Turkey is becoming an increasingly critical broker of peace between #Russia & #Ukraine but, why then, is the collective west increasingly hostile to it?

Frigmentation is a condition unique to the twenty-first century, it is a portmenteau word, combining Friction and Fragmentation to yield - FRIGMENTATION. From Buiteboer’s book - Searching for Madness in the Method: this is not a Survival Guide to Autopilot’s Disease or the Turbulent Twenties of the Twenty-first Century.

Blindspot deals with a few stories related to Turkey, especially in terms of its offer, to mediate in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and, simultaneously, western responses to Turkish intentions of joining the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. The latter, of course being met by threats of sanctions - is this not another case of Eurasia rising?
