When Türkiye shot down the Russian plane, other NATO countries said it was Turkey's problem. Additionally, 4-5 months ago, America opened fire on NATO member Turkey's UAV on the Syrian border. I touched upon very few of the mistakes made by NATO countries against Turkey.
Türkiye doesn't do much to have a good image among NATO members. With frequent anti-west, islamist rhetoric from Erdogan, it's easy to forget Türkiye is part of NATO. Türkiye doesn't always make a show of compassion for other NATO members. Plus, when you look at Erdogan talking to crowds like he think himself as the new sultan who's going to free the islamic world from evil West and evil zionists, you wonder why doesn't anyone shouts (but ofc we know why) : then why the fuck you're still in NATO ?
Turkey has ALWAYS had the control of Black Sea because they control the Bosporus. That is the gist of the treaties that rule the maritime there as well
The fact that the Russian Black Sea Fleet and the Ukrainian Fleet will probably cease to exist by the time the war ends, and the fact that Turkey doesnt allow any warships to the black sea fleet makes them just more dominant, just by controlling the strait and not allowing war ships through they are making themselves the largest navy in the black sea without losing any vessel
It's easy to play brave when you are not neighbouring Russia. Turkey HAS TO play all sides. The USA is not an "ally" anymore because they are cooperating with PKK/YPG. However, Turkey has supported and will support Ukraine as they are fighting for their freedom..
When your surrounded by aggressive empires, playing all sides is a matter of survival. Pakistan is in a similar situation. Both have been historically clos to the US than anyone else. Working with Russia is only a recent development AFTER the US partnered with Russia in Syria and Iraq.
You are mad if you think Russia can do anything against Turkey lol. They barely deal with Ukros that did not have any army but militia before 2014. Where there is Russophiles in their own border.
So you think Turkiye would be scared of Russia.. 😂 It would also be bad news for Russia. You obviously dont have a clue of what Turkish people who they are.. 😊
While you continue to treat Kurds like 2nd class citizens and attack them in another state what do you expect countries to do? Also Turkey back the ethnic cleansing of the Armenians (again)
There's always blatant Turkophobia on this channel. By not showing Turkey as a NATO member, and not even mentioning the fact that Turkey has supported Ukraine since 2014, (and was sending billions of dollars worth of arms while Germany offered to send helmets and Macron was cosying up to Putin) is done on purpose to make it seem more nefarious than it is. This was similar to the Nagorno-Karabakh situation, in which you mentioned Armenian's leaving the region after the war, but failed to mention how it was illegally annexed by Armenia and thousands of Azeris were butchered in the 90s, with several million being made refugees. If you honestly want to be a neutral channel, you need to get out of your tiny westoid Anglo-box and views of 10% of the world, and at least attempt to see how the other 90% of the world looks at geopolitics, because this is sloppy and basically propaganda.
Turkey hasn’t been showing itself as a NATO member for some time, it rides the fence which strategically makes sense. Turkey supporting Ukraine in 2014 is an outgrowth of combating the threat of Russian coastal encroachment to Turkish dominance. Erdogan used the Swedish as a way to get concessions just like playing NATO and Russia against one another to benefit itself in the canal project into the Black Sea.
There is one piece of fake news here. Turkey didn't denied black sea access to British ships. First off, UK donated those ship last year. And According Montreux convention, Both Russian and Ukrainian ships can't use Turkish Straits. And According Head of Ukrainian navy, They didn't ask for passage. So Ships were coming to Turkey and that was their destination. Secondly, This video should have mention, Turkey was also building 4 Corvettes for Ukrainian Navy. Billion dollar naval deal between Turkey and Ukraine was important.
Not really, they are facing a massive brain drain. Almost every educated Turk uni student is desperate to move to another country. Their standard of living due inflation due to growing an army to big for their GDP is causing alot of unrest.
You skipped the fact that Türkiye is building ships for Ukrainian Navy and Bayraktar and other Turkish drones are made with Ukrainian technology transfers. Türkiye refuses access to the Russian Navy ships because those ships are not registered to Black Sea ports. The latter policy and Ukrainian attacks on Russian navy literally crippled the Russian naval capacity in the Black Sea.
UKRAINE hasn't sunk a single Rus Ship. they have all been sunk by NATO operations. NATO weapons used in NATO planned and run operations. Moskova was shot by NASAMs in a UK operation and the UAAVs/Naval drones were filmed being imported via Poland. The Ger government outed the UK Military being based in Odessa where they run the operation using ISRO from US P8s and Globalhawks in the Black Sea, The only operations Rus need the BS Navy for is PGM strikes and only a single cruise missile carrier has been sunk. And why is Ukraine "without a navy"? Funny how that's never brought up in NATO media. The entire UA BS Navy, including 50K sailors+officers and the FIFTH largest Fleet in Europe, defected to the Russian Federation when Crimea seceded from UA in 2015. And no they weren't forced. The UA AF bases stayed with the coup Kiev Gov and RF freely allowed them to take all Aircraft and equipment to mainland UA.
@@King_Scorpia_IV Russia agreed not to invade Ukraine, and we know how that worked out. Biggest mistake they made was giving up their nuclear weapons in good faith, and this is how they are rewarded.
@@SubjectiveFunny I hear this argument too often, but let's just be real, even if Ukraine had nuclears now, would they use them? If they use nuclears that would destroy entire country and start ww3 so even if they wanted to use west wouldn't allow it and in the end perhaps allow Russia to take control of Ukraine just to avoid nuclear catastrophy.
On the other hand - if they aren’t on good footing with Russia, the whole sea will be unusable (for everyone and especially damaging for Turkey‘s position). So it is a give and take - without working together, the sea loses its value.
Türkiye is doing very well by not letting America and other invaders into the Black Sea. In addition, when PKK terrorists launched missile attacks against Turkiye from Syria, the USA and Germany withdrew their air defense systems from Turkiye and left Turkiye in a difficult situation. Despite the PKK terrorists who have been massacring civilians in Turkey for 40 years, the USA and Europe have always taken a stance against Turkey.
@@LoNeLy_WoLF_Nope. Keep your friends close but your enemies more closer. NATO & USA are enemies of Turkey, so Turkey has to be in NATO to know their evil schemes.
Because NATO is a lie, not an alliance built on cooperation and mutual defense. This ended with the disintegration of the Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War, and after that it became a force subordinate to a dominant imperialism that uses NATO to achieve its own agenda and interests.

