What's in a Name (I)
Turks Are Coming
In politics and pop-culture, someone would always have a significant impact on the masses. In this chapter, what’s in a name will be highlighted.
This will not be a biography. Rather, varying examples in life will receive attention. They will range from socio-economic to politico-military matters.
I plan to start “what’s in a name” in light of “Turks are coming”. Unlike before, they are not running away from Mongol hordes. Now, they are coming with a challenge.
On another note, while in the New World Order, the East is rising and the West is decaying, unless Westerners wake up fast, this chapter will mostly focus on Easterners.
HAKAN FIDAN
Hakan Fidan is a newly appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs (FM) of Turkiye. He was, for more than a decade, the man with all the secrets of the rapidly rising Eastern power.
Previously, he served as the head of the National Intelligence Organization, known as the MIT. He has been “in the service of the whole Turkish nation” as Ataturk stated.
However, this chapter does not start with Hakan Fidan because he has been the head of MIT. Nor because he is currently the FM.
He is not in the focus either because Ataturk may have meant that the work included 400 million Turks (in today’s numbers).
Rather that Turkiye today has exemplary leaders like him at the helm. They are viewed like Attillas, Timurs, Alparslans, Mehmets, and Suleimans to name a few.
What’s in a Name
Hakan Fidan, today, has a responsibility to the East, the West, and the South. He will work with the US, EU, Russia, China, India, and serve the rest.
That is how number of major and regional powers will establish the New World Order. They will form their cluster of states to control their sphere of influence.
Under the circumstances, the US has no option but to collaborate with Turkiye. As I authored in the “GameChanger”, published in 2020 in the US and Australia.
The days of the sole superpower status for the US will be numbered in the face of rising China. Without Turkiye, the day of reckoning will even come faster.
All the while, a significant portion of the rest of the world will look forward. They will search Hakan Fidan-like formidable Turkish leaders on the horizon.
They know that they will come bearing economic and military gifts. However, for lot of them, a Turk is coming would mean something extra, on top of everything.
Turks Are Coming
“Turks are coming” has been a scare tactic for mothers in the West for centuries, according to the Western literature.
Seljuck Turks did it to the Byzantines when they knocked on the door in 1071. A 200 thousand strong Byzantine army perished in the hands of Alparslan’s army.
After that, Seljucks marched to the gates of Constantinople. Ottoman Turks brought the terror to the gates of Vienna.
Along the way, they converted Constantinople to Istanbul. Ever since, Turks are the gatekeepers for the West holding to the “landbridge” and “pressure valve” Anatolia.
As a result, for those who do not live in oblivion like almost half of the West is nowadays, Turks are coming does not mean what it used to be.
Turks Are Coming, now, with a “competitive” challenge.
What’s in a Name
Is Anyone At Home in the West?
So what exactly, Turks are coming means at this time around then?
For one thing, it means socio-economic growth and politico-military security.
On the Economic and Military End
For example, the US used to make tons of money by exporting one of a kind military platforms. Lately, number of plants are closing their doors for variety of reasons.
The same is true for the second biggest economic power Germany, as well. For example, German tanks were once most-in-demand much like US aircrafts were.
Neither is competitive anymore, never mind quality or delivery times that cannot be guaranteed when and if promised.
Instead, Turks are coming with better price, quality and with a range of military platforms.
The trouble is what they are coming with are not limited to the latest generation of aircrafts and tanks.
Unless the West come to its senses, the rapidly rising Eastern economies will pulverize even more life as we know it in the West.
On the Social and Political End
As the 45th President of the US noticed it, G-7 had long fulfilled its purpose with the turn of the Millennia. However, Globalists in the West were refusing to believe it.
As a result, for example, in 2022 and 2023, the Joe Biden Administration spun its wheels for nothing. They were such embarrassing performances.
Ensuing NATO meetings, under the US leadership, meant to save the reputation for the sole superpower. In 2022, Turkish Manifesto put a dagger to those hopes.
Now, the NATO Summit in Vilnius, next week, will show one more time where the US stands. For that matter, it may also very well show who Hakan Fidan is.
What’s in a Name
Hakan Fidan
NATO Summit 2023 will reflect the work Hakan Fidan did in a month since he became the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkiye. Sweden will be on the Agenda.
Turkiye objects to Sweden’s acceptance to the Western Alliance. Since the Turkish Manifesto 2022, Finland satisfied the Turkish demands. Sweden failed the test, so far.
With not so mighty US feeling out of place and not being able to impose its will in these summits, Hakan Fidan like Turkish leaders will continue to have the last say.
If it will come to it again one more time, this year, it will become two years in a row embarrassment for the sole superpower.
With that, what’s in a name will prove one simple fact. Turks are coming no matter, whether with a compromise or not.
However, take it from me, they will always be coming for the good of the Alliance and the Eurasia where they live.
What’s in a Name
Good For the West
In that regard, the purpose of this chapter, taking Hakan Fidan as the first example in this first episode, is to start on a positive note.
Why touch an evil, never mind elaborating about it! I know for a fact Turks are coming. I also know that they are coming for a good cause.
Much like they did when they arrived at Manzikert or Constantinople. They did not come like Mongol hordes that left back leaving behind devastation.
Rather, they came, saw, and stayed there. After that, they became an integral part of their new community. What’s in a name Turks of today are no different in that respect.
What’s in a Name
Erbil Writes
It has only been a few weeks since I began “Erbil Writes at Substack” here. I am a by-product of Turkiye, that I am talking about above.
When examined, from the looks of it, I integrated well into the Western society, as I became a naturalized American, and took pride in my dual citizenship.
In that regard, “what’s in a name” chapter would always be reflective of what I became: Someone that can become a bridge, in this case between the West and the East.
Like Hakan Fidan would also be at much larger capacity bringing the Turkish nation, together with many other nations from the East, the West, and the South.
