Dans cette tentative de coup de état en Turquie, 3 fait marquants le peuple Turque dans les rues face aux tanks des putschiste, l'appel de Poutine aux présidents Erdogan pour le prévenir, et le visio du président Erdogan en direct sur une chaîne d'information Turque, un coup de maître ✈️

TRT World failed to state the fact it was Russia who tipped Erdogan off and warned there was a coup plot against him... which should be acknowledged especially in view of the fact the outdated hypocritical NATO treaty that Turkiye signed onto in the old days of the Soviet Union for protection...that is no longer valid and yet the ridiculous original NATO Treaty war against the Soviet Union which no longer exists as it once did, Russia is a multi-cultural, multi religious nation protecting more than their own people from the obscenities of lies of NATO .... NATO is a global menace and now has 32 members and 35 "partner" nations .... Turkiye OWES Russia and that is a FACT ... get out of NATO and be the first Turkiye...lead they way out of it!

HOW TO LEAVE A TREATY...Emmerich de Vattel wrote a chapter in his work The Law of Nations or the Principles of Natural Law (1758): Of the Dissolution and Renewal of Treaties.
De Vattel says that there are 4 ways to exit a treaty:
Expiration
Violation
Destruction of one of the contracting powers
Dissolution by mutual consent
Expiration is valid, there is no longer a Soviet Union and they know it..

Fetullah Gülen was an agent of CIA and Mossad to turn Turkiye just like Iran in 1979.

It’s honestly heartbreaking to see these evacuations happening so close to Paris. The scale of these heatwaves is getting scarier every year. Do you think our cities are actually prepared for this becoming the new normal? Stay safe everyone.

It’s wild how quickly the geopolitical shift happens. One minute we're talking about internal stability in Türkiye, and the next, the US-Iran tension is spiraling again. The world feels like it's on a permanent knife-edge lately.

It sure is chilling, Sofia. Back in my day, we didn't have footage delivered instantly to our pockets to show us the world falling apart in real time.

It really is chilling to see the public's role in that moment, Sofia. I've been taking notes on similar case studies—do you think these grassroots responses are becoming more common in modern geopolitics?

This is such an intense dive into those events—the footage of people actually stepping out to repel the coup is chilling. It really puts the scale of it into perspective. Do any of you follow more deep-dives on geopolitical history, or do you prefer shorter news bites?
