SOS… Europe, I am listening. Hold the line! Ankara responds

(B2 mood) Iranian nuclear is turning the Western world's heads, Israelis are sintering with Palestinians, Somalia is sinking into chaos, Bosnia is ungovernable... you have a water leak... Don't hesitate more. Only one number is useful today, to keep near the telephone. That of the Turkish government, in Ankara. In 1970, Kissinger asked "Europe, what telephone number". 40 years later, Europe believed it had answered the question with the Lisbon Treaty. But this one displays - in terms of foreign policy - a readability close to that of a mountain tunnel in foggy winter weather. The time that the Europeans clean up and try to see clearly, Turkey has therefore taken the place, left free. And displays its ambitions worthy of the former Ottoman Empire (even if it no longer has the means) or Byzantine (1), to the point that it has replaced the European Union on the international scene, on a number of subjects where we would wait... the European Union
