The Sultan 2.0 will lean heavily to the east
The Sultan 2.0 will lean heavily to the eastInternational Network - June 02, 2023
It is not that Erdogan has a plan to turn east at the expense of the west. It's just that the greatest infrastructure, development and geopolitical projects in the world are all in the east today.
The collective West was dying to bury him – yet another strategic mistake that did not take into account the mood of Turkish voters in deep Anatolia.
Eventually, Recep Tayyip Erdogan succeeded – again. For all his flaws, like an aging neo-Ottoman Sinatra, he did it “my way,” comfortably retaining Turkey's presidency when opponents had all but buried him.
The first order of geopolitical priorities is who will be appointed foreign minister. The main candidate is Ibrahim Kalin, the current press secretary and senior adviser to Erdogan.
Compared to the incumbent Cavusoglu, Kalin can, in theory, be called more pro-Western. However, it is the Sultan who leads the dance. It will be fascinating to watch how Erdogan's Turkey 2.0 handles deepening ties with West Asia and accelerating the Eurasia integration process.
The first immediate priority, from Erdogan's point of view, is to get rid of the "terrorist corridor" in Syria. This means, in practice, ruling over the US-backed Kurdish YPG/PYD, which are effectively Syrian affiliates of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) – which is also the issue at the heart of a possible normalization of the relations with Damascus.
Now that Syria has been enthusiastically welcomed into the Arab League after a 12-year freeze, a Moscow-brokered deal between the Turkish and Syrian presidents, already underway, could represent the ultimate win-win for Erdogan: allowing controlling the Kurds in northern Syria while facilitating the repatriation of around 4 million refugees (tens of thousands will remain, as a source of cheap labour).
The Sultan is at his best when it comes to hedging his bets between East and West. He knows perfectly well how to take advantage of Turkey's status as a key member of NATO - with one of its largest armies, veto power and control over the entrance to the uber-strategic Black Sea. .
And all this while exercising real independence in foreign policy, from Western Asia to the Eastern Mediterranean.
So expect Erdogan 2.0 to remain an inextinguishable source of irritation for the neocons and neoliberals in charge of US foreign policy, as well as their EU vassals, who will never shy away from it. trying to subjugate Ankara to fight the Russia-China-Iran Eurasian integration deal. The sultan knows how to play this game perfectly.

