Erdogan pulls rug from under Putin

guno said:
The reopening of diplomatic ties with Israel is the latest move in Turkey’s regional rapprochement. With it, Ankara aims to bolster national security and its wavering economy.

The August 17 announcement that Israel and Turkey will normalize diplomatic relations and exchange ambassadors comes not long after Turkey improved ties with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The Turkish government has determined that de-escalation with Israel and other regional powers better serves its interests as it confronts economic problems at home and focuses on core national security concerns, such as Kurdish nationalism and relations with Cyprus and Greece.

Turkey used to have a close relationship with Israel. Neither country was close to the Arabs. Lately, Erdogan has been trying to become a leader in the Arabic world, and has turned on Israel.

What has blown my mind is within the last year, we have seen joint air defense between all our sort-of allies in the Middle East. Do you have any idea how difficult that is?

You are- very clearly- an ignorant prick. Turkey has been in NATO since 1952.

Now fuck off and play with your privates in private.

A dollar to a cent that Manservant is now a-looking for a weaker member to bully.

Considering the magnitude of his ignorance, how could he ever have skin thick enough to make a ' political ' post again ?

And this is a political forum.

How is China affected by what Putin is doing in Ukraine?
As far as COVID, they’re just hurting themselves, same as what authoritarian dims wanted (still want?) - exert government power in putting down the masses.

You mean the EU. Turkey has been in NATO since the 1950's.

I really wish the EU would let Turkey join, but they will not. Turkey is too un-European. Oddly enough, Hungary is historically un-European, but they are in. They have been holding out the promise of membership for decades now, and it never is going to happen.

I think the EU is excellent at developing countries, and would make Turkey a much better country.

what's un-european about hungary?

I though europe was a geographical designation.

you seem racist.

It's not uncommon to share intelligence against Iran with Israel by it's Sunni neighbors.
But im not up on any joint security agreements actually in place

I hope you're right about it becoming a "better country". Unfortunately, they've embraced authoritarianism, and it's going to be hard - assholes don't like to give up power.

You had to look it up??? Turkey's membership in NATO has been in the news A LOT. Have you been under a rock?

It must all seem unfair to you. Biden keeps getting victories, and trump kept getting losses. It is almost like Biden is just more competent than trump, or something.

Biden's weakness encouraged Putin's aggression and that scared Finland and Sweden right into NATO. So yes Biden did have an effect on Finland and Sweden's decision to join NATO. If you think the war in Ukraine was worth them joining I guess you could consider it a victory for Biden but I wouldn't.
