Turkish Foreign Policy and Regional Geopolitics

[Foinikas]

Turkey, Egypt, Saudi and Somalia are friends.

For a guy who "doesn't like the zionists" you seem to advocate for them a lot here. lol

Have you ever thought I'm pointing out you wanna have the same geopolitical impact as them?

No, Turkey is friends with Egypt, Saudi, not undermining them.

Somalia and Sudan. Its not enemies with them like Israel is.

I think I didn't phrase my previous post correctly(multitasking earlier).

You said "For a guy who "doesn't like the zionists" you seem to advocate for them a lot here. lol"

And why would I prefer Turkey to be in charge of the Red Sea or Gulf of Aden in the future? Why would I want a Turkish-aligned or Turkish proxy Somalia and Sudan?

Turkish proxy Somalia and Sudan?

These are sovereign states. Nothing prevents your from doing diplomatic engagement with these countries.

That Turkey is basically doing what you're accusing Israel of trying to do.

Turkey has a relationships with States in the Red Sea and is not doing anything against a state like Egypt, Saudi, Sudan or Somalia. The Zionists are trying to endanger the interests of those states. Apples and Oranges.

Of course you don't have any thing against them,you just wanna get influence,bases and in the future be able to control the region. I don't blame you.

İsrael inserting itself into the Red Sea region is like Turkey playing games in the South China Sea. It's just another chapter in Israel's artificially inflated ego trip.

But Turkey inserting itself into the Red Sea region is not as bizzare and inflated ego trip?

Turkey isn't harming anyone.

Zionists are trying to build south of Egypt for a 2 prong vulnerability in Sudan, splitting up the country by backing a genocidal warlord. And as well undermine Saudi Arabia's own interests in the Red Sea. Not to mention the Somaliland drama by breaking apart Somalia.

If you say well this is the same as Turkey helping these countries(Helping Sudan not break apart, helping the govt), Working together with Egypt and Saudi(two countries who have a red sea shore line), working with Somalia to to keep Somalia's territorial integrity, helping build its army to fight al shabaab, helping it develop its economy and infrastructure.

If you its the same, then its just dishonesty.

Oh yes,Turkey always "peace mission". Libya was virtually at the brink of unification when Haftar reached Tripoli,but Turkey intervened and prolonged the war for more years and the country is still de facto not unified. Then you have Syria. Turkey's meddling in Syria not only prolonged the war,but kept the country divided and helped instability and misery to rise,until finally Jolani and his allies took power.

The argument that Turkey is helping Sudan or Somalia not to break apart is just funny. Because it's all about interests and geopolitics. Watch it,I'm not blaming Turkey for doing it,I'm saying it's not out of benevolence the Turkish government woke up one day and thought "Hey,let's help Somalia".
