How Turkey is Winning the War for the Black Sea

[@metinbektas758]

When Türkiye shot down the Russian plane, other NATO countries said it was Turkey's problem. Additionally, 4-5 months ago, America opened fire on NATO member Turkey's UAV on the Syrian border. I touched upon very few of the mistakes made by NATO countries against Turkey.

[@bretonneux3389]

Türkiye doesn't do much to have a good image among NATO members. With frequent anti-west, islamist rhetoric from Erdogan, it's easy to forget Türkiye is part of NATO. Türkiye doesn't always make a show of compassion for other NATO members. Plus, when you look at Erdogan talking to crowds like he think himself as the new sultan who's going to free the islamic world from evil West and evil zionists, you wonder why doesn't anyone shouts (but ofc we know why) : then why the fuck you're still in NATO ?

There's always blatant Turkophobia on this channel. By not showing Turkey as a NATO member, and not even mentioning the fact that Turkey has supported Ukraine since 2014, (and was sending billions of dollars worth of arms while Germany offered to send helmets and Macron was cosying up to Putin) is done on purpose to make it seem more nefarious than it is. This was similar to the Nagorno-Karabakh situation, in which you mentioned Armenian's leaving the region after the war, but failed to mention how it was illegally annexed by Armenia and thousands of Azeris were butchered in the 90s, with several million being made refugees. If you honestly want to be a neutral channel, you need to get out of your tiny westoid Anglo-box and views of 10% of the world, and at least attempt to see how the other 90% of the world looks at geopolitics, because this is sloppy and basically propaganda.

[@PROMETEUS.]

- Even during the Cold War Era, Turkey did not allow military drills in BlackSea carried out by NATO with the strategy to avoid provoking Russia. Otherwise this area would turn into something like Persian Gulf today... NATO is sometimes becoming a military organisation to protect itself against (albeit all decisions are supposed to be unanimously taken). - Türkiye helped Georgia with building an air base, which was immediately destroyed by Russia during its annexation of Abhasia and Ossetia. - There is also a pipeline between Samsun (city in BlackSea) through Ceyhan (town in Mediterrenean Sea), which is being used by Russia together with Kazakhtan and Azerbaijan oil exports. Existence of this infrastructure significantly reduces naval demand on the Boshphorus traffic.

@@Turkistani stop acting like mehmet conquered parts of romania for some noble reason - he conquered a lot of Europe and other places for his (ottomans) interest. Romania has never been fully conquered by anyone and we will forever be proud of that. Greeks, Romans, Mongols, Huns, Turks, Russians, Germans and dozens of other invaders got a piece but the spirit always lived on and we got everything back. Vienna would be Istanbul today if it weren't for us and the Serbs (some argue it kinda is but they are mean 😂) Edit: I also appreciate the ottomans way of doing things with provinces they conquered - they left everyone live their life, religion, traditions and everything, they just wanted all the riches and resources. That's a far more elegant way of doing things than russians - who besides taking the riches, they immediately try to russify what they conquer like the maggots they are, with the most horrifying and evil methods possible.

[@Thor_Underdunk_Caballerial]

Before the war I hated Erdogan, but have come to respect his diplomatic skills during the Ukraine war, and it has to be recognised what a tough spot Turkey is in with inflation and other problems. I think it's good that they have been able to use this war as leverage to improve their position and the lives of citizens, however the push towards theocratic Islam, and treatment of Kurd's is not good.

[@billsmoke4919]

Historically, especially during the more secular governments years in the 80s and 90s, treatment of Kurds was indeed terrible - but I think a lot of western "turkiye watchers" are a little bit behind in their details on this. The current Turkish vice president, foreign minister, economics minister and minister of intelligence are all ethnic Kurds, more and more universities and academic institutions are taking up Kurdish as a official language, and millions of conversative, religious Kurds routinely vote for Erdogan and AKP party. I'm politically the opposite of this, but have to admit that Erdogan played diplomacy with millions of Kurds who reject the PKK. I think the issue with a lot of western coverage is that it presumes or represents Turkish Kurds as all being socialist separatists, this couldn't be further from the truth. They are extremely tribal, and in many cases way more conservative and Islamic than you would find in other Turkish regions.

[@Thor_Underdunk_Caballerial]

@@billsmoke4919 Thanks for your input, I'm well off the mark - thought it was illegal to speak Kurdish in Turkey! Will have a proper read through your post when I'm not at work.

[@billsmoke4919]

@@Thor_Underdunk_Caballerial It's not your fault, there's a been a ton of anti-turkish focus groups which put out a lot of fake news about Turkey. Turkey has really close relations with the Kurdish Iraqi government, and they frequently engage in joint military operations against the PKK. To boil down all Kurds in the region to just the PKK is really ignorant, but most western news outlets do it repeatedly. Another thing for you to note, Erdogan is a religious nationalist, but he is not an ethnic nationalist - it's for this reason he reached out a lot more to the conservative Kurdish population and got their support in the process - whereas previous administrations would completely ignore the concept of being a Kurd and say that we're all Turks. Appreciate you having an open mind.

​@@Thor_Underdunk_CaballerialNo it is not illegal. It was illegal when Turkey suffered for constant t**rist attacks for 10 years. It is not made without a reason and currently there is no pressure.
