US and NATO Disappointed by Turkey's Move: What is going on?

- Turkey is making significant progress in its nuclear energy ambitions with Russia's state-owned Rosatom taking a leading role. The Turkish government, through its energy minister Alparslan Bayraktar, has confirmed ongoing negotiations with Rosatom for the construction of a second nuclear power plant in Sinop, on the Black Sea coast. This follows the successful collaboration on the Akkuyu nuclear power plant, which is expected to have all four reactors operational by 2028, providing about 10% of Turkey's electricity needs.
In addition to discussions with Russia, Turkey is also in advanced talks with China for a third nuclear power plant in the Thrace region. These negotiations are crucial as Turkey aims to diversify its energy mix and reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, with a target of reaching 20 GW of nuclear capacity by 2050. The country is also exploring the potential of small modular reactors (SMRs) to add 5 GW of capacity by 2050.
NATO has expressed concerns regarding Turkey's collaboration with Russia on nuclear power projects, specifically the Akkuyu nuclear power plant. This partnership is seen as potentially amplifying Moscow's influence within a NATO member state, raising security and strategic stability concerns for the alliance. The construction and future operation of the Akkuyu plant by Rosatom, Russia's state nuclear energy corporation, could give Russia significant leverage over Turkey's energy sector and, by extension, its political decisions.
Experts highlight that the integration of Russian nuclear technology and infrastructure in Turkey might pose risks, such as increased dependency on Russian technology and potential security threats related to nuclear proliferation. There are also apprehensions about the dual-use potential of nuclear technology, which could theoretically be diverted for military purposes, despite Turkey's current focus on civilian energy use.
Additionally, NATO is wary of the broader geopolitical implications. Russia's involvement in Turkey's energy infrastructure could undermine NATO's strategic cohesion and complicate collective defense dynamics. This situation is further compounded by Turkey's pursuit of additional nuclear projects with other countries like China and potential future engagements with the United States.
US Pressure on IRAN to Avoid BRICS: Watch the video here: czcams.com/video/LlSmzKtejQ0/video.html
L’Iran 🇮🇷 est déjà dans les BRICS + depuis le début de l’année 😂😂
The new President has no authority to cancel or alter Iran's agreements in Brics. Any violations will be cancelled by Iranian Majlis Islami whose decision is required in all such agreements. Pezeshkian is not suicidal.
The funny thing is that nato is a military agreement, not an economic agreement. Brics is not a military agreement but an economic agreement.
There are no restrictions for a nato member to join an economic form, so what's the problem.
Because they want Turkey to be their dogs of just military and georaphical politicly close, but Turkey won't have it.
This is very true. But people make up stupid alliances based on allegiance. One has Russia the other has the US. But the thing is it is normal for Türkiye to have a military alliance with the US regarding the middle east. And economic ties with Russia regarding it's proximity with it.
Türkiye is only Muslim country who is member of NATO and it is very very important for Western Allies like USA and Britain. I do not understand that Türkiye is still with Britain what Britain did to Ottoman Empire and Türkiye how much territory they took away last Sultan Hamid the second, said Palestine will never be Zionist state that’s why British and whole Christian world attacked Otoman Empire so Turks were defeated once but not anymore ever long live Türkiye 🇹🇷 and it’s people my brothers and sisters
Exactly, Gardaş.
Because America is a control freak and like to stick there nose where a dog wouldn’t stick his mojo 😂
NATO , got no standard or honourable status to demands other countries!!!
Nato is aggressive alliance. EU is doomed also, we have no energy, no production, no money....
Strange that people can go on these channels that only have one intention - to manipulate people without the ability to critically examine what they are told. Don't you realize that this is a conspiracy channel for dysfunctional people. NATO is a defense pact and totally without interest in what countries or others do in other areas
Turkey Govt. is a sovereign country and it has every right to take any decision independently. Turkey should not bow to the pressure tactics of USA and other NATO nations
Then why is it a member of NATO??
@@alacranyt For defence and security, what NATO was supposed to be about.
Oddly, Turkiye doesn't want to just do whatever the Americans want.
@@sueyourself5413 Turkey doesn't want to do what NATO wants but stil be a member?
@@alacranyt Yes, just like Hungary, anothet NATO ally.
@@Cristianondenwks you're right.
Maintenant NATO commence à peine à découvrir que les rebuffades envers la Turquie dans le passé vont permettre à la Turquie de prendre sa revanche envers ses ennemis proches.
Has anybody wondered why turkey is going away from Europe because it's the only country that gets sentenced By NATO and the US even it's a NATO member trying to be a European member for the last 40 plus years and it's not going to happen why should turkey be wasting his time with Europeans😂
Türkiye is not in the EU because there is Northern Cyprus Tension between Greece and Türkiye. See; Cyprus Peace Operation. Additionally, although Türkiye is right about Cyprus, the EU and the World do not recognize Northern Cyprus. Bulgaria, Romania and similar underdeveloped countries are in the EU, but a fully developed country like Turkey is not in the EU. This shows that something is wrong in the EU.
@@atlasworld6420that’s an „argument“ ?
Turkey was always a better candidate than Bulgaria or Romania.
It’s just because they are Turks and they don’t want the Turks to be successful. They are still more developed than Bulgaria or Romania.
@@atlasworld6420 Your info is lacking.
Northern Cyprus issue predates the Cyprus's EU membership. On the contrary, BECAUSE of the Cyprus + Greek territorial disputes, Greece has been actively supporting Turkiye's application to EU. Hell, Greece is one of *the* biggest supporters of Turkish membership since it would solve literally every single problem between the two countries.
Rising authoritarianism is shown as a concern by those countries that veto Turkish membership, like France. However this is simply an excuse because EU did *not* accept Turkiye throughout the years where they had almost great political ties, economical investments and trust in its democratic actions. Hell, They used to support Erdogan in early 2010 (arguably the most democratic years right before falling into authoritarianism).
The real issue has been made clear to be culture and religious differences. Several spokesperson have been very thorough in explaining why Turkiye will *never* be an EU member, goes all the way back to 90's. Even if Turkiye was Earth's most democratic and just country in a paralel universe, EU would still not accept the application due to large population, difference of culture and religions. They didnt want to outright reject the application because it has been profitable to keep Turkiye at the border, just not in.
Turkeye did the best for thier own intrest... nobody cannot dictate others.

