Mike Levin@MikeLevin·
This is truly insane, and it should be front page news across America.  Denmark secretly deployed soldiers to Greenland prepared to blow up airport runways to stop a U.S. invasion. They brought blood supplies to treat the wounded. France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden quietly coordinated against us. This was not a drill. This was our closest allies preparing to fight Americans. Let that sink in. NATO allies. Countries whose soldiers have fought and died alongside ours for decades. They looked at this president and decided they had to prepare for the worst. Fewer allies does not make America great. It makes us more isolated, more vulnerable, and it hands Russia and China exactly what they have always wanted: an America abandoned by its friends. The American people deserve to know how badly this president has damaged our standing in the world.  bbc.com/news/articles/…

Mamdani just cut a $9 million contract that McKinsey has with NYC. And then brags about it publicly. More please.

Very Trumpian | The social structure around him must always recognize his authority...If there is a lapse in respect, Erdogan will take corrective action...He's extremely direct, bordering on rude..How did this become the top of the food chain? @SelimKoru kulturkampftr.substack.com/p/erdogan-eats…

It’s becoming painfully clear not only that US and Israel are losing this war but that this is one of the biggest strategic failures of the West with the most significant consequences for geopolitics of the region and the global economy since WWII

Denouncing anti-Semitism while criticizing Israel is like walking and chewing gum at the same time. If you're telling me now is not the time to risk doing both at once, I'm going to assume you just want to sit on the couch, chew gum and not walk.
Nikhil Pal Singh@nikhil_palsingh

I respect Matt, and we should get the history right, but this is not the time to downplay the malign influence of Israel on US foreign policy, or to continue to be cowed by the cynical use of anti-Semitism on behalf of Israeli impunity.

I don't remember the last time he has done an unscripted interview. I'm also not surprised other officials aren't doing these. Too risky.
Yusuf Erim@YusufErim34

The one interview I would want to see happen above all interviews right now would be to watch @TuckerCarlson sit across from @RTErdogan for 90 minutes and break down everything that has happened in the region from Iran to Gaza and Syria to Ukraine. Tucker is at the top of his game right now and Erdogan is the ultimate insider on all four major issues. It would be an incredible interview.

The claim is vacuous and not worth a response, but it's notable that MAGA is turning anti-Turkey, as I long thought it would.
Laura Loomer@LauraLoomer

SCOOP: CIA source tells me the CIA has hard evidence that Turkey, and more specifically the Erdogan @RTErdogan administration, has specifically directed spending for podcasters to undermine the Trump administration’s Middle East agenda. The CIA has evidence of this Turkish funding going to at least one female podcaster and at least one male podcaster. Turkey is the largest financier of the Muslim Brotherhood.

@kurmacabu @SelimKoru Honestly made me wonder if he ever was in Turkey. On the other hand, his audience isn't turkish, so he probably knows what nonsense he writes.

I spent way too much time analyzing a one-minute clip of Erdoğan eating a pastry. Link below.

Maalesef ülkemizde gazetecilik mesleğini namusuyla yapıp halka gerçekleri söylemek bir suç haline dönüştürülmüş durumda. Bir anne baba için, tüm bunlara rağmen mesleğini cesurca icra eden, pırıl pırıl bir evlat yetiştirmekten daha büyük bir vatana hizmet düşünülemezken, onlara tam da bu sebeple bedel ödetiliyor. Bıkmadan, usanmadan, korkmadan sormalıyız: Niçin?

Is Turkey the next target? "In early February, the Nagel Commission, a governmental body tasked with reviewing Israel’s defence budget, warned explicitly of the danger of a “Turkish-Israeli confrontation” and described the Turkish-led Sunni block as “no less serious” a threat than the Iranian axis."writes @SelimKoru It is a must-read piece available on @Equatormag equator.org/articles/death…
