Pro tip: when U.S. politicians in either party ignore or defy what the broader public says it wants, it’s usually because they are pandering to some powerful special interest group (or groups). True whether the issue is gun control, farm subsidies, health care, or many aspects of foreign policy.

Genuine question: are there security personnel backing up Musk’s unlawful interference in US government operations? If real US officials tell his aides to leave and let them do their jobs, are there police or other coercive forces telling those officials to comply with whatever his minions do?

The ironic thing about Syria: the people in DC who are so vocal about supporting the Syrian people are also the most vocal in keeping the sanctions on. And yet nobody seems to call these people out for it.

Classroom teacher Ferah Oktan was sentenced to 6years3months in prison for working at a school closed by a decree, depositing money in Bank Asya,and being a member of a union. Despite the rulings of the ECHR,the mother of two was arrested on Aug 9. These injustices must come to an end! #KHKsız2025

One of the leading public diplomacy institutions established by the Turkish government became embroiled in a major corruption scandal. Following the revelation of the scandal, the head of the institution fled to Germany and sought asylum there. Welcome to the Erdogan's Turkey!

I think the Che Guevarafication of al-Jolani/al-Sharaa has already begun in parts of the Arab world, and I think Arab despots in particular will be as concerned by the rise of a populist technocratic political Islam as South American autocrats were by Latin American Communism.

The character deficiencies of many of Trump’s nominees (e.g., Hegseth) are worrisome indeed, but most are also unqualified for the positions they will hold and have never managed a large organizations. Fasten your seat belts; it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

The number of "Syria experts" on Turkish TV is rising almost as quickly as inflation in Turkey. And no, apparently you don’t need to know Arabic or any foreign language to inform the audience🤦‍♂️

The first statement from Erdogan regarding the war in Syria: We hope Syrian rebels’ march to Homs and Damascus will continue without any accidents and troubles. This signals a maximalist position from Ankara ahead of the Astana Process in Doha to talk about the future of Syria.

The EU and Mercosur are close to sealing a major free trade deal after two years of talks. If it goes through, it’ll be one of the biggest ever and comes just as Trump pushes tariffs and moves the U.S. away from free trade. It's worth watching the process!

Daniella Cabello, who was sanctioned by the US today, is seeking to expand trade with Turkey. Cabello is the daughter of Diosdado Cabello, one of Maduro's closest allies and currently the Interior Minister of Venezuela. Turkey's growing engagement with Venezuela is to face significant challenges!

A nice snapshot of Turkey-US relations:Ankara’s reaction to Trump’s victory reveals selective memory.Yet, Trump’s Cabinet picks have shown little interest in aligning with Ankara.On the contrary, many are outspoken critics of Turkey. Plus, the Israel-Palestine crisis will likely remain a sore point.

The Turkish government continues to appoint trustees to elected Kurdish municipalities, with five appointments in just one month. Can we still call this "competitive authoritarianism"?

Erdoğan says 🇹🇷 has to prepare for a possible U.S. withdrawal from northern Syria under Trump & is negotiating with 🇷🇺 over this. U.S. disengagement means that 🇷🇺 & 🇨🇳 increase their influence like this in regions across the globe. It’s an odd way of countering 🇨🇳. sendika.org/2024/11/erdo...

No more words. The AKP regime (Erdogan), whose support for terrorist groups in the Middle East and Africa has been documented, and whose corruption and thefts within the country are well-documented, is imprisoning innocent women aged 70-80.