EU incompetence in negotiations with Turkey have led to this.
No, they just did not want Turkey in. Christian club.

The West keeps pontificating that free independent countries are free to make their own decisions. This view was voiced regarding Ukraine's right to join the EU and NATO. Cannot argue with that point. Turkey, as a free independent country is free to make its own decisions too, isn't it?
I can. Ukraine must not join NATO. The US wouldn't allow any Russian or Chinese military bases anywhere in the Americas, why the hell do you think that Russia should accept them directly next to its border?
The west pontificates that because there are no remaining free independent countries except those that the west is already hostile to.
Cuba was not allowed to make its own decisions
@@sueyourself5413 You make an excellent point which eludes the West. The US has the Monroe Doctrine but no other country is allowed to have an equivalent doctrine. Why? Duplicity, hypocrisy and double standards.

don't gie a damn of what Nato think!
We don’t have bad will towards Muslims in the United States unlike the Chinese, in fact our Muslims are protected just like our majority white Christian counterparts.
Hear! Hear!!
The Turks have given its western partners ample opportunities to form progressive partnerships, but were let down continually. We saw this when they requested the Patriot missiles but were rejected hence why they procured the S400’s from Russia. They also tendered for their nuclear power plant but the West showed no genuine interest so they moved on for the benefit of their society.
I believe every country has the right to follow their interests
Disappointed? More than disappointed. Turkey has the 3rd largest army in NATO. Without Turkey NATO are pretty much finished.
2nd largest army, not 3rd
Nato has strayed too far from its initial purpose. It is hostile and aggressive when it is meant to be defensive.
Türkiye has the second largest army in NATO on paper but the strongest physically
2nd Largest......not 3rd
Untrue.
One cannot anymore make deals with EU and USA because of the fears with sanctions at a later stage.
Both cannot b trusted.👹👹👹
Well done turkeye
Turkiye is in NATO to protect itself from NATO for the time being
They have the second-largest military in NATO.
You can leave NATO and in 5 years you will be speaking Russians
Finaly all countries became independent. It is bad is someone tells you what to eat and what to do. Independent is the best for everybody. You decide what to do for your benefit, but not others.
That’s Not the case of PALESTINIAN. They have been living in concentration camps in their own house country for more than 75 years they can’t eat or drink water without ISRAEL permission the IDF kill them with the SNIPER every single day. The WAR is with the children of Palestinian .76 years of NAKBA..very awful ,is very sad and terrible to be ISRAEL NEIGHBORS. I crying for all inocente children in Palestine..GOD protect them all. They has to deal with the HATE of the Jews Zionist people every single day.for 75 years.
NATO don’t care about turkey why would the care about them
And, they will demand Turks fight EU's wars. No thanks.
It seems like you havent seen the world map. If you would, you would understand that a country with global interest should side with Turkey.
@@emregol3793 only interested EU cares is there own the don’t care about rest of the world you can go I see world map from any angle you want world is changing ppl are tired of there Bs

