The maritime map in the Aegean must be redrawn. Anatolia must be reunited with its 'natural borders'

The US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz could open up every single maritime and land trade corridor in the world for debate. It could trigger enormous power struggles in these areas. It could be the beginning of a new style of intervention.

While alternative routes are being planned, these most critical regions of the earth — which shape the global economy and security — could become the addresses of major wars.

NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED IN A HUNDRED YEARS

The order established after the First and Second World Wars has collapsed. In a hundred years, the math of global power has never experienced a shock on this scale.

All calculations are being reset and rebuilt. We have entered another extraordinary period of history, and every country with any sense must prepare for this new situation.

International law no longer exists. There are no interstate customs or traditions. No supranational institutions. There is no mechanism left to restrain leaders or states.

No laws of war, no power-sharing. Democracy and human rights have become "old fairy tales". No international treaty means anything anymore; there is nothing left to constrain the world.

NOTHING REMAINS EXCEPT THE SANCTITY OF POWER. GREAT SACRIFICES WILL BE REQUIRED.

In a world fixated on the sanctity of power, how will the future of nations and countries be secured? How will the disintegration and plundering of countries be prevented? In which direction will the flow of history proceed, and how?

This is the only thing all leaders and governments should be thinking about right now. That is why any kind of "extraordinary" measure is possible, and there is no way to fight these threats with old habits.

Thus, none of the definitions made during the two world wars can solve today's problems. Every country, against all possible extraordinary circumstances, must make big decisions, make big preparations, and endure great sacrifices.

“I NEED URANIUM, I’LL TAKE NIGER.” “I NEED NATURAL GAS, I’LL TAKE IRAN.”

“I need uranium — I will invade Niger”, “I need oil — I will seize Venezuela”, “I need minerals — I will take Afghanistan”, “I need the Middle East’s natural gas — I will capture Iran’s resources” — those who say such things are bombing capitals.

In a world where banditry and looting have become normal, the limits of diplomacy have perhaps never been so constrained. We have gone back to the era of empires and kingdoms.

At a time when technology is pushing the boundaries of taking the human race to other universes, the most savage periods of the human race are returning.

MALACCA, SUEZ COULD ALSO BE TARGETED.

The Strait of Hormuz is already one of the world’s most critical spots. Now it has turned into a crisis shaking the entire world. The US has blockaded the region, turning it into a weapon against the global economy.

They could do the same to all maritime passages. The Strait of Malacca, Bab el-Mandeb... They might even start wars over the Suez Canal. They could commit great madness to control the global economy and its resources. It’s hard to guess what a genocidal killer and a man who has taken madness to the extreme might do tomorrow.

LOOK AT HORMUZ, THINK OF THE STRAITS! WHY THE BUILDUP AT DEDEAĞAÇ AND THE ISLANDS?

So when we look at Hormuz, we think of the Çanakkale and Istanbul Straits. If the US-Russia confrontation grows, if the face-off between the US-Europe and Russia-China hardens, and when Türkiye begins to take its place on the historical stage as a new power, the Straits will become a source of major disputes.

Perhaps even wars. The nature of the aggression against Hormuz should push us to think about these things.

For years, they have been building up forces in Greece, Romania, and Bulgaria. They are setting up military bases within thirty kilometers of our border. They shake their fingers at Türkiye from Dedeağaç. All the islands in the Aegean have been militarized. US and Israeli soldiers and missiles have been placed there.

WHY THE JOINT FRONT OF ISRAEL, GREECE, AND THE GREEK CYPRIOT ADMINISTRATION?

Israel, Greece, and the Greek Cypriot Administration have formed a joint front. They are making military agreements and conducting drills. They no longer even bother to hide that this is directed against Türkiye.

They are shaping a Western Front stretching from the Eastern Mediterranean to the Black Sea. What we call NATO bases are serving as bases for the US and Israel.

We always thought such preparations could not be made against a NATO member. They always presented it as “preparations to protect Europe against the Russian threat.” It was a lie.

