The world is much larger than what we see through the lens of the U.S. and Europe. Humanity is much vaster, more powerful, and boundless than the perceptions and limits encoded in our minds by the West. The world’s future is much brighter and more productive in proportion to its distance from the Atlantic. Whether you look at it through the perspective of the region, human resources, the historical battle of powers, or the present and future, you will see a world with a rich past, sans the U.S. and Europe, rising again. Humanity has been a slave to…
Seeing through non-European lenses, Europe and the U.S. stand haughtily all but alone, probably capable of winning one battle, but on their way to certain defeat in the war of history. ore than 100 years after World War I, Europe’s leaders are sleepwalking toward a new all-out war. In 1914, the European governments believed that the war would last three weeks; it lasted four years and resulted in more than 20 million deaths. The same nonchalance is visible with the war in Ukraine. The dominant view is that the aggressor should be left broken and humbled. Then, the defeated power…
hether we like it or not, a world order is taking shape outside the U.S. and Europe. This quest for this new order is quite determined to end the West’s centuries-long uninterrupted superiority. Whether you choose to believe it or not, Turkey is positioned right at the center of this new world. The intersection points of the disintegration between the East and West are always areas of conflict. But Turkey built exactly the opposite, and formed an incredible power domain between the East and West. Erdoğan’s ‘peace intervention’: Turkey is preventing world war! The geopolitical power formation Turkey has been…

The notion that empires are making a comeback is more than just feeble hope, an expectation, a pipe dream. The world was experiencing a deep power shift for the “first time” after centuries, after the start of the “colonial history,” which Europe had titled as “geographical discoveries.” Western history was regressing, and with Western globalization at an end, new emerging powers were burgeoning, and former empires were returning with great claims. What was the origin of the claim that Turkey will be the shock of the 21st century? For the first time after centuries, the “world’s axis” was changing. This…
The last three presidents of the United States of America—Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama—are tripping over each other to whitewash themselves of any blame over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. They are highlighting Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war crimes in an effort to erase the world’s memory of their own blood-stained past. As Western institutes and media fully focus on Russia, they are trying to wipe out the events we experienced only a few years ago. They are whitewashing the invasion and plundering which devastated our region, our countries and cities, as if they were ancient history. …

kraine has become the battleground for the war between the East and the West. Clashes between Russia and Europe, the showdown between the U.S. and Russia, are all taking place in Europe. This is the biggest breaking point, the deepest change of the last 70 years since World War II. “War negotiations” are unfolding on Europe’s eastern border, within the West. This is the strongest indication that the Western order is falling apart, that the West is being restricted within its own borders, doomed to its own internal struggles. War negotiations in Europe. Peace negotiations in Turkey Meanwhile, negotiations…
Prof. John Mearsheimer and ex-C.I.A. Russia specialist Ray McGovern discuss the Ukraine conflict and U.S. policy towards Moscow, presented by the Committee for the Republic in Washington.
– History has been completely turned on its head. All states are re-settling into the positions they held a century ago, trying to reach the borders they possessed a hundred years ago. The generation of empires is returning. Countries with a powerful heritage, with great claims, are emerging. The world’s power map is appallingly changing. Solely through this trend, through this wave can we re-identify the future of the 21st century. 2- The order that was established after World War II collapsed. The world’s central powers are reshaping. The West is facing great threats outside its own region for the…