Now turke become freedom country
@@user-in2zm5lk3l A NATO member can not be independent.
Interesting information. Showing clearly that NATO and the west now understand that they are "not in charge". They must adapt or face economic isolation long term.
Neither NATO nor the EU can tell Türkiye what is best for her. Türkiye applied to become a member of the EU in 1987 but is not yet a member, while other countries who applied decades later are full members of the EU. That's how much the EU has mistreated Türkiye. EU, face the problems you find yourself in alone. Viva Erdogan and his government!
For turks turkey comes first.
Nato does not act with honour
only games with them, like children
USD 100 billion is the target for trade between Russia and Turkiye.
This either us or them mentality is so last century 🙄 why can't we all work together to make life easier for all of us? I wish the West would grow up
Did you say last century? US and Europe have their feet in the 21st century, while their heads and thought processes are pure 18th century material!
They accept Turkey as a NATO member but they refused Turkey membership to EU.
yer because we have medieval and religious bias not common sense all these little meetings by secret societies based all on religious crap blinds our common sense

It seems that NATO doesn't have the grasp of the sovereign country concept.
Well NATO is a collection of many non-sovereign countries who are just serving for the benefit and interest of their big boss. Who is this big boss, I guess everyone knows it already :)
It's simple. Turkey tries to keep kinda friendly towards everyone at minimum cost. But as Aristotle said, "A friend to all is a friend to none".
Rum detected,
You are pretty right but its kinda unnecessary what you said here, turkey just wants to set its thighs to the multiploar world which is led by many superpowers including them, wanting for its nation to be developed like every nation wants ofc. THEY HAVE TO DO THIS IF THEY WANT PROGRESS, its simple as this Turkey always tried to be allies with the US but US kept supporting the diversified groups in TURKEY literally USA TRIES TO KILL ITS OWN ALLY! thats why I personally support Turkish Partnership with EAST cya!
In turkeys case it’s not about being friendly towards everyone.
It’s just having business with who they want to and having laws how they want to.
Eu was never interested in fair business with turkey or accepting them inside the eu. All the eu candidate talk was just a bluff from the Eu side to make sure turkey is not working with the east.
The eu and the west had too high expectations especially towards turkey. As the 2nd largest military in the nato, this is very disrespectful towards turkey and they don’t take that disrespect anymore.
This is the real „simple“ reason.
Who has the uranium ? Russia of course. It’s Certainly not the EU .
At the time, the USA and EU did not submit a bid for the construction of the Akuyu power station.
it is funny and surprising that they are now worried and concerned. Who sows the wind reaps the whirlwind
Why is sovereign government operations a NATO concern
Of course it is
Now Turkish people freedom,,,,,🇹🇷❤🇹🇷
RESPECT TO TURKEY !!!! Very very smart decision !!!! don't be a P...UPPET of America and NATO ...!!!!
Why don;t the US & NATO just say that Turkey must not allow Russia to have ANY leverage over them ( US & NATO) in all decisions. ONLY THEY AND NOBODY ELSE WILL TELL YOU WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU!! THAT IS THEIR MESSAGE!!!!
Turkey is indeed a sovereign country, and it's important to acknowledge its autonomy. It's interesting to think about when the USA will realize that the world of the 21st century has moved beyond the framework of the 20th century, where its dominance is not as pronounced. It would be great if the USA could recognize the changing dynamics of global relations and adapt accordingly. Let's hope they can navigate this transition smoothly without causing disruption for themselves and the rest of the world.
why all the small European countries have nuclear plants for many years why deny a big country like Turkey
Arabs without Turkey would have half the countries they have now they dont know it though
Its the Russian dependence they dont like , but Turkey will choose this against Defence needs from USA because Turkey for many years is building their defence production and sooner or later will be more indipendent from Nato Systems.
First try to Türkiye, not Turkey .. second we don't owe nothing to noone. We aren't Americans lapdog or EU's cheap labour force. Türkiye is a sovereign country and only we decide who is our partner or not. If you don't like this, you should hear this too "Welcome to new world baby!"
Thanks for the information. Cheers from Scandinavia 🇩🇰🇸🇪🇳🇴

