These two days just finished talking about Turkey and Erdogan, in recent years, I feel that Turkey has changed, and it has become incomprehensible, mainly in the form of Turkey often calling out Western countries and even making unexpected moves. The reason why Turkey has changed so much is mainly related to the country's President Erdogan.
After Erdogan came to power, he was not afraid of the West, no country was afraid, and he also asked the United Nations to reform and abolish the five permanent members. Some say Erdogan is crazy and wants to restore the glory of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. No wonder some call Erdogan the "Sultan" of the new era.
On October 24, according to media sources, Turkey once again made an "amazing" move, issuing an ultimatum to the ambassadors of 10 Western countries to Turkey: it will expel the United States, Germany, France, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and New Zealand. This is to give the 10 Western countries an advance warning, and does not rule out Turkey's next move to expel.

Why is Turkey so bullish that it dares to issue deportation orders to the ambassadors of 10 Western countries led by the United States? In fact, it is because of the Kavala incident.
Kavala, a Turkish philanthropist who took part in the Turkish coup in 2016, has long been held in prison by Turkey. It is said that the person may be sentenced to life imprisonment, which is capital punishment in Turkey, and it is possible to die in prison.
During the 2016 Turkish coup, Russia revealed intelligence to Erdogan in advance to let Erdogan pay attention. At that time, Erdogan was not quite convinced, but the coup d'état almost brought Erdogan down. If Erdogan steps down, he will inevitably be in jail. Turkey will also change the sky.
After Erdogan thwarted the coup, he arrested a large number of people involved in the coup and arrested and imprisoned some of the coup participants and sentenced them. It is said that the coup was a trickster in the United States, and Erdogan, after learning of this situation, has hated the United States to the bone.
Kavala was arrested for his involvement in the coup, but the West saw Turkey as an opportunity to crack down on dissident political persecution. So Turkey has been allowed to release Kavala.
Just on October 18, the United States and 10 other Western countries even issued a joint statement demanding that Turkey immediately release Kavala. This kind of demanding tone is not good at all in Erdogan's eyes. Turkey immediately summoned the ambassadors of 10 countries to Turkey and scolded them.
Then Erdogan appeared, and Erdogan dared to scold and say anything. Erdogan scolded the ambassadors of 10 countries, including the United States. At that time, the outside world thought that Turkey had begun to call out Western countries again, and there would be follow-up actions.
Sure enough, after Erdogan finished scolding, he said to the outside world: "The ambassadors of the 10 countries will be expelled!" ”
The outside world once again pays attention to Erdogan's words, knowing that Erdogan is a man who dares to say and dare to do, and has a lofty ambition, wanting to be both a "sultan" and a "King of turks", and even to control the Middle East.
For Erdogan's words again, the 10 countries in the West must be nervous. Everyone knows that the direct expulsion of the ambassador means the severance of diplomatic relations, and the deterioration of relations does not preclude the march towards war. Of course, some countries are not afraid of Turkey, and the United States is certainly not afraid.

Does Turkey really dare to expel the 10 Western ambassadors?
The outside world thinks that this possibility is possible, because Erdogan has always been very disgusted with the West. In particular, the United States always wants to interfere in Turkey's internal affairs, causing Turkey to be dissatisfied. The other 9 are all followers of the United States, following the United States. If Turkey is not tough, then the Western countries will continue to interfere in Turkey's internal affairs. Only when Turkey fights back hard will the West stop.
Others argue that Turkey is just too much of a mouthful, and that if it really wants to expel the ambassadors of 10 countries, it is a serious diplomatic crisis. Turkey may change its mouth in a few days. Of course, Erdogan is so tough, if the West does not first show its overtures to Turkey, the possibility of Erdogan changing his mouth is very small.
But since Erdogan's harsh words have been released, there must always be action. It is impossible for the ambassador to be expelled in its entirety, in which case diplomatic relations will be severed and it will be difficult to bridge. But the West does not bow its head, Turkey will not be soft, always give Erdogan a step down, do not rule out Turkey continues to fight with the 10 countries in the West. Among the 10 countries, there are many European countries, if Erdogan is really anxious, Turkey will open the door of the country, and a large number of Middle Eastern refugees in Turkey will flock to Europe.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="20" >3, what information is exposed? </h1>
Judging from the contradictions between Turkey and 10 countries such as the United States, Turkey is very tough and is not afraid of Western suppression. But it also revealed a lot of information, which deserves the attention of the outside world.
The first is Turkey's relations with Western countries. Although Turkey is a NATO country and also belongs to the camp of Western countries, Turkey is a Muslim country, while 10 countries such as the United States are Christian countries. This religious contradiction has never been bridged. Western countries have always looked at Turkey differently, and Turkey has not succeeded in integrating into the European Union, so this contradiction between religions is difficult to integrate and has always existed.
Second, Turkey has brought out the contradictions between Western countries. At present, Turkey not only has contradictions with 10 countries such as the United States, but also has contradictions between 10 countries. Why are there no UK and Australia among the 10 countries? Britain and Australia have learned to commit adultery, thinking that there is no need to mix this kind of thing, and there is no point in offending Turkey.
The United States and France, virtue, Germany, France, Britain and France and other countries also have contradictions. And the United States does not want the European Union to be strong, nor does it want Europe to unite. Dividing European countries and making European countries contradict each other is the purpose of the United States.
Of course, the United States still wants to control Europe, but now in the face of various contradictions in the West, it is difficult for the United States to unite these allies.
Why is the United States engaged in Turkey? Mainly for its own interests, but when it encountered Erdogan, who could not enter the oil and salt, the United States was helpless.
Third, the U.S.-led West is not terrible. Whether it is NATO or the United States engaging in so-called countries with the same values, they are all fake, and many countries follow the United States only for the sake of profit, not sincerity. Even the stupid bird of Australia is aware of this problem.
This problem of disunity in Western countries has existed for a long time, and it will continue to exist, and it is possible that more and more problems will accumulate, and to a certain extent, conflicts may break out. Don't think that Western countries look at the United States, and SQ countries like Lithuania and the Czech Republic are rare. Western countries are full of contradictions and it is difficult to get together, so it is not terrible for the United States to win over allies to engage in alliances.
Now that the United States is embarrassed and Erdogan has lifted the fig leaf of the so-called "unity" of Western countries, how will the United States end?
