NATO Is Their Natural Enemy
Turkey’s Achilles Heel
It is energy. It is also what ties Turkey to Russia. You know this. I know this. We’ve spoken about it. It is why this is important to keep our beady eyes on…
Turkey to resume drilling for gas near Cyprus, potentially inflaming tensions
Remember when we discussed some months ago how Erdy got his fighter jets from the US? The protestations from the EU were that Turkey may use these on their long standing foes… the Greeks. To which they simply stated what is the point in getting the planes if they can’t shoot the Greeks? It was one of the most candid and simultaneously hilarious exchanges I’ve witnessed.
The point is this. NATO is their natural enemy.
Russia, despite a rough history with the Turks, is right now their natural ally. Their Achilles heel lies in energy, which they’re deficient in.
They will turn to Russia to secure these gas fields. Watch!
Russia signs new construction deal for Turkey’s 1st nuclear plant
This makes Turkey a long-term asymmetric bet.
It is cheap, and misunderstood.
We’ve got the useless Western media to thank, and I mean that honestly because without their “reporting” we’d not have the arbitrage value we do have.
“One Belt One Road” Initiative: Perks and Challenges for Turkey
This is an important country. Don’t listen to the nonsense about NATO and the UN.
These guys (NATO) have credit, propaganda, and an overstretched military. Not very different from Rome in the 1450s. It’s going to collapse. We’re in the period just before it really accelerates.
Turkey actually doesn’t need to do a lot other than NOT FUK things up too much and it becomes a net beneficiary.
Sticking for a minute with geopolitics and energy…