@@NoviTall Indeed. I think this is similar strategy that Ottoman Empire had doing between Russia and Britain called “Balance of Power” from early 1800 until WW 1 begun in which Britain decided to let Ottoman Empires abolish. Also strait became an issue for first time with signed of 1841 London Staits Convention which Britain sought to constrain Russian Navy pass towards Mediterranean.
Yes, but not all accusations are true. Turks are by nature not the fathers of nations who commit genocide, it is mostly the white Westerners who have committed genocide in history, France, Belgium, England, Spain, and almost all Westerners have committed genocide in Africa, among others. @@history_repeats8201
All of these accusations are baseless, but people refuse to acknowledge them due to their prejudice against Turks. Meanwhile, there's silence about Germany's genocide of 4 million Jews and other atrocities committed by Russia and America, such as the atomic bombings of Japan and the killing of children in the Middle East. Isn't it hypocritical how people act? Westerners' hatred towards Turks has blinded them." @@history_repeats8201

Türkiye is handling the situation quite well. It also helps Ukraine in the war. It continues on its way without damaging its relations with Russia and without shaking its own economy. If NATO enters the Black Sea, there will be great confusion and huge threats for Turkey. After all, other NATO countries do not have a border with Russia, but Turkey does, so they are always careful and cautious about Russia.
Turkey: 'We are winning the war for the Black Sea dominance!' Everybody else: 'How did you do it???' Turkey: '... we did not invade our neighbours and generally did nothing ...' ...

