Ukraine and Russia seal grain deal as U.S. pledges more military aid
This will help some with the current and looming future food crisis. I find it interesting how Erdogan is maneuvering on all sides, to kind of be the middle man between Russia, Ukraine, and the West in General, having ties to Iran and Russia over Syria, but also being a NATO member, he does things like blocks access to the black sea for Russian warships and blocks his airspace to Russia when they're transporting troops to and from Syria, but then goes and meets with Putin in Tehran this week, and MAKES PUTIN WAIT ON HIM, knowing that they are both countries that are heavily sanctioned by the rest of the world and they NEED Turkey, similarly Erdogan pulled clout in regards to Sweden and Finland's accession into NATO, knowing that Turkey's strategic Geographic location makes them indispensable to NATO.
It's hard to tell who's side Erdogan is really on, except his own side of course.
inb4 people think Ezekiel 38 means he's on Russia's side.
Rather I take Ezekiel 38 to be meaning from Turkey, because the specific regions that Gog is "chief prince" of, are in Turkey. Being Putin's "ally" is not accurate enough to declare Putin the "Chief Prince" of Meshech and Tubal. Persia and Put are allies of Russia, Gog is not the "chief prince" of them, they're just "with" Gog. Erdogan is maneuvering for his own power and his own clout, and probably for restoration of the Ottoman Empire. He definitely wants to see Turkey be a bigger part of world affairs, hence the rebranding of the country as Turkiye earlier this year.
