If Turkey wanted to become a member of NATO now instead of in 1952, it would not meet the criteria on democracy, rule of law, and human rights. trib.al/0mND1N0

🚀 NATO SUMMIT IN ANKARA: TRUMP AND PUTIN CLASH IN 85-MINUTE CALL! 🇹🇷🇺🇸⚔️
All global attention has shifted to the 36th NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey. In a highly volatile diplomatic prelude, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin engaged in a tense 85-minute phone call debating a potential settlement in Ukraine, with relations between the two leaders hitting an all-time low.
Putin’s structural trap ahead of the summit:
🎰 Gambling on Western Division: Putin’s primary objective remains exploiting fractures between Europe and the US. However, this has backfired—US pressure has inadvertently forced Europe to achieve total defense autonomy.
📉 Domestic Meltdown: Security analysts note that Putin currently faces severe economic problems, a nationwide fuel crisis, massive holes in his air defense network, and a logistically besieged Crimean peninsula.
💨 Devalued Bluster: Intelligence experts expect the usual hybrid provocations and cyberattacks. But after four years of empty threats, Putin’s verbal currency has lost its threat value—Moscow is simply running out of operational bandwidth.
My take:The geometric reality of this summit has fundamentally changed. This meeting takes place immediately after the White House declared Russia’s offensive capabilities are “approaching zero,” and right as Ukrainian deep strikes have neutralized a quarter of Russia’s refining capacity. Putin is attempting to leverage rumors of a new mobilization to project strength, but he is fundamentally negotiating from a position of absolute material exhaustion. He wanted to break NATO, but instead, he has awakened a self-sufficient, heavily armed European fortress. Moscow no longer dictates the terms! ⏳🦅🇺🇦

Earlier today Qatari oil tanker intended to pass through the Omani route in the strait of Hormuz with US navy support but was struck by IRGC after ignoring repeated warnings.
US is likely to retaliate with strikes on Iranian targets.
