The bristling menace called Turkey
Purported "ally" of the West but radical Islamist case of horror
With every passing day Turkey sinks deeper in the fundamentalist Islamist swamp of sharia, femicide, anti-West and anti-Christian terrorism, and growing ties with such other models of “liberal democracy” as Taliban-Afghanistan, Pakistan, Malaysia, and Qatar.
Post-WWII Turkey was always a malignant thorn on the side of the West thanks to the ahistorical blinkered policies of both Washington and key European capitals, with Berlin claiming the European pro-Turkey cup. But the advent of the Erdogan neo-Ottoman pseudo-democratic criminal regime led to a lethal confluence of all Turkic Islamist fundamentalist tenets into a river of anti-West and anti-Christian hatred.
Turkey’s Western “allies” are badly misguided on what Turkey is and what she wants to be. The post-WWI collapse of the Ottoman Empire, and the advent of fake egalitarian Kemalism, imbued with totalitarian fantasies of Turkic (ethnic cleansing) greatness, created the myth of a “Europeanized” Turkey which, however, never ceased to be a fundamentalist anti-Christian Asiatic aggressor. And now, almost twenty years into Mohammedan chauvinistic pro-sharia Erdoganism, Western leaders are still dilly-dallying, and keep twisting their thumbs, as they face the rapid emergence of an Iran clone on the shores of the Eastern Mediterranean.
Left untouched and unrestrained, neo-Ottoman Turkey will be, almost without doubt, the next toxic, Christian-hating, Mohammedan totalitarian aggressor at the very doorstep of Europe.
Turkey’s presence inside NATO is a billowing threat to the stability, security, and integrity of the Alliance, with Ankara in constant touch with Tsar Putin, who is only too happy to accommodate Turkish cap-in-hand requests for support and assistance, a fact that multiplicates Russia’s leverage on Erdogan’s budding, but badly creaking, “empire.”
Moscow is buttressing Ankara’s nuclear ambitions as well beginning with providing technical know-how for the construction of one-plus-two nuclear-fueled power plants in Turkey. The neo-sultan is also openly seeking nuclear arms know-how from Pakistan and has already expressed Turkey’s desire to obtain nuclear weapons as a key ingredient of Ankara’s grandiose “global power” delusions.
The Biden administration remains cool toward the neo-sultan but that does not guarantee a fundamental change of US course toward Turkey; the US State Department hosts well-entrenched pro-Turkish diplomatic factions and Ankara spends lavishly in maintaining aggressive PR in the US capital via a substantial annual operating budget:
Turkey has mastered the art of buying influence in Washington. It pays expensive consulting contracts to lobbyists for “strategic consulting services in connection with political and public policy issues before the United States Government impacting the Republic of Turkey’s interests.” Turkey also makes major gifts to think-tanks, which act like lobbyists, circumventing the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

Severely clipping Erdogan’s wings as we speak is a matter of urgent top-tier priority.
Erdoğan's Quest for a New Sharia-Based Alliance
U.S. President Joe Biden's lamentable decision to unilaterally withdraw from Afghanistan is paving the way for the emergence of a new sharia-based alliance, including NATO member Turkey -- theoretically a Western ally. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's Islamist ambitions appear to be seeking an international role in post-U.S. Afghanistan in alliance with the Taliban, Qatar, Pakistan and Malaysia. The trouble is, Turkey, among the new sharia alliance in the making, is the only country with institutional ties to the West.
Turn now to SADAT, a Turkish military consultancy and training company, though hardly an ordinary one. There were claims that the Erdoğan government, through SADAT, sent arms shipments to Syria to help the jihadists. Critics, including opposition lawmakers, have been inquiring about SADAT's activities, after suspecting its real mission may be to train official or unofficial paramilitary forces to fight Erdoğan's multitude of wars, both inside Turkey and without.
SADAT is owned by retired general Adnan Tanrıverdi who was appointed in August 2016 as Erdoğan's chief military advisor, but quit in 2020. In 1996, Tanrıverdi was forced to resign from the military due to "suspected radical Islamist activities." In a 2009 speech, Tanrıverdi said:
"To defeat Israel, the country must be forced into defensive warfare, all of its forces must be engaged and the war must be prolonged.
"What should Turkey do? The resistance units in Gaza should be supported by anti-tank and low-altitude anti-aircraft weapons.
"Turkey, Iran, Syria, the Iraqi Resistance Organization and Palestine should form the nucleus of a defense structure. Within this context the formation of an Islamic rapid reaction force consisting of an amphibious brigade, an armored brigade and an airborne brigade should be encouraged."
Recently, SADAT advocated the idea of Turkey supporting and helping the Taliban -- a group it has called a resistance movement -- to establish a sharia state in Afghanistan. A research piece published on September 13 by Ali Coşar, a retired colonel and board member of SADAT, advocated that Turkey help the new Afghanistan run by the Taliban in cooperation with Pakistan, Qatar and Malaysia.
Coşar dismisses the description that the Taliban is a terrorist organization: "They [the Taliban] are members of a resistance movement that fought against colonial America for 20 years to take over the government and establish a state that practices sharia. ..." Just like Ottoman Turks who ruled conquered lands under sharia law, he reminded his listeners.