@@dalecooper7949 well, atm they can block any millitary vessel passing Bosphorus. pretty sure they have a right to block any military vessel at any time. not only during conflicts in the sea.
@@robertmax88They can block Russian and Ukrainian military vessels. Any others are regulated in with the Montreux convention. So non Black Sea region countries were limited anyway for the tonnage of the ships with which they could enter the Black Sea. But for example if the UK or the US wants to go with higher tonnage vessels, like aircraft carriers, Turkey can't make an exemption. At the same time Turkey can't block any warships (except Russia and Ukraine) with the right tonnage. They can't block military vessels except for countries in war. Which this rule is used only the second time. The first one was during WWII. So, it is very rare anyway and is only for countries in war. For countries not in any war Turkey can't block military vessels with the correct tonnage.
Why does your channel constantly act as if Türkiye is not a member of NATO? Why do you always criticize Turkey? But when it comes to European and US interests, you always want Turkey (Ukraine-Russia war, Istanbul agreement, etc.) you are a hypocrite.
It's the fault of Turkish People , there is still the mentality of everything european is better and superior , we want to join them because everything in this world is just about Money , we do not care Religion we just say Allah Huakbar when we are treated badly or as an empty Phrase to motivate the slaves . This is why i don't like Freemasonry , the deception is so blatant , and secretly everyone is aware of the fact that something is abnormal in the society but we rather do as if everything was alright , because we are to afraid to face our problems .
Economic relations with Russia give Turkey more benefits, than full involvement in any war on Western side. I hope Turks will be still wise enough to understand this.
Being smart? We were ending the war in Antalya! Ukraine believed the British and walked away from the table. We are neighbors with Ukraine and Russia on the Black Sea. And we have never supported war. Everyone around us is at war. War affects us as much as those who fight it.
It doesn't give Ordinary turkish people a sh.. neither gives it any benefits to ordinary russian people , it's the RIch , a small minority clique . The prices for everything has gone through the roof , no we don't benefit .
1:50 Romania was never a Soviet Socialist Republic (SSR), simply a Socialist Republic (formal name Romanaian Socialist Republic, or RSR). Calling it the Romanian SSR might leave veiwers thinking it was a Soviet Republic in the USSR rather than a formally independent satellite state.
Well there is also a massive investment side for Turkish naval force for 20 years and most of the new vessels are Turkish made I guess this also effects the balance of power since Russia lost almost half of its fleet to Ukraine
@@illuminati2341 If we compare with US, true but in Black Sea region there is a different story. Turkey and Russia are historically rivals there. There were a constant war between 1600 till 1917. In a way the wars with Russia end the Ottoman dynasty. Also, nobody can say that Russia was never a naval power. They were always in top 5.
Because they do a lot of business together the Russian tourists alone in Turkey in summer brings billions to Turkey every year not to mention other tourists from UK, Germany etc

Türkiye is well awere that Ukraine and Russia both have vital importance for Türkiye neither of them dispensable. Turkish new built navy ships and as well the others are fully fitted vessels especialy in sense of state of art electronic warfare. Neither on Mediterrean nor in Black Sea there exist any match to them.
Frankly speaking, Russia gained a great advantage in the Black Sea, gained full dominance in the Sea of Azov and established a land and sea connection between Crimea and Donest.

Russia now controls almost 70% of Ukrainian coast line and has significant influence in costal region of Georgia. Russia is the second largest manufacturer of weapons and third largest manufacturer of warships in the world so they'll quickly recover the lost military resources once the war ends. not to mention they are the largest Nuclear power in the world. You keep watching European news channels idiot.
you are correct, but the map is more focused on neighbouring countries, also it would not help to show the change, Turkey would be Nato both before and after
@@regarded9702 I mean given Erdogan's track record he's not exactly a team player, he wants the best of both worlds and will happily drop NATO like a sack of potatoes should the alliance ever become inconvenient to his ambitions. If any leader in NATO is to be considered "on-the-fence", it's him. No offense to Turkiye mind, they just have a rather transparently self-interested leader.
Location, location, location... Turkey without a doubt, is one of the most vital members of this alliance. Yes they're problematic, but they're irreplaceable. Erdogan knows it and everyone in Nato knows it. Think about a county that holds the keys for Russia's access to the outside world. You don't get any more starategic than this.

- Even during the Cold War Era, Turkey did not allow military drills in BlackSea carried out by NATO with the strategy to avoid provoking Russia. Otherwise this area would turn into something like Persian Gulf today... NATO is sometimes becoming a military organisation to protect itself against (albeit all decisions are supposed to be unanimously taken). - Türkiye helped Georgia with building an air base, which was immediately destroyed by Russia during its annexation of Abhasia and Ossetia. - There is also a pipeline between Samsun (city in BlackSea) through Ceyhan (town in Mediterrenean Sea), which is being used by Russia together with Kazakhtan and Azerbaijan oil exports. Existence of this infrastructure significantly reduces naval demand on the Boshphorus traffic.
1:53 ??? Turkiye is a NATO member as well Also failed to mention pipelines from Azerbaijan to Turkiye Crazy how this is being spun as Turkiye on its own when they are NATO and have been almost since the beginning Discrediting the alliance and of course taking shots at the US, because well that seems to be the par for the course. Lame I'm happy for Turkiye no matter what, but I would be hard pressed to assume this was "all on their own" as they have long standing relationships with all western countries. This type of rhetoric makes me sad for the world leading into the future
Turkey becoming more dominant in the black sea is important to NATO, but NATO itself has little to do with it. What they are doing there, they're doing it by themselves.
The ads are getting ridiculously long. Granted they are at the end of the videos but still make up 20% of the videos length. It wouldn't be so bad if they were not so damn repetitive.