The Greek Cypriot Administration and Greece have already been turned into garrison countries for Israel. The issue in the Aegean is no longer just a Türkiye-Greece problem. Both countries have been placed under tutelage and turned into a front against Türkiye.

THE MIND BEHIND IT IS ISRAEL’S MIND!

Are these preparations a defensive measure to stop Türkiye from striking Greece? Is it fear that Türkiye might take all of Cyprus? Is it an attempt by the European Union to reinforce its borders against the “Turkish threat”? Then why are there no European countries in all these regions — only the US and Israel?

This is not a defense; it is an offensive preparation. Greece, the Greek Cypriot Administration, and Israel do not have the power for such an attack. But they are bringing the US into this region. They are operating through the US. They are threatening us with the US military.

What Trump is doing with his madness, the reasoning behind his blockade of Hormuz, is Israel’s reasoning. The reasoning behind Greece and the Greek Cypriot Administration is Israel’s reasoning. The plan to blockade the Strait of Hormuz is Israel’s plan.

It is now obvious that this country will try to push Greece and the Greek Cypriot Administration into a front against Türkiye. Neither the alliance with the US nor NATO membership can prevent this.

IF HE SAYS “I NEED THE STRAIT AGAINST RUSSIA”! THE ENTIRE BLACK SEA AND AEGEAN WILL BECOME A BATTLEFIELD

Alliances no longer mean anything. At a time when we are discussing leaving NATO with the US, while Europe is chasing new military alliances, new threats must be defined with new sentences.

When we say “Look at Hormuz, think of the Istanbul Strait,” we are not exaggerating. In a world where power relations can change in an instant, we have to think about these things. Do we really think that those who blockade Hormuz today haven’t considered blockading Çanakkale and Istanbul tomorrow? Do you think Israel and the US don’t have this in mind?

If tomorrow Trump says, “I need the Istanbul Strait against Russia” — and he is mad enough to say it — what kind of situation would arise? Israel would produce the justifications, the US would try to implement it, Russia would see it as a threat, and the entire Black Sea and Aegean would be thrown into chaos.

THESE BUILD-UPS ARE FOR THE STRAITS! WESTERN THRACE AND THE ISLANDS MUST BE OPENED FOR DISCUSSION!

The military buildup in Greece and the islands, and the military alliance of Greece, Israel, and the Greek Cypriot Administration, are for the Straits. Let us note this down here as if writing a footnote to history. As time passes, we will see the signs of this much more clearly.

Türkiye is a country that disrupts the games set up from the Persian Gulf to East Africa, creates new games, and has increased its power in the Mediterranean to an incredible degree. It is a country that can overcome such a threat. On the contrary, it is a country that can crush Israel and Greece.

Against such a preparation, Western Thrace and the islands must be opened for discussion. And without any delay. Against such a threat, Türkiye must not stay on the defensive but must generate its own threats. Greece must see the price of being a trigger-puller for Israel.

ANATOLIA MUST BE REUNITED WITH ITS NATURAL BORDERS. THE BORDERS IN THE SEA OF THE ISLANDS MUST BE REDRAWN.

Even if these things don’t happen, Anatolia must be reunited with its natural borders. Western Thrace and the islands must be reunited with Türkiye. As things stand, it is impossible to defend Türkiye.

No country can be positioned at the zero point of the sea. No country can be held hostage on its own shores.

While they are making calculations over the Straits, while they are gathering foreign powers on our borders, the borders in the Sea of the Islands must be redrawn according to Anatolia’s natural frontier.

Athens is playing such a huge gamble that it will be Athens — not Israel — that pays the price. Then it will learn the hard way that Israel does not have the power to defend it.

TÜRKİYE MUST TURN TO THE WESTERN FRONT

Action must be taken now against the idea of blockading the Straits and against the Israel-Greece preparations. Having secured its Eastern and Southern Fronts, Türkiye must turn to the Western Front.

Because the threat always comes from the West. Even the threats on our East and South originate from the West. This has been the case for a thousand years.

We do not want another Battle of Çanakkale. The whole world should know that.