Türkiye facing the American Empire
Türkiye facing the American EmpireVoltairenet - Apr 27, 2023
Three weeks before the Turkish presidential election, the debate is changing.
From for or against the Islamism of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, he becomes for or against the alliance with the United States. The outgoing president is in the process of regaining points in the polls which predicted him losers. From an Islamist, he became a nationalist. It is not known at the moment if this will be enough to allow him to win, but we must expect, if he wins, that he will withdraw Türkiye from NATO.
The polls show President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan losing to the leader of the united opposition, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, in the Turkish presidential election on May 14, 2023. This possible internal reversal is leading the outgoing president to radicalize his position in international matters. Until now, it appeared to be halfway between the United States on one side and Russia and China on the other. From now on, his political party presents him as the savior of Turkish independence in the face of the dark actions of Washington. By contrast, he presents his competitor as a Yankees henchman, which he probably isn't at this point.
The United States is thus paying the price for the attempted assassination of the Turkish president, and particularly the one that led to the failed coup of July 15, 2016, after Ankara decided to build a gas pipeline with Moscow and even bought it from him. weapons. In addition, Washington is blamed, rightly or wrongly, no one knows, for having caused the recent earthquake which cost the lives of tens of thousands of Turks. Public opinion therefore shares a strong anti-American feeling in a country that has given a lot to the United States since the Korean War (the Turkish army won there and fought a decisive battle, saving the United States from disaster) and much suffered from them with the Kurdish drama (the CIA took control of the PKK and encouraged its terrorist actions, thus holding “a gun to the head” of Ankara).
US Ambassador Jeffrey Flake ostensibly took the liberty of visiting candidate Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. Flake is an old-school Republican, a friend of John McCain, like him from Arizona, where they were one of two senators. He howled against Donald Trump's entryism and left the party to get closer to Joe Biden who appointed him ambassador. By showing himself with Kılıçdaroğlu, he thought he was doing well and doing good. Mistake: he gave food for thought to Erdoğan who hastened to declare: “Joe Biden's ambassador is visiting Kemal. Shame on you, think with your head. You are an ambassador. Your interlocutor is the president. How will you stand after that and ask for a meeting with the president? Our doors are closed for him, he can no longer enter. For what ? He needs to know his place”.
On a similar note, Interior Minister and Vice President of the Presidential Party, Süleyman Soylu, publicly condemned the US Ambassador during the earthquake, telling him to take his "dirty hands away from Turkey". ". All Turks noticed that the Westerners had withdrawn their ambassadors from the country in the two days before the disaster, as if they knew about it before it happened, and that they were slow to send relief. Soylu added: “Every US ambassador wonders how he can harm Turkey. It was one of Turkey's greatest misfortunes in years. They gather other ambassadors and try to give them advice. They do the same in Europe so that the US embassies govern Europe”.
The Turks, who are very nationalistic, agree. But the minister is nonetheless still a mafia and an Islamist, publicly denounced by another sponsor, Sedat Peker, now on the run. He revealed in a series of videos posted on the Internet that Süleyman Soylu and the son of Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım used Al-Qaeda soldiers to overthrow the 2016 putschists. He delivered weapons to them via a private military company, SADAT. They were the ones who defeated the insurgent soldiers on the Bosphorus Bridge.

Amazing geopolitical developments
International Network - March 22, 2023
Over the past month we have witnessed some amazing geopolitical developments written 'b' by MoA.
In February, China publicly castigated US hegemony, launched a global security initiative and proposed a peace plan for Ukraine.
On March 10, China brokered an agreement that restored relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
On March 15, Moscow rolled out the red carpet for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Also yesterday, Iran and Iraq signed a security cooperation agreement that will end CIA-sponsored Kurdish activity against Iran.
Also yesterday, King Salman of Saudi Arabia invited the Iranian President for a visit to Riyadh.
For the past 30 years, the United States has treated the Middle East as its backyard. Twenty years ago he illegally invaded Iraq and caused hundreds of thousands of deaths and decades of chaos. Now China, through peaceful means, has changed the balance in the Middle East in just one month.
Today, Chinese President Xi arrived in Moscow for three days of talks with Russian President Putin. An article by President Putin was published in People's Daily while Russian media published a signed article by President Xi.

The absolute crime against humanity
The absolute crime against humanityInternational Network - Feb 19, 2023
List of countries that withdrew their ambassadors from Turkey 24 hours before the earthquake: Canada, United States, Great Britain, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Holland, France?!
Our European governments knew what was about to be perpetrated against the Turkish people. They had been warned, and by whom if not by the Great Ally? The one who had the power to cause the earthquake?
They have made themselves accomplices in the most monstrous crime against humanity that has ever occurred or could occur in history, because it was committed against a defenseless and unsuspecting civilian population, exterminated by dozens of thousands, making in an instant 2 to 3 million homeless, destroying millions of civil infrastructures, civilian houses par excellence, hospitals, roads, to complete the crime against humanity. Add to that the fact that it was committed against a country – Turkey – which is formally allied and against which war had not been declared.
The atrocity of the crime also changes the very concept of "complicity": when the Italian or German government knows that the Great Ally will do the same to you, if you imitate Erdogan in disobedience, killing tens of thousands of your own citizens and destroying millions of their homes and civilian infrastructure, with an earthquake caused at will, but the artificiality of which can not only be plausibly denied, but mocked and even punished as a delusional conspiracy theory inspired by the will of pro-Putin betrayal, your joining the Grand Ally crime is out of sheer terror.
