Organization of Turkic States is slowly evolving into an economic and security union, the countries do not want to go super fast with this because they dont want to spook Russia and China. So it will take another 20 years to complete that

A Turkic alliance would be welcome; but as you allude to, Russia will want to assert itself in it. For good or ill. Eurasianism is the most developed political philosophy pertaining to pan-Turkic movements, and it is a Russian philosophy. Turkey's awakening to its _Turkic_ antecedents is relatively recent (19th cen.), for most of their history, the Ottomans used "Turk" as a pejorative for their Turkic brethren. Whereas Russia has been more accepting of the role Turkic peoples have made in the development of their nation.

@@SacClass650 Russia was more accepting of Turkic tribes? Do you read history?

@@devalapar7878 Yes, I am well read. Russia has been _relatively_ more accepting of Turkic peoples historically, with widespread acknowledgment of the role that they played in the formative years of Rus'. This has resulted in a popular and extensive political philosophy called Eurasianism. Notwithstanding the early wars; and later, the pogroms under Stalin.

This is one of these festering post-Cold War cold sores. Guyana has such a tiny military. For the UK, the ghost of the Falklands/Malvinas war looms over this dispute because of the sheer economic costs of projecting any significant military force to the region. The US would have to step in for Guyana, and the US - Venezuelan relations are in a bit of a thaw, altho a shallow thaw. Brazil is also engaged on the borders there, but they are so preoccupied internally and face their own logistical challenges in moving any substantial military forces thru the Amazon into the remote tepui country. Border conflicts between Venezuela & Columbia with their simmering narco/guerrilla insurgencies is another post-Cold War slow boil.

The Seljuk Turks established themselves over a century before the rise of the Mongols, and were effectively defeated by the Khwarezmians (sic) who themselves were most famous for being conquered by the Mongols. The rump Turkish states fought amongst themselves, with the Turks led by the house of Osman becoming pre-eminent, before themselves also being crushed by the Mongols, only rising back up after the Mongols collapses.

Roll forward 100 years, things are very different today, though.

Turkey will not go to war against NATO, this I can guarantee that. Because it is very illogical to do so. The best option for Turkey is to remain side-less in the war between the USA + UK + EU + Japan + Australia + Israel VS China + Russia + Iran + India + Brazil + South Africa.

Really? Back Turkey when it attacks Kurdish civilians in Syria? That's the problem, you know. Terrorists are not armies. They mingle. I think perhaps the word 'terrorist' gets thrown around more than is justified. This is not only a Turkish sin. But it happens there. And it justifies atrocities. Which in turn justify retaliation. Hatred snowballs. De-escalation might be good. Negotiation. It worked in Northern Ireland, more or less. The US would really like to see that for Turkey and the Kurds.

For Russia or Turkey it might be easier to trade with the EU or China and let THEM handle trade from there. One thing is for sure. If the US goes into full turtle mode, SOMEONE will fill most of the void left behind. As long as there are no wars between current EU members (or with Britain or the US), the EU will have to protect their trade routes.

Why wouldn't US tolerate an ally growing stronger?? Turkey's power has been backed by US all the way until maybe the past decade when Erdogan started acting a little ambivalent.

The evidence proves you wrong. Japan is a very strong country and it is a US ally. The US would be only against a strong country, if that country was able to challenge it or invade it.

@@devalapar7878 Oh, no, in general I would agree with that, in my view about 9/10 of the problem most Americans have with playing "Team America: World Police" is due to the fact (and for most of our allies, it's definitely fact rather than perception) that they simply haven't been carrying their weight, providing gold-plated social benefits to their populations while cutting their defense budgets to the bone. After close to 80 years of the same excuses, it gets old. How is an American politician supposed to explain to his voters, thousands of whom probably filed for medically-induced bankruptcy in just the past year (statistically it's a near certainty) that he needs to pony up to keep Ingmar and Wladislaw free when he's one missed paycheck from oblivion at any moment in time? Seems a bit unfair when the guys getting the protection are so well-off. And in many cases we bent over backwards to give a local ally a HUGE leg up on the competition--e.g. the Afghan provisional government had more than enough material to smash the Taliban, it just didn't have the heart or will to actually fight, or the South Vietnamese, who were similarly left armed to the teeth but who fell seemingly in an instant. Why help people who refuse to help themselves?

No, we had many 2.0 version empire and they didnt work. New name would be given.

European Union is a dumpster fire

Pete you forgot about Houithis and Hezbelah, virtual extensions of Iran. Turkiye and Iran are a wash where neither wins.

The EU is a big international player with power, influence and military capability. Until it isn't. If either France or Germany decide this isn't working for them any more, it's "seeya boys, you're on your own!"

The EU is an economic giant but a political and military Gnome 😊

Yes but is the EU really a military power? In a bad situation would EU help? Not to mention that both Romania and Bulgaria are connected to the rest of the EU through Hungary, which does whatever Putin wants. So, yeah... Turkey is much closer and safer.

I'm curious whether the prolific series on Turkish public television have increased the appeal of Erdogan's political party in recent years? It seems obvious that there is an element of propaganda in these TV shows, promoting Turkish and Muslim nationalism. I started watching Dirilis Ertugrul when I found it on Netflix years ago. The writing and acting drew me in, and since then I've watched all of the other TNT shows that all promote the strength of Turkish states in the past: Dirilis Ertugrul, Kurulus Osman, Buyuk Selcuklu, Destan, Akdenizin Kilici, and now Salahudin. Is the propaganda working?

