I want you to know that you missed the most important aspect of Turkey right now. Right now the most important issue with Turkey is that Erdogan just got kicked out of office 2 days ago. Erdogan lowered the turkey version of the federal funds rate and let inflation absolutely destroy his own currency, and he got reelected 1 time, but not again. So the real question for Turkey is well, are they going to continue this madness with interest rates, are they going to continue this craziness with expansion? are they going to continue to block the bosphorus to Russian ships? are they going to continue funneling Russian oil out? are they going to continue sending bayractars to Ukraine? are they going to continue preventing the wars in azerbaijan? Turkey also had one military supply contract with Russia.... I forget what they were supplying, and don't forget the pipelines that are always an issue.

[@The-Enemy-Medic]

Reading up on European wars of the time before Ottoman conquest, armies of nobles had skirmishes, 200 to 500 people died and one side retreats. With Seljuks first, and Ottomans second, there were no "GG you got good shield formation" Ottoman conventional warfare forced heavy cavalry and attempted to outnumber and totally surround the enemy shield wall/pike formation. Retreat was not an option because of the use of Horse archers, line breakers and surround strategies like Kurt kapan that Turks used. Which is probably why wars got serious, nobles made alliances and stopped fighting each other. There was a big common enemy, that did not allow any military presence to exist in it's borders. Big or small.

You talk about terrorists as Kurds and this is wrong. Terrorism and terrorists have no religion, language or race. Even if there are Turks among them, this result does not change. Moreover, the community that you claim we could not defeat is supported by countries whose aim is to establish the great state of Israel in the Middle East. They are trying to wage a guerrilla war with us, the only regular army in the world that has won a guerrilla war. We can't kill them all because they don't come out against us en masse, but this is nothing but a war they can never win.

France was THE MAIN SUPPORTER of Hafter the Maniac in Libya. France, Russia, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran, Greece were all on the same side together with Hafter. On the other hand, Tripoli Government ONLY HAD Turkey on their side as the ONLY SUPPORTER. Hafter was around the city Tripoli besieging it like 1 year and after Turkish intervention Turkish-backed forces almost reached to their so-called capital Bengazi after besieging Misrata, then France summoned the UN Security Council etc Turkey and Turkish-backed Libyan government stopped. S-400s were bought because the US did not sell their Patriots to Turkey in 2010s. Turkey produced its own long-range air defense system now and the US did not give the F-35s that were jointly produced and bought by Turkey, the US does not give the money that Turkey has paid to buy F-35s back to Turkey as well so Turkish made stealth jets are now in production, in 2028, a fighter jet equal or better than F-22s would be fully produced and ready for service, like tens of them in 2028, it is called TFX-MMU but nicknamed KAAN which means "khagan" in Turkish. Turkey is not hostile towards West, the West is hostile towards Turkey and THERE IS NO REASON FOR THAT but it is obvious that the West maintains their good old historical anti-Turkist hostility since the age of Attila or Suleiman, we had many CIA-backed coups for example, like in 1960, 1971, 1980, 1997 and lastly 2016 attempt, you know how CIA did many coup detats to destabilize the countries they want to fully control.

I did my master's thesis on Cyprus. I think you forgot to mention that "Enosis," which the coup in Cyprus was aiming for, also targeted ethnically Turkish Cypriot civilians-essentially resulting in their killing by uncontrolled gangs. This prompted Turkey to intervene in the situation. While they did request a combined effort from everyone on the island, Greece was also stalling the agreements and allowing events to unfold. All guarantors (Greece, UK, and Turkey) were obligated to ensure the safety of civilians. The UN did acknowledge that military intervention was within Turkey's rights. However, they found Turkey guilty of aiding the Northern side in their separation, which went against the agreement of the guarantors because it essentially divided the sovereignty of the entire Cyprus. That being said, to this day, negotiations for a unified Cyprus continue, but a common path has not yet been found because both Northern Cyprus and the Southern part still do not agree to unify on common terms.

One key element that has been bypassed in the video while handling Turkish militaristic and diplomatic role in Syria, Libya or Iraq or even Somalia is that all of these countries have been subject to government shiftings and civil wars predominantly funded by Western Powers. Before considering Turkey as a country who pursue goals of colonialism, keep in mind that Turkish people and government has a historical role and therefore support to protect the rights and interests of the people of these countries against the neverending hunger of exploitaion of first World, the major political powers of the World.

