Word on the street is Erdogan wants his idiot & corrupt son Bilal to succeed him. No, this is not a joke AKP elites are furious-esp the likes FM Hakan Fidan Meanwhile walking zombie Devlet Bahceli (Erdo’s coalition partner) is unlikely happy w/Bilal) What about the demos?

I joined Brittany Lewis on @forbes to talk about 🇹🇷 strained relationship with 🇺🇸 Fighter jets, sanctions, FP aspirations, hurdles and opportunities 👇 youtu.be/t9C_zkUyQ9Q?si…

Stark warnings from Sinan Ciddi and #WilliamDoran on 🇹🇷 involvement in Africa. Thirty new Embassies built but: 'Alongside its diplomatic surge, Turkey has emerged as a major arms supplier.' Argues that this has increased instability in conflict zones. Foreign Policy

'Turkish drone and small-arms exports have surged, while its military footprint—both through the Turkish Armed Forces and Turkish private military companies—has expanded rapidly.' Sinan Ciddi Important as #UAVs are transforming conflict across the globe. Foreign Policy

'These arms exports exacerbate instability in African states facing civil wars, routinely violating international sanctions and ending up in the hands of malicious regional actors.' Sinan Ciddi An alternative perspective on #Erdogan's 'Pivot to Africa'. Foreign Policy

Turks posing as Nazis in Istanbul When photographed and recorded on camera they ask why and where these images will be posted The sheer depth of ignorance, bigotry and sanctimonious pride in not seeing what’s wrong with this, is the dominant discourse in 🇹🇷 #Erdoganistan

Welcome to Erdogan’s 🇹🇷 This is the “pious youth” he envisions to lead the country. This is his vision-this, in 2025 This is why the Istanbul Convention was terminated, why they removed all references to evolution theory Where is the outrage?

The thing that is concerning is that while some assume one day his term in office will end, the generational changes he has cemented will remain

I ❤️ the carefully crafted high-brow pieces that gently want to remind us what a brute Erdogan is. This is a particularly endearing rendering by Gönül Tol The time for such pieces was in 2012/13, but hey, every little helps - keep 'em coming nytimes.com/2025/11/06/opi…

Clown show 🇹🇷 "judiciary" - the bastion of rule of law The same judiciary w/overlooked the flattening of Sur by tanks, the murder of Berkin Elvan and other children at the Gezi protests by Turkish police The same judiciary which jailed Imamoglu, Demirtas and Kavala w/o basis

2012-one of the 1st panels I spoke at in DC on why Erdogan and the AKP were a threat to 🇹🇷 On the panel, my friend Howard Eissenstat & Amb. Ross Wilson Gulenists hated the panel and called us elitists. Back then, it wasn't vogue to critique Erdogan youtube.com/watch?v=jbpE3y…

I joined Lauri Regan on the @mefoum podcast to talk about why 🇹🇷 is eager to put troops in Gaza and why several Gulf states and Israel oppose Ankara's push Bottom line: Ankara lacks the credibility and semblance of impartiality
