“In this, Türkiye and Singapore share a common instinct,” said Fidan, who was delivering a lecture organised by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) at Singapore’s Raffles Hotel on Tuesday (Jun 2).
He said that the world is going through a rare historical moment “where nearly every fault line of the international system (is) moving at once”.
“We're witnessing what feels like decades of geopolitical turbulence compress into a few years,” he said.
The current international order no longer resembles “a fixed constellation” and that this has “profound consequences” on modern diplomacy and statecraft.
The minister further noted that the “traditional boundaries” between diplomacy and war, economy and security, as well as domestic and foreign policy “have blurred significantly”.
“This reflects the emerging reality driven by (the) rise of hybrid conflicts, hyperconnectivity, and the weaponisation of mutual interdependence. So, how are prominent global actors responding to this relentless motion and all these challenges?
“Global institutions are increasingly paralyed, and many actors continue to approach a changing world with obsolete assumptions. They remain unwilling or unable to leave comfort zones in which they long operated on autopilot; perhaps they are waiting for stability to reappear in a form they recognise,” said Fidan.
The minister noted that such an outlook is “not prudence”, but instead is an “abdication of agency”. CNA
The above is part of a speech by the Turkiye Foreign Minister. The two key phrases, 'strategic resignation' and 'abdication of agency' are the malaise of this chaotic world being terrorised by the American and Israeli terrorists. And no one dares to call them out, some silly countries even regard them as the angels. On the other hand, the deranged lunatic Trump and his gangsters are condemning and demonising China, Iran, Russia and any country they wished to attack. Can you imagine that Satanic Trump and Netanyahu are calling other leaders as deranged and mad!
Major international institutions are either rendered useless, ineffective or irrelevant by the American terrorists or being hijacked or coerced to do the bidding of the Americans, involved in kidnapping of national leaders, conducting kangaroo courts to fix up enemies of the Americans and their cronies. The UN cannot pass any resolution or take any actions against the American and Israeli terrorists. Terrorist state Israel and the genocides they are committing has never been sanctioned by the UN!
The rest of the world watch on haplessly, unable to do anything about it, watching the American and Israeli terrorists conducting piracy, genocides, mass murders of the innocent, invading countries, seizing their assets, kidnapping their political leaders, killing school girls, fishing men, attacking ships and tankers. They can only resigned to the coercion, abuses and atrocities of the American and Israeli terrorists.