That Northwest Caucasian shore used to belong to Circassians, until they were genocided by the Russian empire. In 2003 Putin's government erected a statue to one of the most prominent figures in that genocide, Grigory von Zass. The man was a monster, who collected body parts and skulls of the defeated Circassians, and r*p*d women and children. This is the kind of country Russia is. In 2014 Circassians protested against the Olympic Games being conducted in Sochi, their ancestral land and a land of genocide. Their protests were ignored by both Russia and the international community.
@@genovayork2468 because it's disrespectful and further contributes to the erasure of their history. Sochi is the sight of a massacre. Doing massive "games" and celebrations there is messed up.
NATO backed? Turkey is in NATO, the 2nd largest military even. The reason they are playing most sides is because they are huge and very strategically placed and they can do it - their main interest is against the kurds in their midst - i feel sorry for kurds sometimes, being the biggest nation on the planet without a state (they are also in syria, Iraq, Iran and others there)

Take in mind that they just give a quick summary without diving deeper than surface level. Also beware of the graphs they show that can be misrepresenting e.g. showing only a period certain period of time (showing a 5 year period causing the graph to show an immense increase or decline, but if you'd look at a period of 10 years the graph would be less shocking) or starting at a graph at a high or low value (e.g. when talking about inflation rate they put the figures in a graph which bottom is 20% (in the bottom left corner) and top level is 30%(in the upper left corner), thus showing a huge shift while if it would be a graph starting at 0% going up to 50% and then put the figures in the graph it once again would show less spectaculair results. Still a very good channel summarizing or explaining difficult events in easy to understand language.
@@ButcherOfBeek also wrong informations. For example gas exploration of Turkey in Black Sea is not related with UA-RU war, EEZ of Turkey is same since Soviet Era. Additionally because of Montreux convention, even NATO ships can't use Turkish Straits as like as they want. What is more, Turkey help a lot to UA to develop its potantial in Black Sea. So I didnt understand why this guys love come from to the channel.
Turkey declared a 200-mile EEZ in the Black Sea in 1986 and subsequently defined its borders through an exchange of letters with the USSR and an agreement with Bulgaria in 1997. The Organisation of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC), a regional economic cooperation organisation, was established with the Istanbul Summit held on 25 June 1992 under the leadership of Turkey and its Permanent Secretariat, which was opened in 1994, is located in Istanbul. BSEC has 13 members, namely Albania, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Bulgaria, Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, North Macedonia, Romania, Russian Federation, Serbia, Turkey, Greece, Ukraine and Turkey. Turkey is searching for gas within its own borders in the Black Sea. There is no violation of the rights of Russia or other Black Sea coastal states. There is no reason for them to feel uncomfortable.
Throughout history, we have fought with Russians for centuries, and the victor of these wars has always been Western Europe. Even in World War I, if we had lost the Battle of Gallipoli, Western forces would have passed through the straits and reached Russia, preventing the October Revolution. Russians and Turks have now realized this. Of course, there may be occasional tensions and regional rivalries, which are natural. However, there will never be a winner in a Russian-Turkish war; the winner will always be Europe because Europeans do not like either Turks or Russians. Therefore, Russians and Turks are a balancing factor. If they were to go to war, both civilizations would lose.
The way things look now, Ukraine is close to controlling the entirity of the Black Sea, even though it doesn't have a navy. Turkey won't let combatant ships through from the Mediterranean, of any nation. That's ancient policy.
The black sea has a regional importance, I guess, but unlike the mediterranean or red sea, it hasn't a huge importance worldwide since it has no direct access to oceans.
I would not be surprised to see in the near future for Ukraine and Turkey to form some kind of agreement or alliance in the Black Sea to keep Russia in check to the benefit of both countries at the expense of Russia.
I think Ukraine also have oil reserves in their own EEZ that they’d like to tap into. No doubt if they can capitalise on Turkish naval security, it’d be a economic boon for them.
It's quite possible if (and when) the war ends with Ukraine staying out of Nato. Otherwise there will be a sort of automatic alliance anyway, under Nato.
In the Black Sea, the borders are definite and there is no tension over them. The rising power of Russia in the Black Sea is not something Turkey desires. Restricting warships from entering the Black Sea is in the interest of both Turkey and Ukraine.
Curious to see more of this from the Ukrainian perspective, more so they’ve been hitting pretty hard for Crimea, but how much do they have ahead of them?
I might have miss understood you. But I understood the question as what they have ahrad of them to take thr Island back. The answer is.... everything. That dream died with the last Ukrainian offensive. They wont get the Island in this war. And probably not for the next 100 years
I will direct you to the population collapse of Ukrn video(search it) then the most landmined country in world then can US take on growing chinese influence(cause US seems like prefers taking Russia some reason)

