🚨🇹🇷🇺🇸 EXCLUSIVE: TURKEY’S SECURITY AND FOREIGN POLICY PRESIDENTIAL COMMITTEE MEMBER
A friend of Putin, Trump, Xi, and the EU, Erdogan’s Turkey stands at the epicenter of two major wars, as the world shifts away from U.S. hegemony.
Dr. Murat Yeşiltaş, member of Turkey’s Security and Foreign Policy Presidential Committee, is one of the architects of Turkey’s evolving foreign policy - and a leading voice on its military and global strategy.
In this interview, I ask him about Erdogan’s meeting with Trump, whether the U.S. will finally approve F-30 fighter jets to the country, the state of the Ukraine and Gaza wars, and China’s quiet rise.
00:51 – “The F-35 will recalibrate Turkey’s military power - our air superiority has lagged behind, but that’s changing.”
03:42 – “After October 7, Israel’s aggression has destroyed regional stability. It’s a genocide - and it must stop.”
05:03 – “The so-called peace plan won’t work if Israel rejects a two-state solution. There’s no trust, no guarantees.”
11:08 – “Israel targeted Hamas officials in Qatar during ceasefire talks. That shows Israel’s loss of rationality.”
13:13 – “Turkey’s goal is to stop the war and rebuild Gaza - but who will pay? Who will lead reconstruction?”
16:43 – “Israel doesn’t want a strong Syria. That’s the heart of the problem - and a potential flashpoint with Turkey.”
20:05 – “Turkey is not Iran, not Syria - we are NATO’s second-largest army. Israel doesn’t want a strong neighbor.”
24:10 – “Normalization under Israeli conditions won’t work. Solve the Palestinian problem first - then talk about peace.”
27:36 – “F-35s will redefine Turkey’s air power. We’ve paid $1.4 billion. Trump can bring Turkey back into the program.”
35:53 – “Turkey is now beyond a middle power. We operate in Africa, the Gulf, Asia - this is strategic autonomy.”
37:59 – “Turkey’s not choosing sides. We’re part of NATO, but we talk to Russia, China, everyone. That’s strategy.”
40:42 – “Europe is rearming because it no longer trusts Washington. The U.S. signaled weakness - and Russia noticed.”
44:44 – “Trump’s shift on Ukraine shows he’s learned: you can’t charm Putin into peace.”
49:16 – “The Ukraine war will likely drag on - a ‘black swan’ event could change everything.”
52:03 – “Russia is losing 1,000 soldiers a day. Its production capacity is its only strength.”
55:05 – “China has already risen. The question is - can it rise peacefully?”
57:49 – “Turkey won’t choose sides in a U.S.–China conflict. We want stability - not camps.”
