A very crisp read by @nebahattanriverdi.bsky.social:

"Turkey’s new approach to Iraq is not only driven by its intensified rivalry with Iran. It is also a response to Ankara’s per­ceived marginalisation by the US-led India–Middle East–Europe Economic Corridor."

Turkey’s Iraq strategy marks a geoeconomic shift, departing from former security frontier lens. My new @swp-berlin.org Comment argues this calculated gamble carries implications not only for Turkey, Iraq & the Middle East, but also for Europe’s regional engagement

Türkiye, Doğu Libya’daki aktörlerle ilişkilerini yeniden tanımlıyor, bu güvenlik işbirliğini de kapsayan çok katmanlı bir açılım şeklinde gelişmekte.

Bu gelişmeler aynı zamanda bölgesel ve küresel jeopolitik dengelerde de değişimlere işaret ediyor.

Trump’s remarks not only weaken Ukraine, embolden Russia or signal US disengagement from the conflict

But with far-reaching global consequences:
Further divisions within NATO
A shift toward unilateral defense strategies
Offensive posturing replacing deterrence
revisionism for territorial expansion
Trump’s logic defies the very fundamental principle of modern international law, enshrined in the UN Charter, the prohibition of land acquisition by aggression.

Is the U.S. now endorsing the collapse of the UN system and a return to the ‘right of conquest’ and a world where might makes right?
Trump implies that since Russia "fought for that land" in Ukraine "and lost alot of soldiers" doing it, that Russia should keep it.

I can't remember a darker day for the democratic world.

Two thoughts about Kalin's visit to Damascus.
1) Beyond the official statements that local actors led the rebel offensive that led to the fall of Assad, Turkey wants to signal to observers outside and the domestic audience that Ankara holds the cards.

Why does Turkey’s evolving security landscape matter for its foreign policy? The transformation of Turkey’s security landscape has not only strengthened MIT but also redefined Turkey’s foreign policy tools. Read our analysis (with @sinemadar.bsky.social ) www.swp-berlin.org/10.18449/202...