Minor nitpick. "Literal" and "Littoral" are very easy to distinguish when reading but sound extremely similar when spoken. You might want to use different phrasing in the future when talking about countries that share a common body of water.
No worries nor he doesnt want black sea turks can have half of it heck turks can even have the international waters for all putin cares. Your wishes are cool
How long this constant jumping ? This channel itself posted Russia wasnt powerful even before ukrn it was losing influence and you are saying it had power to lose after ukrn ?
I wonder if this is any precedence that physical naval warships will play a more insignificant roll due to newer improvements in naval warfare. Just how air craft carriers made battleships obsolete, drones and missles seem to have made the idea of ships even more redundant. There will always be a need for em. But I wouldnt be surprised if fleet sizes decreased because they are so vulnerable in the modern age.
I love it that you stopped caring about the bloopers and now just leave them in for everyone to see the creative process. Soon editing might not be needed at all - you can just stream live from your bed, warts and all.
Russia gained more ports and control larger cost line. As war in Ukraine has shown, the black sea is a puddle and no navy can feel safe there. No air defense can protect anything. Advanced AD systems as patriot and s400 were destroyed by a direct hits, those, AD can not defend even itself. However, sanctions and restrictions on Russia allowed Turkey to greatly benefit from the conflict. This should have been emphasised instead.
used to criticize the same way but she progressed a lot, trust me for an east-european girl she speaks amazingly. also discovered she writes on the show too not just an anchor
With new South corridor to Iranian ports, with currently opening Trans-Afghanistan corridor from Central Asia to Pakistani ports, with intensively growing Arctic seaway and Far-Eastern ports Russia is not critically dependent on Black Sea. If Turkey wants to play with Bosphorus straight it will be more problems for herself in future. Because cargoes may leave Black sea and never return.
I hope that the Circassian diaspora in Turkey reminds Erdogan from time to time of the history of the Russian conquest of the Caucasus and of the Black Sea coast.

@@lawtraf8008 Well said!
There's always blatant Turkophobia on this channel. By not showing Turkey as a NATO member, and not even mentioning the fact that Turkey has supported Ukraine since 2014, (and was sending billions of dollars worth of arms while Germany offered to send helmets and Macron was cosying up to Putin) is done on purpose to make it seem more nefarious than it is. This was similar to the Nagorno-Karabakh situation, in which you mentioned Armenian's leaving the region after the war, but failed to mention how it was illegally annexed by Armenia and thousands of Azeris were butchered in the 90s, with several million being made refugees.
If you honestly want to be a neutral channel, you need to get out of your tiny westoid Anglo-box and views of 10% of the world, and at least attempt to see how the other 90% of the world looks at geopolitics, because this is sloppy and basically propaganda.
Big applause to your points. Yes, this channel weirdly skewed and unprofessional most of the time!
Exactly what I think. Well said my friend.

Absolutely
Turkey hasn’t been showing itself as a NATO member for some time, it rides the fence which strategically makes sense. Turkey supporting Ukraine in 2014 is an outgrowth of combating the threat of Russian coastal encroachment to Turkish dominance. Erdogan used the Swedish as a way to get concessions just like playing NATO and Russia against one another to benefit itself in the canal project into the Black Sea.
There is one piece of fake news here. Turkey didn't denied black sea access to British ships. First off, UK donated those ship last year. And According Montreux convention, Both Russian and Ukrainian ships can't use Turkish Straits. And According Head of Ukrainian navy, They didn't ask for passage. So Ships were coming to Turkey and that was their destination. Secondly, This video should have mention, Turkey was also building 4 Corvettes for Ukrainian Navy. Billion dollar naval deal between Turkey and Ukraine was important.
Turkey is good in performing the balancing act.
because you have to do it
Not really, they are facing a massive brain drain. Almost every educated Turk uni student is desperate to move to another country. Their standard of living due inflation due to growing an army to big for their GDP is causing alot of unrest.
For ordinary People in Turkey it's like an Elephant in the glass house
You skipped the fact that Türkiye is building ships for Ukrainian Navy and Bayraktar and other Turkish drones are made with Ukrainian technology transfers. Türkiye refuses access to the Russian Navy ships because those ships are not registered to Black Sea ports. The latter policy and Ukrainian attacks on Russian navy literally crippled the Russian naval capacity in the Black Sea.
I also thought that these factors must be listed. Especially when you one third of your analysis is an advertisement of brilliant))
UKRAINE hasn't sunk a single Rus Ship. they have all been sunk by NATO operations. NATO weapons used in NATO planned and run operations. Moskova was shot by NASAMs in a UK operation and the UAAVs/Naval drones were filmed being imported via Poland. The Ger government outed the UK Military being based in Odessa where they run the operation using ISRO from US P8s and Globalhawks in the Black Sea,
The only operations Rus need the BS Navy for is PGM strikes and only a single cruise missile carrier has been sunk.
And why is Ukraine "without a navy"? Funny how that's never brought up in NATO media. The entire UA BS Navy, including 50K sailors+officers and the FIFTH largest Fleet in Europe, defected to the Russian Federation when Crimea seceded from UA in 2015. And no they weren't forced. The UA AF bases stayed with the coup Kiev Gov and RF freely allowed them to take all Aircraft and equipment to mainland UA.

