Russia and China have already made that move IMHO.
Yes he like Putin want to recreate their former glorious empires. He can’t not least because he doesn’t have the resources. The Arabs won’t let him. They won’t be led by a Turk. Neither will the Persians. They are rhetorical allies today but in the real world, for the goal you stated, they are rivals. The Saudis only rule today because of the Ottomans dismantling.
That’s what everyone said about Russia, they seem to be at least surviving and fighting a prolonged war.
Like I said whatever differences Turkey has with Russia and China would be quickly forgotten and they would rush in with cheap energy, China would send them support.
The days the US can put countries in an economic hammerlock are quickly coming to an end, this is a side effect of our economic mess.
More war, more death, glory be to God.
Here we are multiple millenniums later and still the descendants of Abraham’s sons Isaac and Ishmael are still dukeing it out here in the 21st Century. Political solutions will not remedy it and war will only temporarily assuage it.
Threaten Erdogan with war on Turkey if he does.
Tell this schmuck he can kiss my ass
Two things I'd like to see:
1:
US (out of) NATO
NATO (out of) US
and
2:
US (out of) UN
UN (out of) US
...
Got a hunch we agree on those, hardspunned.
Admitting a Muslim nation like Turkey into NATO was a big blunder.
Hoo-boy. Sure looking like it.
To hell with their “god”.
BUT NATO!?
Evidently he hasn’t read Ezekiel 38 & 39. Also, didn’t Turkey just get his with a couple of huge earthquakes here just within the past couple of months?
Indeed

The Falklands, yes. Islands close to Argentina and far from Britain. Didn’t take very long for Argentina to lose. Turkey could send ships, which would be sunk by Israeli subs. They could send troops, who wouldn’t make it past Beirut. The guy may be crazy enough to try some crap - he did send ships to try to break a Gaza blockade years ago. He tucked tail and went home. I think this is mostly talk but you never know. If he wants to help, send food and medicine to Egypt.
Not to mention domestic security issues. If he takes serious losses at a war that is not in Turkish national interest he risks political stability and a potential internal coup.
I wonder if there are any Ataturkists left in their military. Probably not, they're all Islamists now. Just like Obama and Biden promoting all the Woke Generals while pushing out MAGA folks in our military.
Ezekiel 38 war?
Turkey, Iran, Russia are the principal belligerents that invade Israel.
Sampson Option. Not happening.
Turkey would have to cross the Med, or drive through Turkey to get to Israel.
Nothing of substance would get through.
Do we still have nuclear weapons in Turkey? We should have taken them out years ago.
