If there is an unsafe world and we have to live in this world, it is very difficult to achieve peace and happiness. However, it is not the world's fault that the world is insecure and restless, of course. It is we humans who make it insecure and restless. In a world where greedy countries are decisive, it is not possible to satisfy their ambitions. Because no matter how much they take, they are not satisfied no matter how much they judge. As such, the necessity of creating new balances in the world arises. The determinants of this new balance are more important than their strength, but their understanding. In other words, it does not seem possible for humanity to attain peace and security as long as the owners of the understanding that is based on matter and that accept everything as permissible for their own benefit are decisive on earth. This is not only true today, it has been going like this for centuries.
 
I am not trying to produce pessimism. However, when we pay attention to the events going on around us, it seems that there is no setting for looking to the future with confidence. Because when the bandit becomes the ruler in the world, he inevitably only wants his wishes to be made. For them, concepts such as the independence of countries, right and justice gain importance only if they serve them and protect their interests, otherwise they push these concepts to a corner with the opposite of their hands.
 
Even when we look at the moves of the USA towards our country, it is possible to see this reality. Our country is shown as responsible for the deteriorating relations in recent years. However, our country is not guilty in this regard. The USA has determined our country a position in the region according to itself. When he gets the impression that he is going out of this position, he immediately brings up some impositions. Especially in the field of defense, they do not want them to become self-sufficient, and when such a situation seems to be the case, they suddenly become irregular. Our country took action to establish its own defense system and wanted to resolve the issue together with the USA, which it has accepted as a friend and ally for many years, but the USA did not want this, it took an attitude that could mean what you will do to defend, I am with you, as a result. did not sell the Patriot defense systems we paid for. If attention is paid, I say that he did not sell, he did not give. Because our country does not expect a donation, it just tries to meet one of its needs. It has taken action to buy the S-400 missile systems from Russia, which will replace the Patriots. This situation seems to have made the USA crazy and started to act as if it were a country that had to fulfill every order.
 
As such, relations seemed to be corrected on the one hand and our country on the other hand began to be squeezed into the corner. In the Mediterranean and Greece, the US has begun to build up troops and establish new bases, while it has begun to be claimed that there is a need for reassurance in relations with our country. They expect a number of steps back from Turkey in order to make it as if it were our country that damaged the trust. Oddly enough, many people do not have the question of what the USA is doing in the Eastern Mediterranean. It is as if the countries of the region called to come and protect us. Because we have a bandit who determines his own position based on his strength. Are the US and EU countries different? In the news that has been reflected in the media for days, it is stated that 18 thousand refugee children have disappeared in Europe between 2018-2020. It is not clear where they are going. Is it possible to explain such a situation with a word other than savagery?
 
In the meantime, it should not be forgotten that some EU countries are taking an unfavorable attitude towards Turkey and acting hand in hand with their opponents. Could it be possible for humanity to find peace in a world where those who lack such self-seeking, right, and legal understanding are decisive?
 
One might ask, what is the solution? Everyone needs to research and find the answer to this question.