@@King_Scorpia_IV Russia agreed not to invade Ukraine, and we know how that worked out.
Biggest mistake they made was giving up their nuclear weapons in good faith, and this is how they are rewarded.
@@SubjectiveFunny I hear this argument too often, but let's just be real, even if Ukraine had nuclears now, would they use them? If they use nuclears that would destroy entire country and start ww3 so even if they wanted to use west wouldn't allow it and in the end perhaps allow Russia to take control of Ukraine just to avoid nuclear catastrophy.
On the other hand - if they aren’t on good footing with Russia, the whole sea will be unusable (for everyone and especially damaging for Turkey‘s position).
So it is a give and take - without working together, the sea loses its value.
@@King_Scorpia_IVTurkey is also allowed to close it to anyone who is involved in a military conflict... See where that goes
Türkiye is doing very well by not letting America and other invaders into the Black Sea. In addition, when PKK terrorists launched missile attacks against Turkiye from Syria, the USA and Germany withdrew their air defense systems from Turkiye and left Turkiye in a difficult situation. Despite the PKK terrorists who have been massacring civilians in Turkey for 40 years, the USA and Europe have always taken a stance against Turkey.
Trust Satan but NEVER THE WEST
Isn't the PKK also funded by Sweden? I think they pulled their funding when they entered NATO, still really suspicious...
Of course no!

@@LoNeLy_WoLF_Nope. Keep your friends close but your enemies more closer. NATO & USA are enemies of Turkey, so Turkey has to be in NATO to know their evil schemes.

Because NATO is a lie, not an alliance built on cooperation and mutual defense. This ended with the disintegration of the Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War, and after that it became a force subordinate to a dominant imperialism that uses NATO to achieve its own agenda and interests.
Türkiye is a member of NATO but they have their own ambitions. They act more independent compared to other NATO members.

It is also natural result of that all sides want cooperate with Turkiye to some extent, but also they consider Turkiye as posing threat to their insterest if he gain power. This is valid premise for all countries but more profound for Turkiye when have regard to his geopolitical state.

But for example if the UK or the US wants to go with higher tonnage vessels, like aircraft carriers, Turkey can't make an exemption. At the same time Turkey can't block any warships (except Russia and Ukraine) with the right tonnage.
They can't block military vessels except for countries in war. Which this rule is used only the second time. The first one was during WWII. So, it is very rare anyway and is only for countries in war. For countries not in any war Turkey can't block military vessels with the correct tonnage.

- Even during the Cold War Era, Turkey did not allow military drills in BlackSea carried out by NATO with the strategy to avoid provoking Russia. Otherwise this area would turn into something like Persian Gulf today... NATO is sometimes becoming a military organisation to protect itself against (albeit all decisions are supposed to be unanimously taken).
- Türkiye helped Georgia with building an air base, which was immediately destroyed by Russia during its annexation of Abhasia and Ossetia.
- There is also a pipeline between Samsun (city in BlackSea) through Ceyhan (town in Mediterrenean Sea), which is being used by Russia together with Kazakhtan and Azerbaijan oil exports. Existence of this infrastructure significantly reduces naval demand on the Boshphorus traffic.
1:53 ??? Turkiye is a NATO member as well

Discrediting the alliance and of course taking shots at the US, because well that seems to be the par for the course. Lame
I'm happy for Turkiye no matter what, but I would be hard pressed to assume this was "all on their own" as they have long standing relationships with all western countries.

