'Civil war’ in the White House heats up
It has been six months since President Donald Trump came to office, but he is unable to actualize his agendas. Trump was hindered on the "congress" and "judiciary" obstacle concerning the "Health Law," the "Migration Law" and "Relations with Russia."... more
Battle of teams in the White House
The conflict and power struggle between U.S. President Donald Trump's think-tanks in the White House has been a matter of discourse for quite a while. The group led by Steve Bannon, the former editor-in-chief of Breitbart, one of the news portals of ... more
Scary developments in the western world!
In many of the articles I wrote before, I warned that attacks on ordinary people in the U.S. and Europe, regardless of whether they are carried out by Daesh or with racist or anti-Islamic motives, are aimed at building a climate of hate between Musli... more
Who will be the 'new enemy' for the US?
The ideological battle between the two big powers was what shaped the “world system” during the Cold War period. The U.S./Western bloc was on one side, while the Soviet Union/East bloc was on the other side. Both sides had an interest in showing the ... more
Strategems in the Middle East
When the Arab Spring first broke out in Syria it was thought that the U.S. administration wanted to bring down the Assad regime. The U.S. supported and maintained this impression. This “fake impression” or “screening,” as we may call it, created expe... more

A little Roosevelt, a little Reagan

American power elites and presidential elections

Sovereign Iraq, Mosul, Bashiqa…
We have expressed many times that “regional countries” instead of “exterritorial powers” need to come together to find a solution for the Syrian and Iraq issues. And again, we have repeatedly said that regional powers have the responsibility to secur... more
They did the same during the Iran-Iraq war
It would be a great surprise if the U.S. and Russia met at the same point in terms of Syria's future, because the ultimate expectations of both countries are very different. Although both powers officially state that they want Syria to keep its terri... more
Why does the US support YPG?
The answer to the question in the headline is generally answered as “The U.S. supports the People's Protection Units (YPG) because it uses it in the ground offensive against Daesh.” Whereas, when the “Arab Spring” started in Syria, the U.S. had made ... more