Depends. Governments care about other countries governments when either 1. Their own people support the country and their problems (like the recent Ukrainian war and Gaza war), or 2. They have to care because of political, military, or economic ties. When Turkey pushed the US to declare the American allied Kurds terrorists they did it, and when the US was training and supplying anti-ISIS Kurdish fighters the Turks told them to quit so the US did. The Turks have maintained good relationships with US enemies like the Russians and Soviets, being Russia's equivalent to Switzerland as the place rich russians hide their money or go to hide without the US doing much to stop them. The US does that because Turkey has a lot of power on the world stage and regional politics, which is the same reason that America is able to get people to care about american problems.

Our drone technology has been nothing but impressive and top-notch both in the air and on the sea, we can develop and manufacture all the weapon systems, and missiles in-house. TEI-Tf6000 jet engine has been done TEI-Tf10000 is on its way (TF6000 will be used with Anka 3, Kızıl Elma, and other unmanned platforms), TEI TS-1400 helicopter engine (which will be used with Gökbey Helicopter), We can manufacture assault helicopters, all kinds of modern armored vehicles both manned and unmanned platforms, Cruise missiles, mid-range missiles (up to 1000km), various smart missiles, air to air, surface to air and air to surface, warships, submarines, and finally a 5th gen Jet Fighter which made its maiden flight. Our military has been battle-hardened for years and our military professionalism has been known and respected. All these lead to one conclusion Türkiye will no longer stand still and watch. We will be involved where our national interests are required and we have been manufacturing the necessary assets to help us achieve that.

You and also the presenter forget to add that PKK (by connection YPG and so called SDF) is a known terrorists organisation and PKK is declared as such by the USA as well. So what USA is doing lying to the face of Turkish people and to world, while utilizing and arming a known terrorist group under different names whose sole goal is to carve Turkish lands for founding a so called Kurdish state. And they act surprised when Türkiye acts against an existential threat around its border. What a hypocritical approach to talk about allied partnership against terror. I wonder what would the American people and government act like if Türkiye started utilizing and arming KKK or some other domestic terrorists inside or at the borders of USA? In the meantime USA and Western propaganda making it look like Türkiye and Turkish people has a grudge against the Kurds. While omitting the fact that Türkiye has the biggest Kurdish ethnic population in the world, Türkiye was the first country that opened it's borders to help and accept millions of Kurds who run from Iraq in the late 80s and 90s, Türkiye had many prime ministers, ministers in the government and still have a lot of citizens from Kurdish ethnicity that are in politics and in powerful places both in state and government positions and there is no segregation or targeting against the citizens from any ethnicity. We all have the same rights and obligations. I hope I made it a bit clear about what's really going on and how it looks like from Turkish side.

As for YPG which was rebranded by CENTCOM into SDF by throwing in token Arab participation to legitimize it, even in the video you can see their militants wearing on their insignias the portrait of Abdullah Öcalan who has been caught by CIA efforts and is currently residing in a Turkish prison who is the founder of PKK. Both PKK (Turkish arm) and YPG (Syrian arm) is sibling organizations under KCK together with PJAK (Iranian arm) and this is a known and admitted fact by even the former US Secretary of Defense Ash Carter in a congressional hearing. US government is still feigning ignorance about this connection they themselves admitted to, though. From a Soviet designed terrorist organization to weaken NATO to an American pawn that weakens NATO. It's easy to understand why USA is garnering Turkish enmity since 2016. When USA put bounties on PKK leaders to persuade Turkey that they're still against PKK, YPG condemned USA telling they were putting bounties on heroes.

I think it’s because America tends to be pretty transparent with its intentions, so it looks good for PR, but other countries tend to hide their intentions. America is also accused constantly of making the PR Intentions a front for what America is really doing. Edit: I have to edit my comment since people don’t read, and have incredibly low IQ in the subsequent comments, I have to now clarify my vague reply about Americas Military Bases in 120 countries. Note, this was a reply to why America has MILITARY BASES IN OTHER COUNTRIES, not a comment about Americas History. America tends to be transparent to the foreign nations government about why America is going to be building a military base in that country. It is usually to strengthen alliances, or help defend a minority group that could be targeted. I even give an alternative point of view, that people are skeptical of why America is really there, and don’t believe what they say publicly, and see it as front or a cover up to what they are really doing. People in the following comments had a very difficult time understanding this simple concept