Turkey declared a 200-mile EEZ in the Black Sea in 1986 and subsequently defined its borders through an exchange of letters with the USSR and an agreement with Bulgaria in 1997.
The Organisation of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC), a regional economic cooperation organisation, was established with the Istanbul Summit held on 25 June 1992 under the leadership of Turkey and its Permanent Secretariat, which was opened in 1994, is located in Istanbul.
BSEC has 13 members, namely Albania, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Bulgaria, Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, North Macedonia, Romania, Russian Federation, Serbia, Turkey, Greece, Ukraine and Turkey.
Turkey is searching for gas within its own borders in the Black Sea. There is no violation of the rights of Russia or other Black Sea coastal states. There is no reason for them to feel uncomfortable.

I love this new host! Her pronunciation and delivery is consistently great.
Turkey has controlled the Bosporus since it emerged from the ashes of the Ottoman Empire, I think Turkey wins control of the Black Sea by default...
No, it belongs to Russia. Stop your disgusting anti-Putin lies.
Throughout history, we have fought with Russians for centuries, and the victor of these wars has always been Western Europe. Even in World War I, if we had lost the Battle of Gallipoli, Western forces would have passed through the straits and reached Russia, preventing the October Revolution. Russians and Turks have now realized this. Of course, there may be occasional tensions and regional rivalries, which are natural. However, there will never be a winner in a Russian-Turkish war; the winner will always be Europe because Europeans do not like either Turks or Russians. Therefore, Russians and Turks are a balancing factor. If they were to go to war, both civilizations would lose.
The way things look now, Ukraine is close to controlling the entirity of the Black Sea, even though it doesn't have a navy. Turkey won't let combatant ships through from the Mediterranean, of any nation. That's ancient policy.
The black sea has a regional importance, I guess, but unlike the mediterranean or red sea, it hasn't a huge importance worldwide since it has no direct access to oceans.
It has massive worldwide importance - nearly 20% of all the worlds barley and 50% of all sunflower oil comes out of the black sea.
I would not be surprised to see in the near future for Ukraine and Turkey to form some kind of agreement or alliance in the Black Sea to keep Russia in check to the benefit of both countries at the expense of Russia.
I think Ukraine also have oil reserves in their own EEZ that they’d like to tap into. No doubt if they can capitalise on Turkish naval security, it’d be a economic boon for them.
Ukraine is going be lucky if they remain on the coast of black sea. Unfortunately
well it happened before war.
turkey and ukraine started to do joined military establishments.
i think this war was expected.
@@ozgurd5920yep they also tried to pit turkey against russia in that way hoping ukrn will go unnoticed
It's quite possible if (and when) the war ends with Ukraine staying out of Nato. Otherwise there will be a sort of automatic alliance anyway, under Nato.
I have to say, tldr legit is becoming my main news hub…
Well done Türkiye
In the Black Sea, the borders are definite and there is no tension over them. The rising power of Russia in the Black Sea is not something Turkey desires. Restricting warships from entering the Black Sea is in the interest of both Turkey and Ukraine.
It is good to see new faces.
Especially when they're fit
@@epjarvis1285 oh gah dam 😳
A solid and unbiased analysis - good job guys!
Not turkey Turkiye. Country's name accepted by NATO and BM. That is the official name. That's not a professional channel i think.
It's Turkey 🦃
Brilliant as ever. Thanx!
Curious to see more of this from the Ukrainian perspective, more so they’ve been hitting pretty hard for Crimea, but how much do they have ahead of them?
I might have miss understood you. But I understood the question as what they have ahrad of them to take thr Island back.
The answer is.... everything. That dream died with the last Ukrainian offensive. They wont get the Island in this war. And probably not for the next 100 years
I will direct you to the population collapse of Ukrn video(search it) then the most landmined country in world then can US take on growing chinese influence(cause US seems like prefers taking Russia some reason)
Brilliant! (In more ways than one.... gonna look into the data science learning too!)
“To try everythi- bla. To try everything…” 😂 8:03
Somethings just never change
Well observed.
TÜRKİYE COMPLETELY KNOWS THAT What happened in Syria and Iraq and even in Afghanistan and Libya are THE LAST CRUSADE ATTACKS formatted according to the conditions of the 21st Century.
AND TURKEY ALSO KNOWS THAT NATO IS A CRUSADER ALLIANCE AND THAT WHEN THERE IS AN ATTACK ON TÜRKİYE, NATO WILL NEVER COME TO IT'S HELP. TURKEY HAS BEEN FIGHTING THE pkk TERRORIST ORGANIZATION, WHICH IS TRYING TO DIVIDE OUR COUNTRY FOR 40 YEARS. WESTERN NATO ALLIES NEVER HELPED TÜRKİYE IN THIS STRUGGLE. ON THE CONTRARY, THEY GAVE WEAPONS TO THE pkk TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. THEY PROVIDED THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS TERRORIST ORGANIZATION TO WORK FREELY. HOW SHOULD TÜRKİYE TRUST THIS NATO?
Minor nitpick. "Literal" and "Littoral" are very easy to distinguish when reading but sound extremely similar when spoken. You might want to use different phrasing in the future when talking about countries that share a common body of water.
Way too much geography for putin to remain in power over .
No worries nor he doesnt want black sea turks can have half of it heck turks can even have the international waters for all putin cares. Your wishes are cool
Most fascinating country on earth.
It's incredible how spectacularly bad this war has been for Russia.
It has been worse for Ukrainians, don't ignore the victims.
How long this constant jumping ? This channel itself posted Russia wasnt powerful even before ukrn it was losing influence and you are saying it had power to lose after ukrn ?

