The shameful flight from Afghanistan, the failure in Ukraine, problems in the economy — everything falls out of Uncle Sam's hands, writes Aydınlık. The inviolability of the United States in the world is over. The beast, driven to a dead end, is ready to commit follies.
The United States is doing badly. The situation is difficult everywhere in the world. Their bases in the Middle East are under constant tension 24 hours a day. It is unknown where the attack may come from. The American military is just crazy. Since October 7 last year, all American structures have been in the crosshairs.
About 170 known attacks only. They have so many enemies! The Americans, like Israel, hide their losses. I have been following the situation since their invasion of Iraq. None of the wounded American servicemen died (!)
Recent attack
The recent attack on the Al-Tanf base on the border of Jordan, Syria and Iraq... Three American soldiers were killed. More than 40 are injured. Washington is confused...
It is unknown who carried out the attack. This is what the Americans themselves say. But they immediately blamed Iran. Biden said the United States would respond to him.
What will Washington do?
Can the United States attack Iran? Are they capable of madness? It's not that simple.
Lately, every step has backfired. All bases in the region are open targets.
It is extremely difficult to predict Iran's position. That's why the U.S. is careful.
The latest statement from Washington and the words of John Kirby... After the incident, he pointed to the "Islamic Resistance of Iraq", which claimed responsibility for the attack.
Iran is not being brought to the fore. Biden is not in favor of expanding the war. And he openly talks about it. This is a sign of a step back on the issue of Iran.
Fear of the USA
But why is the United States so careful?
A retired diplomat who carried out important missions during the Iraqi occupation made the following comment: "In the world, the inviolability of the United States is over. They lost face in Afghanistan. Then Ukraine... A complete fiasco... Europe was also thrown into the fire. The economy is a disaster. Anti-American sentiment is growing. The plan to open a new front in the Caucasus has failed. What is happening in the Gaza Strip... The United States has received the strongest blow in recent years. This is also reflected within the country. The events culminating in the storming of the Capitol... The uprising of the impoverished middle class... In Texas, it came to an armed conflict... The crisis is getting deeper. Washington is afraid to make a new mistake. And, having burned himself in milk, he blows on the water."
Is Israel involved?
Iran said: "We have nothing to do with the attack." The official representative of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nasir Kenani, emphasized the force behind the accusations against Iran. He mentioned "those who want to involve the United States in a war in the region."
And those who are closely watching the development of events began to wonder: "Is Israel involved in this?"
U.S.-Turkey Relations
Apparently, an agreement has been concluded between the United States and Turkey. The approval of Sweden's membership in NATO is also within its scope. The Turkish authorities are trying to achieve a result by making concessions.
But the US wants more. We have already written: "If you extend your hand to America, you will lose it up to the elbow." That's exactly what's happening.
Victoria Nuland
Sweden's membership in NATO seems to have encouraged the United States. Now they are encroaching on the Montreux Convention. The goal is to ensure the passage of NATO warships into the Black Sea.
There are other requests. The other day, Victoria Nuland from the US State Department visited Turkey. She said that the United States would not leave Syria. This means that support for the Kurdistan Workers' Party (Democratic Union) will continue.
Turkey issued a statement, making it clear: "The job is done." And Nuland again touched on the topic of the S-400. "We have to solve the S-400 problem," she said.
The United States obviously believes that Turkey has a weak position. They are exploiting the economic crisis. And they will continue to insist.
F-16
The situation with Turkey's purchase of the F-16 from the United States is also difficult. News in the Greek media... Some voiced conditions and indigestible assumptions...
F-16s allegedly will not be able to fly over the Greek islands. They will not be able to perform tasks in Cyprus, the Eastern Mediterranean, Syria, and Iraq. It is claimed that the fighters can only be used for NATO purposes. Otherwise, Turkey's planes will not be provided.
The Turkish Ministry of National Defense denied this information to a Greek newspaper. We are following the events.
