Turkey, why is it so bullish!

author:Kophu

When paying attention to the Turkish earthquake, many people overlooked an important message, the other day, Turkey cut interest rates again, cutting interest rates by 50 basis points in one fell swoop.

As we all know, one of the effects of this tool is to curb deflation.

The Turkish economy is not working? Hair. Many people almost feel that Turkey is dying, plus the big earthquake, their politicians are already burned out!

You feel wrong. A magical Turkey that has been stunning the whole world.

Turkey has been inflationing with the "sky-high" data we have in our consciousness. And their inflation is not a sign of an overheated economy.

During this period, although Turkey is no longer the record of nearly 90% at the end of last year, it still maintains its position at 60%. God, in another country, inflation of 9%, or even 6%, is already in a cold sweat.

But why doesn't Turkey feel it?

This is where the world is dumbfounded. You know, to curb high inflation, the common practice of global central banks is to raise interest rates. But Turkey is doing the opposite, cutting interest rates.

There are also interesting financial instruments such as interest rate adjustments, which are usually the weapon of the central banks of various countries. Turkey is no exception, and its central banker wants to bring down some of the world's best inflation. What to do? Hike rates. But the president did not want to, and the president had his own set of economic cognition. Sure enough, whoever does not cut interest rates leaves, Erdogan has already fired three central bank governors, in his words, "we have been deceived by Western economics for a long time."

Speaking of which, you almost understand that Erdogan does not believe in the "classical" theory of Western economics at all. Just like in many international events, he can make big moves that exceed the expectations of others.

As a result, Western economists have been overwhelmed by Turkey, and finally came to an important conclusion: Turkey is launching a comprehensive challenge to classical economics.

Many people believe that such a practice, Western economics and the Turkish economy, can only live in the end.

It is almost inconceivable that at least for now, the Turkish economy, a larger economy that already has some influence in the global economic framework, has been thriving. You say strange is not strange!

Economically, an entity closely linked to the global economy does not play its cards according to the routine. Diplomatically, Turkey is still "full of tricks", maneuvering and maneuvering, and maneuvering with ease.

Turkey is a member of NATO. However, Erdogan attended the 2022 SCO summit in high spirits and was in the limelight during the summit. How could he attend the meeting if he was not invited.

After the Russian-Ukrainian war, aren't Sweden and Finland going to join NATO? Almost all links are unimpeded, but only Turkey is left, how is the "eye medicine" constant, even the United States is dry staring, no move.

Does anyone remember? Turkey also did a big thing in the Russian-Ukrainian war, a big thing that almost no other country can do, or can not do. The United States can't do it, Britain can't do it, France and Germany can't do it.

What's going on? Through the Black Sea, the world's scarce supplies ---- grain, known as the granary of the world, were transported out of Ukraine. Under the mediation of Turkey, Ukraine exported grain, which greatly alleviated the world food crisis. I remember that at that time, UN Secretary-General Guterres personally went to Turkey and said with great emotion: "Today, there is a beacon on the Black Sea, a beacon of hope, a beacon of possibility, a beacon of liberation in a world that needs to be liberated more than ever." ”

In the ordinary people's impression, is it that the United States is often "praised" as a beacon. Now the lighthouse "stands" on the Eurasian land bridge. The Secretary-General's high evaluation feels that the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize should be awarded to Erdogan.

Does anyone remember that on the Syrian battlefield, Turkey shot down Russian fighters? Changing countries, it is really difficult to predict what kind of retaliatory measures Russia will take. But Putin ignored the past and secretly sent Erdogan vital intelligence on the CIA's involvement in the coup to help him tide over the difficulties... That time, Turkey was almost turned upside down. If you go and look it up, there is a special book about the Turkish coup, including the sudden event of an armed coup as soon as the continental flight landed in Istanbul.

Russian fighters were shot down, not only did not retaliate, but also secretly "protected" each other, what a "heart" and "strength" this requires!

In fact, they all understand that in this world, there are no eternal friends or eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Some people say that Turkey is an important member of NATO, which is a real US ally. According to Article 5 of NATO, whoever touches a hair of Turkey is tantamount to touching the ass of the United States.

Things in the world are so weird. Why did the United States have to secretly give the president of this ally a coup? This brings us to the question of the Kurds, the leading ethnic group of Turkish separatism but secret "allies" of the United States.

Turkey can bomb Syria and Iraq without saying hello to anyone, in fact, it is the Kurdish armed forces in those countries that are bombed. In this way, whether the United States or Russia, there is not a single gas, as if nothing happened. The matter of "respecting the sovereignty of other countries", at this moment, does not exist here in Turkey, is invalid.

No, after the earthquake, Western countries rushed to Turkey to help, highlighting the brotherhood of allies, while Syria next to it, whether it is the disaster or rescue capacity, needs more attention and help, but the vast majority of countries turn a blind eye.

They are all people, they are all disaster victims, they live in different countries, and their treatment is poor.

Excuse me, which country's interior minister (which is almost equivalent to our civil affairs minister) dares to point at the face of the American ambassador and say: "Please take your dirty hands away from Turkey!" ”

Looking around the world, dare to reprimand the United States like this, but the United States has no temper, so Turkey.

Why do Turkish ministers dare to be so powerful? It was only the Western countries, led by the United States, that temporarily closed their consulates in Istanbul on the grounds of the so-called terrorist attack. Turkey believes that this practice has hit its own tourism industry.

Not only against the United States, but also in early February this year, the Turkish Foreign Ministry summoned the ambassadors of the United States, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Britain, Belgium, France, Italy, and Germany to the Foreign Ministry, gathered them in a room, and scolded them bitterly.

You count the countries that fall above the list, influential powers in the West, which one was missed!

But don't forget that Turkey is a real ally with most of these countries.

It is none other than Turkey who plays so "hegemonically" among allies.

Some people say that one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Russian-Ukrainian war is Turkey. This is not an exaggeration. In the past year of the war, Erdogan grabbed the phone at any time, calling Putin whenever he wanted, and calling Zelensky whenever he wanted, and they both quickly picked up the phone.

Who else on this earth can do this!

Yesterday was Erdogan's 69th birthday, and you can almost guess it. President Putin was the first to call him and congratulate him on his birthday. You must know that the day before yesterday, on the 24th, Putin just called Erdogan and "chatted" about cooperation and the views of both sides on the current situation.

President Putin's birthday call to Erdogan said this: You enjoy well-deserved respect among your compatriots and abroad. At this difficult time, in a critical situation, when the Turks are overcoming the tragic consequences of a devastating earthquake, you have shown the best qualities of a statesman and a person, and your balanced and necessary decisions are a full demonstration of your courage and competence ...

How is it, do you think that the "best quality" in this "congratulatory message" is not in place ?!