@@tedpreston4155 yes. His voters don't research. They like what they are being told one way or the other. And when things go south if a foreign power trying to hinder us...

Thats the nationalist playbook. Very similar in Russia, promise former glory while consolidating power and starving the populace

With your logic, every country is divided if you are going to base tht on elections. The out come was 90% in the elections in europe or america this is just around 40-50%

@@tedpreston4155 History is calling for us. Turkiye and the Turkish nation is to big to be contained. They could succeed for 100 years but this buubble evetually has to burst. ...It has nothing to do with movies....this will was always there...but it got crushed by military junta powers. ...those military juntas dont have the p[ower anymore, thats why they can not contain turkish people anymore ....but those movies you mentioed are very good. umber 1 : Dirilis Ertugrul....has reached 3 BILLION views and translated in to 19 diffret languages

Oh my god. You felt for propaganda. Show me an empire that was more accountable than the US? Also, you can't just say look what they are doing. Turkey doesn't have that power. If it had, would it act better than the US? I don't think so, because Turkey doesn't have good checks and balances. Furthermore, I ican explain to you all US wars if you want. Yes, some were bad, but they all had a bigger purpose. Most of US wars were understandable and necessary. Tell me which US war was bad and please don't say Iraq. That's just one war!

@devalapar7878 All wars are bad, the problem is not about being accountable but being humanistic in the year of 2024. Instead of proposing wars on non-related countries to finance war lords, US can receive the respect of other countries with its technology and the way of life presented. Millions of innocent civil live lost in the wars caused by US. Don't you have any heart for them? Can you just put yourself in their position? What would you feel if it would be your child who has been killed? @@devalapar7878

He recorded the 'after America' videos weeks ago.

The greatest problem of America in a Post America World is doubling its industrial base in five years.

The United States went through a fratricidal civil war and the Great Depression and still came out on top. It can handle whatever is going on now.

They need to have more babies in Scandinavia.

arabs definetly do

When talking about geopolitics, always bear in mind these quotes as a first principle: "War is just politics by other means" and "Only the dead have seen the end of war"

@@viveLaCifte When we are sent to die for someone else's political aspirations it sounds to me like they are playing God.

@@ovidiuNa I bet the commanders in the USA army are thinking to themselves like this: "China is so aggressive, look at how closely they established their country to our military bases!" :)

Yes he is

i didnt knew that erdogan is the president of zionazi israel and evangehell USA

Entertainer. Take current events, mixes with some popular history, writes a very shallow but hyperbolic monologue, memorizes it and then repeats it with a delivery that makes it appear as if it is from an authority. He is ... entertaining.

The conflicts that are about to ensue...will guarantee the dollar.

How will it guarantee the dollar?

Well to ensure Dollar's fall you have to first severely break the petro-dollar bond. Even in isolation 🇺🇸 will be the biggest economy. I am not sure that an isolated 🇺🇸 means an 🇺🇸 that doesn't protect it's interests.

you guys have the most liquidated bond and equity market. Whether you isolate or no, the money will end up in american assets, so dollar is safe :)

South America may have remained in the shadows of history for far too long.

This is what a big part of his book is about, The End of the World is Just the Beginning

Probably not! he thinks Greece is a joke

Yeah he likes winning hands. History is written by the winners and that’s all Peter is interested in. Greece is a shrinking population and so he doesn’t care.

@@aldareon He's not wrong. Greece is a joke. Every Greek I have met has been blaming the Turks for every single misfortune their country has. If only they focused more on their own faults than things that occurred over 100 years ago.. or even over 1000 years ago they would be much more advanced. . too bad the Greeks are known to be very stubborn that want no peace in the region.

@@aldareon How so?

@@nihil_hd1598 video will be too short like 10 sec :)

It doesn't just play into the situation, it invalidates Zeihan's analysis. Romania and Bulgaria are not faced with the choice of cozying up to Russia or Turkey, they are committed to the goal of full integration into a united Europe, including eventual adoption of the Euro and a common EU foreign policy.

@@laudermarauder Yes and with NATO gone in case of military problems... do you see Hungary and Slovakia with pro-Putin leaders helping? Or would they actually block any aid passing through? He's talking here about a worst case scenario.. and that's how countries need to think.

@@laudermarauder I don't know where you live. Romania and Bulgaria already work with the Turks. Romania and Bulgaria have very little to say in the EU. But they have leverage over Turkey. So it is a lot more favorable to work with the Turks and be in the EU. Just imagine if Turkey closed the straights. Bulgaria and Romania would lose half of their exports into the EU.

Bulgaria and Romania are better connected to Turkey than they do to Europe. Mountains don't allow them to integrate into the EU.

@ The Carpathian mountains and other mountainous areas of the Balkans are not an obstacle to anything in the 21st century. They are tourist attractions that are interlaced with highways and railways. The EU is financing the development of Romania and Bulgaria's infrastructure.

Haha, Turks in germany are sending pocket change back home, and german beer which they don’t like much. Turkey makes more money with tourism, not a lot but enough to keep the lights on and the doors revolving

Ahh yes paper tiger fighting with us-backed kurdish terrorist, isis, syrian/iran backed hezbollah
