"Turkey is being sold to you as the new “Sunni axis of resistance” against Israel.
It’s a nice story. It also collapses the moment you look at who Turkey is, who it works with, and who benefits.
In today's conversation with William Van Wagenen, we break down the reality: Turkey is a NATO state, its intelligence services work closely with U.S. intelligence, and Erdoğan’s anti-Israel rhetoric is largely performance for a domestic audience that despises Israel.
But follow the pipeline, not the speeches.
For years, Israel has relied on energy routes that run through Turkish corridors. From Iraqi Kurdish oil moving through Turkey and onward, to today’s flows tied to Azerbaijan through regional pipelines, Ankara has been a key facilitator, and it profits from it.
So when you hear “Turkey will lead resistance,” ask the uncomfortable question: resistance against whom, exactly… when the strategic infrastructure keeps serving Israel’s needs?
This video is for geopolitics people who prefer supply lines over slogans, and facts over theater."
