Deep State, The Revolution In American Foreign Policy And Southeast Europe – OpEd
A deep state[1] is a type of government consisting of potentially secret and unauthorized networks of power that operate independently of a country’s political leadership in pursuit of their own agenda and goals. In popular usage, the term carries extremely negative connotations.[2]
The power of the deep state comes from experience, knowledge, relationships, insight, craft, special skills, traditions and shared values. Together, these supposed attributes make the bureaucrats nameless in a supergovernment that answers to no one. This is a frightening prospect. [3]
The etymology of the notion of “Deep State” is related to the Turkish word derin devlet (lit. ‘deep state’). But even the modern concept of a deep state is associated with Turkey, meaning a supposedly secret network of military officers and their civilian allies trying to maintain secular order based on the ideas of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk from 1923.[4] There are also opinions that the deep state in Turkey and “Counter Guerrillas” were created in the Cold War era as part of the Gladio Organization to push Turkey further into NATO against the threat of expanding Soviet-style communism.[5]

An appeals court in New York last Monday decided to temporarily freeze former President Donald Trump’s payment of a $454 million fine if he deposits $175 million within the next 10 days. Depositing this amount within 10 days would prevent the seizure of his properties.
This unexpected development on Monday happened shortly before the Attorney General of New York, Letitia James, began the procedures to collect the amount of the fine from the former president. In this case, Mr. Trump’s lawyers had turned to the appeals court to freeze the decision of Prosecutor James, arguing that it is “virtually impossible” to find any financial institution willing to sign a guarantee to pay such a fine. high of almost half a billion dollars.
In these circumstances, however, analysts judge, “unexpected events” in Joe Biden’s campaign for the second term, which may be related to new political developments, with an emphasis on American foreign policy, and economic developments, may damage the Democratic camp. or social issues that have occurred since the beginning of his mandate. Some of them can be:
1. Foreign Agenda: In the event that there may be any unexpected development on the international scene, similar to that in Gaza, but this time even more shocking within the transatlantic relations, which means the outbreak of war in the Balkans or the Baltics, of course at the insistence of Russia.
