As we have long warned, Erdogan wants to restore the Ottoman caliphate. He will now attempt to seize territory in Syria, and Syria is not the only nation in his sights.
Why is Turkey still in NATO?
“Erdoğan: ‘Turkey is bigger than Turkey, we can’t limit ourselves,'” by Yitz Goldberg, Israel National News, December 18, 2024:
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Wednesday that it is his country’s destiny to expand its borders, particularly into Syria.
Speaking at the Scientific and Technological Research Council (TÜBİTAK) and Turkish Academy of Sciences (TÜBA) Awards Ceremony at the Beştepe National Congress and Culture Center, the President stated: “Every incident that has occurred in our region, especially in Syria, recently reminds us of this fact; Turkey is bigger than Turkey. As a nation, we cannot limit our horizon to 782,000 square kilometers.”
According to him, “Just as a person cannot escape his destiny, Turkey and the Turkish nation cannot escape or hide from their destiny. As a nation, we have to see the mission that history has assigned to us and act accordingly. We see this, we do not turn a deaf ear to the calls.”
Erdoğan continued: “Those who ask, ‘What is Turkey doing in Libya and Syria?’ may not be able to comprehend this mission. Those who do not know how Turkey has changed may have difficulty understanding the course of events. We leave them alone with nonsense. No matter what we tell those who have abandoned their empathy with their nation, it is useless. We will not waste time with them, we will focus on our goals.”
Turning to the scientists at the event, he added: “I believe that you will also fulfill your responsibilities on this blessed journey.”
Erdoğan’s address comes as he continues building troops on the Syrian border near a majority Kurdish area….

And then they have the effrontery of accusing Israel of “expansionism!”
Bexarkat says
Turkey as a nation, and Erdogan specifically, are hyprocrites. While they falsely accuse Israel of genocide, ethnic cleaning, and occupation, they, at the same time falsely deny being genocidal, occupiers, and ethnically cleaning Kurds and Armenians. My question is, although I do know that the Biden administration will not call Turkey out, will the Trump administration? I hope so.
WPM says
Why is Turkey still a member in “good” standing in NATO when it is obvious that it wants to follow a kind of lebensraum style program into taking over neighboring countries for their land and resources because it is part of “gods plan ” in Erdogan’s mind ? If some countries fights back as a member of NATO (Turkey) would the other European NATO countries have to run to the defense of a fellow NATO country is under “attack” of this clearly supremist lead (Turkey) country? If he takes over these lands will he do the old Turkish ethic cleanse route ,the Moslem Turks where doing this before the Nazi party was invented kill every non-Moslem or the wrong kind of Moslem ,or anyone that is not Turkish making them disappear .
James Lincoln says
WPM,
When it was first set up, the NATO bylaws did not include an easy way for a member to get kicked out if they went rogue…

He wants an empire that falls under him on multiple criteria. On race/ethnicity & language, he already has 4 of the 5 Turkic stans as allies in the Organization of Turkic States. On religion, he’s in competition w/ Saudi Arabia and winning, since Saudi Arabia under MbS is no longer interested in leading the entire islamic world, at least on the criteria of religion. Turkey is filling it by backing the muslim brotherhood and all sorts of jihadist movements worldwide. They have the support of a lot of muslim countries – Pakistan, Malaysia, Qatar, Yemen, Somalia, Algeria, Azerbaijan….
If one is willing to consider a virtual empire, which is not necessarily directly ruled by Ankara but definitely heavily influenced by it, then Erdogan’s virtual empire stretches – albeit w/ plenty of breaks in b/w – from Malaysia to Turkey and from Algeria and Somalia to Kazakhstan. The likes of Suleiman would be impressed

Erdogan , murderer of many innocents ; who is going to stop him ? The Kurds try and tried before , and who abandoned them in their struggle ? The USA ! ( Trump ) . I think the Kurds will never trust The USA again , and with good reason . there is no friendship and/or loyalty ; only interests . I hope Israel and The Kurds together with The Druze will unify their interests and will stop any muslimfascist ambitions .

Weird echos of the late 1930s.
“Dictator” of a huge country needs “lebensraum”. He even said so.
Blinken will fly in and fly back waving a white piece of paper. “Peace in our time”.

The wounded head of the wild beast out of the sea is gaining power over the people (the sea from whence it came), but it will still fail to do what it wishes to do. it will be stopped in its evil tracks.
erdogan works with and for the devil, satan, original serpent who wants all of mankind to be destroyed.

