His strong rhetoric leads to extreme dopamine bursts from those who think that he’s being sincere, but the rush will inevitably wear off once they realize that he’s not, and some might in turn think less of him afterwards.
Erdogan and other Muslim rulers like their whiskey, their western bank accounts, their trophy properties, their investments and shiny western toys. Axtually, not sure about Erdogan and whiskey, but you get my point, right?
The reason that the Houthis are the only ones to have taken concrete action is that their leaders have none of these things, and therefore are unaffected by American carrot or by American stick.
Anyway, Erdogan is not stupid. He knows full well that any such Muslim alliance never will come to fruitition, and he will blame any failure to take steps on the inability of the Muslim world to get its act together, we were ready to go, see...
RIGHT ON! You've said it as well or better than I. He loves to strut on the stage knowing the stage is an illusion but viewed by some as reality. Oh what fun it is to ride on a high horse of the day.!
Claiming a "holy" alliance of the Umma against Israel when trade between Turkey and the Zionist entity has never been better, is a shameful and crude fantasy, at the same time as a rather habitual hypocrisy of the character and a propaganda tool for internal use…
I think Erdogan learned a great deal from US and Israel. He copies them and much of what is said in this commentary could just as well be applied to the US and Israel, especially the point about international law breaking. I'm guessing most of the comments here are by Americans who are infamous for quick jumping to blame others for the lead their own country has taken. I am disgusted by the current administration and a country that backs 2 of 4 or more choices with the dems and reps all in for genocide. What kind of frightening leadership supports the genocide of children? There are better independent choices even if the nasty beast, Wall Street suffers.
“His strong rhetoric leads to extreme dopamine bursts from those who think that he’s being sincere, but the rush will inevitably wear off once they realize that he’s not, and some might in turn think less of him afterwards”
Nope…that’s where you’re wrong. The extreme dopamine bursts are here to stay and will be used for a noble cause which is kicking your asses out of the Palestinian lands that you stole and are still stealing.
Calm down, I have nothing to do with Israel's occupation of Palestinian lands and am actually against them since I'm proudly anti-Zionist and pro-Palestine.
You're also deluded yourself into thinking that Erdogan is going to lead Muslim countries in a war against Israel and will therefore be deeply disappointed when that doesn't happen.
You can either continue drinking the Alt-Media kool-aid or wake up and realize how the world really works, it's your choice, but don't personally attack me for my truth bombs.
May I ask whether you're a fan of Douglas MacGregor? I'm asking because he's the top Alt-Media guy who's cried wolf about Turkiye attacking Israel or whatever.
Pepe Escobar also pushed a variation of this fantasy here, which obviously never happened though he predictably never accounted for why:
"It’s no secret – apart from the modus operandi – that Putin and Erdogan have discussed a possible Turkish humanitarian naval convoy to Gaza, which would be protected from an Israeli attack by the Russian Navy out of its Tartous base in Syria and the Russian air Force out of Hmeimim. That would raise the stakes to unforeseen levels." -- 14 October 2023.
Are those the folks who you're getting your guidance from? I'm sincerely interested in how you came to thinking that such a ridiculous thing would ever happen.
Utter baloney. How on earth would Turkish soldiers on Gazan soil even be logisticially feasible? As a retired colonel he knows this. Yet he got 12K likes and 4.4K reposts. Shows you the state of the 'alt-media' and its followers.

He talks the talk, and that's all
Yes, I accidentally (thinking it was the present day) posted a 2018 news article with him saying the EXACT SAME THING and we see where that lead.

Douglas Macgregor said on November 7th last year that:
"Turkish soldiers will eventually fight in Gaza.
Erdoğan is sensitive to timing, he is mobilizing the country.
This is going to happen, it's a mistake to dismiss him.
Erdoğan is the one man in Middle East with the capability to destroy Israel.
Pay Attention!"

Don't understand how McGreggor can ever be taken seriously. A classic wind bag & very possibly controlled opposition.
I suspect, like most Alt-Media, he is just a wishful thinker.
🤣🤡🤣
Hot air bag. Talking head for NATO 🤡🐷
President Putin, I will not release AZOV prisoners until the war is finished.