For everyone debating this in the comments: this presenter is Nadja, NOT Georgina. And she’s done a couple of segments but she’s fairly new.
What interesting news
I wonder if this is any precedence that physical naval warships will play a more insignificant roll due to newer improvements in naval warfare. Just how air craft carriers made battleships obsolete, drones and missles seem to have made the idea of ships even more redundant.
There will always be a need for em. But I wouldnt be surprised if fleet sizes decreased because they are so vulnerable in the modern age.
Who's this beautiful British lady giving us the best news or the news I guess? my God
Lol your editor isn’t actually watching or listening to the videos, there it three separate times where a bad take wasn't cut out.
says you
I love it that you stopped caring about the bloopers and now just leave them in for everyone to see the creative process. Soon editing might not be needed at all - you can just stream live from your bed, warts and all.
Bravo Turkey❤❤
At this time Turkey can invade Russia without nato help
Asla, Rusya komşumuz, çok beklersiniz.
Hayır. Rusyayı seviyoruz.🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Russia gained more ports and control larger cost line. As war in Ukraine has shown, the black sea is a puddle and no navy can feel safe there. No air defense can protect anything. Advanced AD systems as patriot and s400 were destroyed by a direct hits, those, AD can not defend even itself. However, sanctions and restrictions on Russia allowed Turkey to greatly benefit from the conflict. This should have been emphasised instead.
we are natural sasha but we love womens of both sides :)
Watch the brilliant ad at the end 😂
why did they leave that in lol
Turkey is in a legitimately complicated situation, and the one in charge to handle it is... this guy.
Other than having nukes, Russia is no match for Turkey in conventional war as we have seen it in Armenia, Libya, Syria and so on.
Romania was never pro Soviet during communism. Do your research, and why America sent aid to Romania since it wasn’t friendly with Moscow.
8:03 to try every *bleurgh* brilliant has to offer for free...
Funny but its fine lol
10/10 love the bloopers
She said brilliant?? I don't get all the comments, can someone explain it please?
@@jar985The video was edited. You can shorten published videos to remove or hide parts of them.
my first time commenting but that mistake made me laugh i was not expecting that XD
(anyways keep up the good work TLDR)
new fave anchor on your channel
Great hair style for this job. Much improved from your starting on TDLR. Perfect voice for this work as well.
I would love if the speaker would speak with a bit more melody and inflection, now it sounds like an AI-generated voice.
used to criticize the same way but she progressed a lot, trust me for an east-european girl she speaks amazingly. also discovered she writes on the show too not just an anchor
She's new so it's normal. She'll develop her style.
With new South corridor to Iranian ports, with currently opening Trans-Afghanistan corridor from Central Asia to Pakistani ports, with intensively growing Arctic seaway and Far-Eastern ports Russia is not critically dependent on Black Sea. If Turkey wants to play with Bosphorus straight it will be more problems for herself in future. Because cargoes may leave Black sea and never return.
look at the clever persia )-:
Interesting thanks and also note that US Black Sea Strategy integrated into 2024 NDAA - US, NATO and Turkey seek greater control of Black Sea ....
I hope that the Circassian diaspora in Turkey reminds Erdogan from time to time of the history of the Russian conquest of the Caucasus and of the Black Sea coast.
Yeah, just like Turkey would care for any of their minorities 😂
Erdogan's ancestors come from Georgia anyway :)
Erdogan himself is a minority@@Felixxxxxxxxx
USSR CCCP BAD BAD BAD
Australia 😒 USSR CCCP
I hadn't heard that Turkey has a gas field in the Black Sea.
Found couple of years ago
But it's not related with UA-RU war, EEZ zones are same since Soviet Era
