decade and the next. These reforms, if successful will put it right back on the track. Right now by investing directly in these mega reforms initiatives of the Revolutionary government, United States is trying to score a long term gain for their Indo-Pacific strategy. And for all of it, they couldn't ask for a better person in BD. Professor Yunus being a personal friend of Hillary Clinton and US senators helps a lot.

President Erdogan met with Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan in Turkevi in New York
...and gave him a book (let him study
)
Pashinyan was so happy, as if Erdogan had given him not a book, but Karabakh

“In New York, Erdogan met with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
The negotiations took place in the Turkic language.
...Some experts in Ankara are convinced that the election of an ethnic Azerbaijani from Tabriz as Iran’s president could become a fateful moment in the politics of Turkey, Azerbaijan and Iran.
...Judging by the fact that Pezeshkian often emphasizes his Turkic origins, and also recently announced the importance of a serious turn in Iranian-Turkish relations, this conclusion has a real basis.
But there is another group of Turkish experts, according to whom the election of Pezeshkian, conventionally called a representative of the reformist wing, will not have any significant impact on Iran’s foreign policy,” writes Haqqin az.
In short, it is clear that nothing is clear yet.
However, it is indisputable that a rapprochement between these two states will seriously affect not only Middle Eastern, but also global geopolitics.

The western media is going to be angling the increase cooperation of Turkic states as something counter to Russia/China. Even if we have common heritage it's difficult to see it anything but a cooperation that will help the involved countries grow and develop into their own sphere.
The huge geography it's spanning over can have extreme economic reach and benefits to the involved parties.
Of course countries that are interested in being the big boi in the neighbourhood wouldn't want any of their neighbours becoming strong and independent.
Look at the size of Kazakhstan and with a small population of 20 million it's a wonder that they're able to protect their own lands from the big fuckers in the neighbourhood. I think it's because they've been ignored until now. But that won't continue.
So increasing cooperation and helping each other and being open about these things will make it that much more difficult for western media to manipulate what is going on.
They will angle it, and spread fake news and promote their own angling and suppress the right answers, but that is war just as much as using real weapons.
Having Satellite coverage and spreading our own news network would be best answer to this kind of war.
