Turkish Foreign Minister, Hakan Fidan:
"As you know, after Iran, Israel cannot live without an enemy. It has to develop a rhetoric to influence public opinion and others. We see that not only the Netanyahu administration, but also some people in the opposition—not everyone, but some—are in pursuit of declaring Turkey a new enemy, in terms of political discourse. This is actually a new issue in Israel that is first brought up as a necessity of street politics, and then attempted to be transformed into a state strategy."
I've always suspected that Trump is trying to find a way to end NATO such that Turkey won't be included in what replaces it specifically so Israel can attack Turkey.
For those who don't know, part of Turkey is included in "Greater Israel".
Turkey has the largest standing Army in Europe(excluding Russia) how do they think they can handle that exactly.
Based on 2026 military strength rankings, the order from largest to smallest is Russia, Turkey, and Iran. Russia holds a significantly higher global ranking (top 3) with superior equipment, while Turkey and Iran follow, with Turkey having a stronger, more modern force than Iran
