🇬🇧 🇹🇷 Rybar has published a post detailing how Turkey's imperial adventures in other countries have backfired. Only suiting the interests of Britain against Russia.

On that topic, I will say that Turkey as a power is really more a trickster than anything. Turkey walks a careful tightrope between east & west, serving only themselves. A bit cunning really. But very untrustworthy if you're a country making deals with them. So much that Western discourse accuses them of siding with Russia.

Turkey's imperial interests suit the times we live in as a natural flow of history. This century may see every border in the globe shift as many 20th century boundaries are becoming suggestions or lines on a map, as reality on the ground takes shape.

Sure, Turkey can't expect success by doing this, but what's important is they take that risk anyways in the event that it does pay off. The same goes for all powers today, realizing that the global world police are gone and will have to make due themselves.
