Israel is itching to go to war with Turkiye and Egypt

[Pakistan Space Agency]

The entire NATO bloc, with its 32 countries, is confronting Russia alone, yet it has still lost large amounts of territory. Is that really something to be proud of?

When did any NATO member lose its territory to Russia?

I do recall the Soviet Union breaking up into 15 countries.

If it isn't garbage, what is it, then?

Go on. Tell us why everyone wants to join NATO and not a single country wants to join Russia?

 

[东风夜放花千树]

My prediction is that soon Türkiye will be thrown out of NATO, or, in case of war, NATO won't come to help Türkiye.

I don't think this viewpoint needs predicting.

Russia has broken through NATO countries multiple times.

NATO hasn't openly gone to war with Russia so far.

NATO is the US's NATO, not a NATO that belongs to all NATO countries together.

Ants need to stick together for survival
an elephant has no need to befriend ants.

Haven't you noticed? Even the United States doesn't want to play along with that bunch of trash in NATO anymore.

NATO will join the war to subdue Turkey if Israel ever goes to war with Turkey.

Turkey’s NATO membership is as credible as Pakistan’s major Non-NATO ally designation. At least 3 NATO powers have already sanctioned Turkey.

 

[royalharris]

The United States first proposed the G2, meaning the U.S. and China. After China rejected the G2, the U.S. then proposed the C5, including the United States, China, Russia, India, and Japan.
Where is there a single piece of NATO trash in that group?NATO is just a bunch of cheerleaders; it is not important at all.

I hate wars but defence enthusiastic inside me would like to see a full fledged war between 2 regional powers Israel and Turkiye....

Indians have always hoped for chaos in the world, then profit from the countries at war. A despicable mindset, one that is anti-human. It seems now that Pakistan hasn’t tamed India. Maybe next time in a war, the Pakistani army shouldn’t hold back.

Americans, Israelis, and Indians are the reason this world can’t have peace.

Whatever the truth, Türkiye look eastward is a good balkwark against the zionist genociders.

Id like to see a politically and militarty aligned block of Türkiye, SA, Pak and Qatar, with all countries that host US bases reducing that footprint.

Then once this block matures, and neighbourly relations strengthen to include Egypt and Iran.

Forget Israelis, no one will mess with such a block.

Here gentleman is an Indian who openly admits he would like to see a full fledged war. This really is an Indian mindset - doesnt matter of the millions of lives that would be lost or devastated - to satisfy his “enthusiasm”.
Thank the lord we aint indian - thanks Jinnah

Well Turks are a great warrior race with marvellous history. But in recent decades they are westernized cucks with zero to no real battle experience. Don't know how the war of isreal will pan out for Turkey. They shot themselves in the foot by joining NATO.

Truth, Timing, and Turkey: Why Israel Finally Recognized the Armenian Genocide​

Memorial to the Armenian Genocide in Yerevan, Armenia (Unsplash)

History did not change on the day Israel’s Cabinet voted to recognize the Armenian Genocide.

Politics did.

The Armenian Genocide was a historical fact in 1915. It remained a historical fact while governments debated whether acknowledging it was politically convenient. It remained true during every decade Israel chose strategic caution over formal recognition. What changed was not the evidence. What changed was the politics.

Israel’s Cabinet has unanimously approved recognition of the Armenian Genocide, describing the decision as a moral and historical duty. The proposal still requires approval by the Knesset before becoming formal state policy. That procedural distinction is important, but it should not distract from the larger question: why did this moment arrive now rather than decades ago?

For Armenians, recognition is not simply symbolic. It is an affirmation that historical truth cannot be erased through diplomacy or denial. The genocide claimed an estimated 1.5 million Armenian lives and destroyed families, churches, schools, businesses, and centuries of cultural heritage. The pain has always extended beyond the killings themselves. Denial became a second injustice, forcing survivors and their descendants to defend history instead of simply remembering it.

The historical record has not changed. Historians have long documented the systematic destruction of the Armenian people, and many democratic nations have formally recognized those events as genocide. What changed was the geopolitical landscape.

For decades, successive Israeli governments avoided formal recognition because Turkey occupied a critical place in Israel’s regional strategy. Military cooperation, intelligence sharing, trade, and broader security interests made leaders reluctant to jeopardize an important relationship. Whether that calculation was justified remains open to debate, but it explains why recognition was repeatedly postponed despite the strength of the historical evidence.

That caution came at a moral cost. The victims of 1915 were asked to wait while diplomacy took precedence over historical truth. Justice delayed may still be justice, but delay always carries consequences.

Today, relations between Israel and Turkey have deteriorated sharply. Against that backdrop, recognition inevitably carries diplomatic significance alongside its moral importance.

It would be too simplistic to conclude that Israel acted solely to rebuke Turkey. Governments rarely make consequential foreign-policy decisions for only one reason. Moral conviction, changing leadership, public opinion, and geopolitical realities often converge. The more important question is why politics delayed recognition for so long.

If recognition is morally right today, it was morally right decades ago. Historical truth should never depend upon the state of bilateral relations or shifting strategic interests.

Recognizing the Armenian Genocide does not diminish the Holocaust. It reinforces a universal principle: no people’s suffering should be denied or erased because acknowledging it is politically inconvenient. Memory is not a competition. Truth is not a finite resource.

History did not change.

Politics did.

The Armenian Genocide did not become true because Israel’s Cabinet approved recognition. Israel acted because the historical truth had never changed.

History rendered its verdict more than a century ago. Governments are only now catching up.

Israel has taken an important step. The challenge now is ensuring that this recognition endures not because relations with Turkey remain strained, but because historical truth deserves permanent recognition regardless of changing political circumstances. If this decision reflects an enduring commitment to truth rather than the circumstances of a particular moment, it will stand not only as an important diplomatic milestone, but also as a lasting moral one.

Netanyahu wants war to stay in power, and not end up in prison.
