When Washington DC (perhaps through proxies) destroyed the Nordstream pipeline a couple weeks ago, I wondered if Germany was going to act like a real country, for a change. But it didn't.
But there was another consequence. Turkiye started moving forward with expanded Turkstream pipelines. We will see how real that turns out.
What if Turkiye joins the Eurasian block? What a location Turkiye has! Roman Emperor Constantine was no fool when he chose the Greek city on the Bosporus to be his new capital.
If Turkiye joins Eurasia, it should damage Washington's and Israel's plans to destroy or dominate Syria.
Gas pipelines from the Persian Gulf to Europe might have to go through Turkiye.
An understanding between Russia and Turkiye could close off the Black Sea to Washington's navy. That would help throw Odessa into Russia.
There is something visual about Turkiye being a key player at the end of the "Atlantic" or European era, just as it was at the beginning of that era. Recall that the Ottoman Turks finally conquered Constantinople in 1453, just a generation before Columbus. This caused a panic amongst the trading nations in the Mediterranean -- they thought their trade to the East would be cut off by the Turks. That spurred the Portuguese to keep expanding into the Atlantic, down the west coast of Africa, and finally around the Cape.
