Will Turkey stay loyal to NATO and help defend Europe against Russia? Or is Turkey the proverbial Trojan Horse, first collecting its payments from its economic integration with Europe, while pretending to support NATO, but later only to fund its energy infrastructure, its military industry, and ultimately, its betrayal by siding with Russia?
Let’s explore the possibility that Turkey is taking the Mickey out of Europe.
If the Turkish leadership wanted to rebuild the Islamic Ottoman Empire, that’s what they should do: play the fool, take Europe’s money, invest in a military buildup, and then betray the Europeans by siding with Russia.
There are many indications that Europeans are simply too naive about their Islamic military partner, for in the past decades, the EU has consistently rewarded Turkish aggression with more money.
When Turkish president Erdoğan threatened to unleash millions of Syrian refugees into Europe, Chancellor Merkel of Germany promptly wired billions of Euros to keep the Turkish borders closed. Indeed, what Germany doesn’t want to be seen doing—close the borders—it often pays its partners to do further upstream the migration routes.
Now, for over a decade-and-a-half, there’s been a proposal to build a pipeline for natural gas deliveries from Qatar to Turkey, but through Syria. Syrian president Assad rejected it, and the Syrian civil war conveniently delayed the project.
Assad is now gone. Combined with Europe’s unintelligible sanctions of the Russian economy, and keeping in mind the allied sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline that once connected German industry to Russian gas, Turkey may prove to be Europe’s savior in need.
Today, Turkey already provides Eastern Europe with gas from Russia through its Turk Stream pipeline, preventing nations such as Hungary from freezing in winter. With the new pipeline, Turkey could easily disrupt European energy needs. Based on Turkey’s past behavior, it could blackmail the West into accepting Turkey’s bid for EU membership.
By giving Turkey this much bargaining power over European winter heating, another risk arises. Namely, once the Turkish Trojan Horse has accumulated enough wealth, at the right time, it may deliberately cut off energy supplies to Europe, and laughingly side with Russia in a joint invasion of Europe.
Europeans, freezing, will not be able to defend themselves. This has massive civilizational implications. When, for example, was it decided that Europe should swap out its energy dependence on a White and Christian civilization, namely Orthodox Russia, for a dependency on fundamentalist and Islamic alternatives?
For whatever reason, the EU leadership has decided Europe must be Islamized, for I hope it is clear that Turkey’s rising status as energy transit hub for European economies comes with a price tag called Islam. What Turkey could not do at the Battle of Vienna, it may finally achieve with natural gas: submit Christian Europe to its will.
This whole ordeal, of course, exposes the bankruptcy of modern geopolitical thinking. Everything has been reduced to economic opportunism. Morality and belief no longer matter. Only material wealth matters. When, in the past, European men, impoverished to the bone, fought to the bitter end to defend their women’s honor, today, godless European leaders welcome the rape of their continent. For the money.
This is what American president Ronald Reagan once meant with his speech titled, A Time for Choosing. He ended that speech with the following words:
“You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We'll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we'll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.”
A thousand years of darkness. The Trojan Horse is made of wood. Perhaps it can offer us a light.
