With Europe and NATO’s uncertain future under a new American regime headed by Donald Trump, the majority of the world’s eyes are fixed on the White House, morbidly curious to see which soon-to-be former US ally is next on the chopping block. Trump’s wave of tariffs on his allies and China have been the largest shakeup in American foreign policy since Pearl Harbour. No longer will the United States fund other nations to act as simultaneous buffer states and sources of external revenue.

The steadfast support of the US and other allies despite the risk of legal complicity seems at least partly attributable to the influential military-industrial complex.
In October, Türkiye was rocked by a series of high-profile femicides, culminating in mobilizations for the endemic issue of violence against women. The femicide epidemic is the gruesome product of systems of cultural and political complicity in reproducing and upholding patriarchal structures.
