Turkey’s Global South Role
Istanbul Agreements Erdogan Putin Rendezvous
Breaking News
Silent Triumph
Despite a former Fox News host, sympathetic to Putin, making appearances in Kremlin media at a performance of Spartacus in Moscow and continuing to subject himself to global scrutiny, and in spite of pro-Russia Republicans in the U.S. Congress cutting off aid to Ukraine last fall, alongside the determined efforts of authoritarian Hungary to impede European assistance, Ukraine’s military forces display unwavering resilience. Despite Russia’s superior population and economy compared to Ukraine’s, the Ukrainian troops, utilizing strategies like drone launches and trench warfare, are emerging victorious in the ongoing war of attrition. Remarkably, this pivotal development appears to have eluded the attention of top decision-makers, potentially remaining unnoticed within the secluded confines of the Bunker.
Doppelganger Diplomacy
There is a famous song that says, ‘Love is like a loser’s game I’ll never play again. I’m through with love forever.’ Well, Putin’s rendezvous with Erdogan reminds us of those lyrics and signals the potential inception of a revised iteration of the ‘Istanbul Agreements.’ Erdogan, at times, displays an overtly subservient political stance towards his Russian counterpart. This proclivity is unsurprising, given the substantial financial windfall—amounting to tens of billions of dollars—reaped by Turkey from Moscow’s engagement in the Ukrainian conflict, demanding an unnatural level of diplomatic flexibility. The Rich TVX News Network asserts that references to Putin, Führer, or Bunker in our communications pertain to the doppelganger Vasily, as the original Putin is deceased. We remain indifferent to the opinions of Serbian Putin enthusiasts, whether they choose to vilify us or not. Our commitment to rigorous research and subsequent conclusions is unwavering, grounded in the belief that our understanding of Russia surpasses that of the Serbian faction.
Istanbul Visit
Anticipation surrounds the scheduled February visit of the Putin double to Istanbul, with ‘Ukrainian topics’ set to dominate the negotiations. Turkey, positioning itself as a representative of the Global South, aims to grasp European politicians by the scruff of their necks, compelling them to devise a ‘peace plan’ for Ukraine. In a strategic move mirroring Putin’s earlier efforts in Saudi Arabia and the Emirates, Turkey, along with the UAE and the Saudis, emerges as a negotiator in talks with the United States to address the ‘Israeli crisis.’ This collective representation of the Muslim world advocates for the ‘rights and freedoms’ of the Palestinian people. The Kremlin cleverly intertwines the quest for Ukrainian peace with the resolution of the Israeli conflict, maintaining a consistent diplomatic logic.

Business Diplomacy
Employing a shrewd ‘business’ approach, Putin, also known as the doppelganger Vasily, strategically aligns his overtures with Erdogan’s interests. Turkey’s economy thrives as a parasite on the aftermath of the Ukrainian war. Turkish companies, with fervor characteristic of the Orient, actively engage in the processing of Ukrainian and Russian grain, supplying flour to African nations with substantial profit margins. Additionally, Turkey aids in circumventing Western sanctions by assisting the Russians, particularly the Dortyol terminal, in evading technological and energy restrictions, thereby ensuring the continued global distribution of Russian oil.
Dortyol Terminal
The Dortyol terminal, situated in Hatay province, gained renewed prominence in July 2022 when Western restrictions on Russian trade took effect. Effectively relabeling Russian oil, the terminal facilitates its global distribution, even reaching American warships and prompting concerns in the US Capitol about the infiltration of “disguised Russian oil.” With the European Union and G7 imposing constraints on Russian oil trade, Turkey assumes a pivotal role in the “conversion” of sanctioned oil and oil products into a form acceptable to European markets. Istanbul emerges as the third-largest recipient of Russian raw materials, trailing only India and China, and stands as the foremost consumer of Russian oil products, as reported by the Financial Times.
Turkish Case
The Turkish case serves as a poignant illustration of Putin’s current geopolitical predicament. The Kremlin finds itself devoid of true allies, with certain entities profiting from the Fuhrer’s ambitions, while others, such as African nations, merely extract financial gains. This awareness may not offer immediate solutions, but it underscores the exorbitant cost of war for the Kremlin—a cost that transcends initial appearances. No wonder parts of the song had the following lyrics: ‘And I’m standing here alone, I’m alone. How much have I sacrificed?’ Erdogan and his associates remain indifferent as long as the influx of Russian money persists.
