The role of Turkiye as broker is very interesting. Erdogan is quite astonishing in some ways. The video clip in which he claps Johnson on the shoulder, and the reaction by Johnson, is very telling. this was about two weeks at most before the Tory coup dâetat. At the same conference Biden has to mollify Johnson when Erdogan says, words to this effect: ââŠwe hear youâve been a naughty boyâ.
If Turkiye were to decide to leave NATO it would be a fatal blow, not least because they actually have a formidable army of their own. But it would mean that the threat of leaving would no longer be their Ace in the hole.
Whatever is going on beneath the pantomime it is certainly a fascinating spectacle.

Historical literacy paints a depressing picture of state after state falling victim to the temptations of imperialistic armed robbery, when the opportunity arises. I fear the Russian and Chinese successors to VVP and XJP could easily be susceptible. The risk of Russian or Chinese âdestiny-drivenâ racial superiority delusions isnât exactly nil, hom-sap being the way we are. Shall we eventually hear tropes about âthe Yellow Manâs Burdenâ (FFS!)?
PS: Iâve been familiar with the word âTĂŒrkiyeâ as the Turksâ own word for their country, since I started going there to study their wonderful shepherdsâ dogs - the Ăoban köpekleri. Itâs good to see that old crook Erdogan (pronounced âEr-doooh-anâ - yumuĆak âgâ) finally getting Anglo people to recognise the landâs proper name. Perhaps theyâll even manage to pronounce his name properly, before he fades from view. Alex Christoforou manages it; Alexander Mercouris not so much, always speaking it to rhyme with âtobogganââŠ!
PepeE seems to agree with you, Rich. Iâm strongly drawn to agree with you too; though that doubt remains: that the rising powers can resist permanently the temptations of empire:
