Turkey is in a very depressing place. It’s riding high geopolitically, it’s won in Syria, and the conflicts in Ukraine and Iran make President Erdoğan
indispensable to his NATO allies in the US and Europe. But in the process it has lost its democracy and its economy is in shambles. These processes are deeply interrelated. Today’s podcast dives into those connections, which most avoid.
We’ve also got a new substack up, on the topic of my optimism about Turkey and whether or not it’s sustainable.

Ukraine might be doing better than it was last year. But last year was pretty catastrophic. It’s time to push peace, not more war. Today’s conversation with Ruairi also inspired a substack post on the Chechen wars of the 1990s, which you can find here…