Bible scholars will surely confirm this:what happens to all the Nations that make war on the Holy City Of Jerusalem?
Zechariah 14 v 12
Honestly ,it is too scary for me to read sometiimes,,,,
{All the Nations who wage war against Jerusalem} vs The God of Israel{Owner of Jerusalem}
We already know that utter collapse will come to the islamic nations;the prophetic outcome is already established …Joel 3

“Scary for you to read sometimes”? The day Trump left office, last time he was President, I feel on that day, that I was given the how and when, the 7 year Tribulation begins.
Are you one, that thinks that Trump is a Christian? Well, he’s not. (I can tell you why, if you want). But every president since Pres. Carter, has announce publicly, that they were. And they only said that, to get that’s groups vote. But I think that stopped with OBiden. I haven’t heard him lie about that.
Anyway, I’m mentioning all this, because I’ve seen two signs with Trump. Will get to that in a minute, but Trump made a peace document, and then went over to the Middle East, and got a few signatures, from some leaders, who said they wanted peace with Israel. And then Trump had to leave there, and come back to his office, to leave there.
Now if you don’t know anything about bible prophecy, but there are many bible scholar’s throughout the many years past, who interpreted the prophecies, and most Christians believe them, know them as FACT.
And one of them is, once a 7 year peace plan/treaty is signed between the Israel leader, and the Palestinian leader, the 7 year Tribulation will begin.
So now, I’ve always wondered why every pres. since President Carter, has took the time out of their very busy schedules, to get these two leaders together, and for them to make peace with other. It’s never happened. It’s always failed or fell through.
But this stopped with OBiden (he doesn’t deserve the “president” label), and so it skipped over OBiden, and guess who is going to be the the one, that WILL get these two leaders together in peace.
The vision I feel I was given, also showed me, that God is going to use Trump to bring in the 7 year Tribulation. (Bear with me, he only one small task to do, and he’s done). Now I can’t stop seeing Trump’s name, being short for “Trumpet”, which a good number of them, are blown in the last book of the bible, Revelation.
I saw him, on his last day of office, and was shown that he would be President, again. But the world was given a time out, so to speak, to see if the world would change for the better. But nope, it got worse, for the 4 years OBiden was in office, and with all the other evil leaders.
Now, God is sending in the sinner. The only one who has in his possession, a partly finished, and a physical peace document already drawn up, and for Trump NOT being a Christian, could have named this peace document, with ANY name at all. But, he ended up naming it, from an important name in our bible…you know who it is?
So, sometime in that four years, that OBiden was in office, Trump threw a grenade in the middle, by announcing everywhere, that he was going to run for President. And ask me how I felt, after knowing for a few years, that he WOULD be president again? I was estatic, to say the least!
But I sure didn’t expect the anger and hatred, that came next. All the haters, EVEN tried to get him off the ticket, so he couldn’t run, and then there was the attempt on his life….but AGAINST ALL ODDS, the vision was correct. I couldn’t believe it! He’s back!
Here’s now the endgame….between the next day, and sometime before his 4 years are finished, he’s going to pick up that old document of his, with the few signatures already on it, and head to the Middle East again. He gets many more signatures, of rich and powerful leaders of the Middle East, that want peace with Israel, and then when he feels that he has enough signatures, he passes the document to all of those rich and powerful men, and he goes back to work. That’s it, that’s all God needed him for.
Now all these men, start looking at this document, and realize there’s a leader’s name missing on it.
Now, I have to mention this president again (and all the rest of them), since Pres. Carter and every president after him, this certain leader has totally refused to make peace with Israel. The answer has been NO, for all the presidents!
And now, here comes many rich and powerful leaders, who tell this leader, that THEY have signed up for peace with Israel, and that their tired of him, and the Israel leader alwasy fighting, and they want it to stop, and demand for him to sign. Have you guessed who the NO man is yet? The Palestinian leader. And since he’s spent decades saying No to peace with Israel, he thinks that he can say NO, now. But this is what all of these men were prepared, and so, they twist his arm around to his back….noooo, they don’t hurt him physically, but they WILL hurt him either financially or economically, or BOTH….until, he can’t take it anymore, and finally says YES, that he will sign too, for peace with Israel. So as the world watches, because this is a HUGE event, and all the news stations are crowded around, and filming, this peace plan/treaty, with neither one knowing what their signatures will bring, both sign, the 7 year peace plan/treaty, which begins the 7 year Tribulation! And that’s my vision, and I’m stickin to it.
RJB says
In what Biblical passage do you find the 7 years of Tribulation? I would guess the Christians who did not flee Turkey with Robert Spencer’s Grand Parents would say they already went through as much Tribulation as they could hope to bear, as would those killed in The Armenian genocide or Serbian Christians killed by Clinton’s desire to have a majority muslim State in Europe.
aum says
Caliphate in the making.
skeptiker says
Bei Erdogan bekommt das Wort “Tyrannenmord” eine Bedeutung.
RJB says
I don’t know who to ask this, possibly Robert Spencer could tell us at what point Erdogan’s Caliphate ambitions run full stop into Ahmed al-Sharaa, Syria’s de facto leader’s Syrian religious nationalism?
