It was always said... ''The cards are being reshuffled (or redistributed) in the Middle East''. A new power is born or an old one collapses... And then this cliché follows.
US President Trump, especially when elected for the second time, achieved victory with the MAGA (Make America Great Again) slogan and the forces that gathered around it. The fundamental expectations and claims of this segment were as follows:
1) We will withdraw from being the world's policeman. We will turn inward.
2) We will not pour money into other countries.
3) We will fight against the cultural left (WOKE).
4) We will not lose American soldiers in other people's wars.
5) We will put an end to the positive discrimination policies of the cultural left.
6) We will release the Epstein Files.
These promises resonated widely in US society. Although the educated, middle, and upper-middle classes who opposed Trump had their objections, Trump won as a result of their inability to find a strong alternative candidate and their failure to get voters to the polls.
Then came the time for the promises. Although concrete steps were not taken sufficiently in the fight against the Cultural Left, as a result of the termination of USAID and the US withdrawal from environmentalist/ecologist and globalist agreements, ''democrats'' around the world began to experience problems. In the EU, the votes of the far-right and far-left began to increase. Politics under the guidance of US democrats or those following globalist policies weakened across the globe. Even in Turkey, various think tanks faced financial problems.
But there are two issues that were enough to shatter the alliance supporting Trump. The Epstein Files were partially released. Even these disclosures shook the agenda and Western politics. It turns out that Western intellectuals, politicians, businesspeople, and artists were caught in the Epstein network. Epstein's MOSSAD agency, although not yet proven, is now a fact in the eyes of many segments. Some claimed that through Epstein, the US had surrendered to MOSSAD and therefore to Israel; others claimed that all world elites belong to occultist structures and that they all worship an ancient Canaanite/Middle Eastern god named Baal. Whichever it may be, we can say that they have dedicated their minds, money, and power to a non-US power and/or owe their power to this mysterious force.
With the release of the Epstein Files, Trump's throne began to shake. So much so that both Trump and the most influential spokesperson for MAGA on X, Tucker Carlson, began to target Trump. Trump's anxiety about his future, the panic and aggressiveness of the Epstein gang, and finally the haste of those holding the strings must have coincided, as they began to attack Iran, with whom negotiations were being conducted, while the negotiations were still ongoing.
The attack on Iran shook regional balances, UK-US relations, intra-EU conflicts, and Trump's MAGA narrative. Now, new options are emerging for Republicans in the US. People from Trump's team are preparing for new steps. The Democrats are in a state of collapse. Some of the US's renowned intellectuals have been discredited due to their ties to the Epstein gang; others have raised their voices against Pax Americana and US cross-border operations. US war hero Joe Kent is making a series of shocking statements about the recent history of the US, including the Iraq War. MAGA pages on X are increasing their anti-Israel rhetoric. They are targeting MOSSAD as the perpetrator of the Kennedy assassination. Facts aside, there is a serious shift in perceptions.
The US's effort to abandon its role as the world's policeman and, just as the United Kingdom did in its time, to withdraw to its island and increase its influence from afar, brings new pains with it. In the US, or rather in the Atlantic, the cards are being reshuffled. Meanwhile, those who create a safe harbor will rise. I hope Turkey succeeds in becoming a safe harbor.
