Today I want to share with you an exciting historical story, the rise of a new hegemon, which may set off amazing ripples on the world's historical stage. That's right, the protagonist of our story is Turkey, the country that has made its mark in the global political drama.
Turkey: A Rising Challenger
You must know a lot about Iran's history, right? Forty years ago, the Islamic Revolution transformed the country from a government-led state to a religious state, and then to a bond with the United States. However, now another country is beginning to rise as the "second Iran", and that country is Turkey. Through strong industrial development and close cooperation with Russia, Turkey is demonstrating its determination to confront the United States. So, will the United States be up to the challenge of this emerging powerhouse?
Historical background to the rise of Turkey
Turkey was once a member of NATO, but it has undergone a sea change as relations with the Soviet Union have warmed up. In terms of industry, Turkey is not only strong, but also has increasingly close relations with Russia. Domestic religious factors have pushed Turkey to hold high the banner of anti-US and become a force to be reckoned with in the international community. This hardline stance has made Turkey gradually become an alternative to "Iran" and a substantial challenge to the United States.
Turkey's challenge to the United States
The United States has tried to limit Iran's nuclear missile technology by withdrawing from the JCPOA, but this move has caused the United States to lose credibility and the situation has fallen into a passive position for a while. And Turkey, with its strong industrial power and staunch anti-American stance, succeeded in putting pressure on the United States. In the recent exchange of spy hostages with the United States, Turkey refused to release them, shouting at the United States, indicating that no country can threaten Turkey. The United States, on the other hand, appears helpless.
The source of Turkish strength
Turkey's strong industrial strength has given it a dominant position in the Middle East. Industrialization has given Turkey a greater say in geopolitics, something that Iran will acknowledge. In addition, Turkey's hard-nosed attitude also stems from its control of Russia's access to the Black Sea. In this region, under the patronage of Russia, a powerful neighbor, Turkey is no longer an object that the United States can look down on.
The United States responds to Turkey's dilemma
Faced with the rise of Turkey, the United States is in a helpless situation. Turkey's industrial development, cooperative relations with Russia, and its staunch anti-American stance have made it difficult for the United States to deal with it as easily as it has with Iran. Turkey's hardline attitude is a deep headache for the United States, which has to think twice. In the recent diplomatic turmoil, the United States has tried to exert pressure, but Turkey's firm response suggests that the United States can no longer dictate the rising country at will.
The future direction of Turkish-U.S. relations
The contradictions between Turkey and the United States are intensifying, and the relationship between the two countries is also drifting apart. Turkey has demonstrated its independence and international influence through its hardline stance on the United States, while the United States has found it increasingly difficult to control the political chess game in the region. In the future, Turkey is expected to continue to adhere to an independent foreign policy and maintain close relations with Russia and other countries, so as to play a more important role in international affairs.
Conclusion: New challenges facing the United States
Turkey's rise is not only a cause for concern in the Middle East, but also a new challenge for the United States. Its strong industrial power, staunch anti-American stance, and close relations with Russia have made Turkey gradually an alternative to "Iran", posing a real problem for the United States. In the face of this rising country, the United States needs to assess the situation and reassess its role and strategy in geopolitics. In future international relations, Turkey's influence will continue to rise, and the United States must respond cautiously in order to safeguard its own international interests.