Both NATO and the EU crapped on Turkey , what do they expect?

How can you you be protected by Nato if your the 2nd biggest and strongest army in Nato, I believe it's the other way around where Nato needs to be protected by the 1st and 2nd biggest and strongest armies
Why is the USA and NATO dissapointed?

Keya leboha Turkey 🇹🇷,,,
Quite educative info..keep up the pace..bravo
Correction: US and NATO are angry & disappointed to find Turkey is not going to obey them anymore.
They have wanted nuclear energy for more than 10 years, why is nato surprised when they now choose the east? Just like with the air defense system, they were not prepared to sell a western product to Turkey until they ordered it from Russia . The only suprise for me is that it took so long to decide , i mean if you are not giving something to your allies they will take it from the enemy this is tragic but it makes sense.
Usa scared again?😂😂😂
In fact Turkey is disappointed by Nato and US
Thank you so very much for honest updates
dont cry now
Only by this you acknowledge that NATO is no more a deffensive alliance, but more like a offensive and an economically pressure element! What have NATO to deal with an economical deal between two sovereign states????
If us disss a point than next time thay shouldn't diss or miss it. Because we are not full as Turks. Its enough.
The one US argument is sanctions, not offering valuable trade goods.
we are the regional power ,,,soon or later everyone respect and kiss the ring ,,they like it or not
The western alliance is expecting alignment from Turkey without paying attention to Turkey’s security and trade concerns. If Turkey’s concerns are not heard within the alliance, what’s Turkey supposed to do? I witnessed Western alliance’s posture towards Turkey on key security issues past 50 years. Not very friendly at all and there is clearly a lack of respect. That casts a doubt in Turks’ mind that Turkey can count on NATO to defend her. Turkey should remain part of the western alliance and defend universal values, but not with solely being reliant on the west and not with acting like a puppet state. Relatively self sufficient and with diversified security and trade partners, Turkey should play an influential role. This what Turkish people expects their government do.
Love from Türkiye.👍🏻👏👏

@@hnm9san708 because Turkey is a mostly Muslim country

Not Turkey. Türkiye
WAS not Turkey put under sanctions by the big Torquemada , which decreased the value of his money and caused it big difficulties ? Therefore, it has decided to protect its interests ! THAT is the rule of the game ? Is it NOT ?
What is worse than anything else for America, Europe and the European Union is; In the past, Turkish governments and Turkish people were 75%-80% pro-European Union, NATO, and the West. America was a friend, Europe was the ideal level of civilization.
Now only a small political minority still holds this view. The majority see and define Europe, America and NATO as a treacherous, backstabber, insidious, brutal, "pro-terrorist and terrorist lover" and occupying enemy.
Even if relations between governments are improved and some things are put in order by them, they can never improve the public's view and perception of the terrorist West.
We are pist off with EU. It’s been 50 years , still not a EU member.
NATO peace keepers glad they are not my friends
It seems to me America can have whatever they want but every one else has to get there approval typical of America.
BRICS is already considering QUALIFICATIONS of countries for membership. I am sure association of TURKEY as a NATO Member will surely receive scrutiny. If Turkey wants to be taken seriously, this is the time for Turkey to decide what is important to Turkey. Huge IMF borrowing will surely have a negative effect as Turkey's payment schedule is very high and has grown in 2024.
