i want to see if we can conclude that what is happening in west asia has had such a large impact and consequence that it is also affecting the internal developments in the united states . certainly, the developments in the west asia region, especially the gaza war and in general the crimes that the zionist regime has committed in various regions of west asia, or iran, syria, lebanon, and gaza , have had a significant impact , but there have been other issues as well . for example, one of the outstanding characteristics that mr. mamdani had compared to the other candidates is that these people are called progressives in america. these are the views of they are so-called leftist in economic issues. this again indicates a serious crisis in american society, where american society has been a captive of capitalism and the capitalist structure for years, and now figures who are somehow speaking out for justice and socialism are growing in american society. that is, if we want to analyze this election and say, for example, three important events have taken place in america , the first of wh

this is a new system that is emerging, especially in west asia . that is, you look and you see that those old divisions , classic divisions, traditional divisions are no longer responsible for analyzing your new situation. that is why, for example , you thought that in this situation, pakistan would come and announce that i will use my nuclear power. on the other hand, the president of the united states would personally request that the chief of army staff of pakistan meet, i mean, finally , i saw this in the middle of the news, it got lost. well, i mean, the president of the united states of america requested a meeting with the chief of staff of the pakistani army . that's why i'm saying that classical frameworks and traditional frameworks are not a good answer for analyzing the current situation in west asia. on the other hand, the spaces that we have in our neighboring countries are not consensus spaces. i mean, they are all the same. i would like to offer you to be proactive. now, you look and you see that , for example, the proactiveness of a
