Ertugrul Ozkokreferring to his wife’s name “Letters to Tansuunder the heading “and”newsletterIn his articles he shared as “, today, the British violinist Vanessa Mae’Disney production scored byI Mulan He evaluated the criticisms of Russian Defense Minister Sergey T. Shoigu by making analogies over the movie.
Ozkok, “Will Putin fire his failed minister? It is known that Putin himself gave orders to some commanders at the front, surpassing him. Shoigu is a manager with whom he went on vacation in Siberia… Throwing him out might mean an admission of his own failure… But I said it’s good to be a king or a sultan. When the time comes, you can very easily turn your own failure into the failure of the person under your command… Besides, there is no one to say a word to you.‘ he said.
Ozkok’s “Look, these medals hide a ‘Mulan’, two rabbits” The article is titled:
I looked very well.
I swear I didn’t see a rabbit at first glance. What I saw was this.
“What do you see when you look carefully at this photo?
As far as I can see, there are 12 medals above the waist.
If you add the shiny metal buttons that look even more impressive than the medal, it makes 16…
And if you add the buckle of the gold-colored belt on his waist, which caught my eye even more than a medal.
Above the crotch level, you see 17 sparkling decorations…
During the Soviet Union period, I was the Moscow representative of Hürriyet for 5 years.
By God, I have never seen so many medals, even in the “Nomanklotura man” on the Lenin mausoleum.
Result; I couldn’t even see a rabbit, not two…
What about Mulan?
I didn’t see him either. I will explain both.
Russian President Putin (right) with Defense Minister Shoigu
Why isn’t there a general or admiral in his name?
The person in the photo is Russia’s Defense Minister today.
His name is Sergey T. Shoigu…
He has a uniform on, but he is not of military origin. I read Güneri Cıvaoğlu’s article in Milliyet. He had the rank of “Army General”.
A civil engineer graduated from polytechnic school.
From the Republic of Tuva in the Siberian region of Russia.
In other words, from a region where “people of Turkish origin” live.
That’s why you can call him Putin’s only minister of Turkish origin.
He is an Orthodox Christian of Turkish origin, but convinced enough to receive the First Degree Saint Sava Award of the Serbian Orthodox Church in 2003.
Speaks nine languages, speaks Turkish dialects
Like Putin, he is a politician from the Soviet-era Communist Party.
But he joined the party in 1988. So just 3 years before the collapse of the Soviet Union.
He speaks nine languages.
Among them, of course, is English.
But there is also Japanese.
What is important for us is that there are some Turkish dialects among the languages spoken.
It is also normal because it comes from a region where people of Turkish origin live.
Vanessa Mae
Her biggest hobby is listening to music and Vanesse Mae
His biggest hobby is music.
A fan of Thai-born British violinist Vanessa Mae….
World Vanessa Mae made by Disney mulan He knows it from the soundtrack of the movie.
Of course I was curious, but I couldn’t find it.
Earth Vanessa Mae is the main theme of the Disney movie ‘Mulan’.reflectionsHe is known for his song ‘.
It’s a really beautiful piece.
My sleazy brain, which is good at juxtaposing unrelated things, stuck the question in my head.
Is he listening to that song? I wonder if I can see the two rabbits among the medals if I listen…
From which market does Mulan, the magnolia go to the mobilisation, buy her horse’s saddle?
“Mulan” means magnolia flower.
It tells a story that comes from the ‘Epic of Mulan’ of Chinese culture.
The Emperor of China declares mobilization to fight against the enemies.
Among the conscripts Hua Mulan A young girl named also has an old father.
His brother is still a child.
Then Mulan decides to go to war instead of her father.
He buys a horse from the eastern market.
He buys his saddle from the West, his bridle from the south, and his whip from the north market.
Then he goes to war and fights against enemies.
During the ten-year war, many generals of the imperial army lost their lives. He manages to survive and shows great heroism.
The Mulan saga was shot both as a cartoon and with real characters.
What does a war hero want from Saray?
When he finally wins the war and returns, the emperor invites him to his palace and asks what high position and rank he wants.
Mulan doesn’t want anything and returns to her village.
His father and brother greet him.
She enters her tiny room, stands in front of the mirror, puts on her old clothes, wears a yellow flower on her collar.
That’s when his friends with whom he fights realize that she is actually a girl.
Seeing their amazement, Mulan ends her story as follows:
“The male rabbit has heavy paws. The female rabbit runs sideways. But when the two run side by side, arm in arm, can you tell which is male and which is female…”
So it’s a mobilization epic, Mulan…
It tells the story of a girl named Magnolia joining the campaign.
Those who listen to Reflections played by Vanessa Mae in that movie see two rabbits between the medals.
What song is the Russian mobilization minister listening to?
That’s why I’m wondering what part of Vanessa Mae the Russian Defense Minister is listening to these days.
Maybe he is going through the hardest moments of his life. The news from the Ukrainian front is bad.
President Putin was eventually forced to declare mobilization.
But it seems that it will not be possible to write a Mulan epic from this mobilization.
Many Russians of mobilization age are fleeing the country. The number of people who fled to Georgia and Armenia alone exceeded 150 thousand.
Isn’t there a Mulan in Russia…
There is of course…
But this story is different… It’s different…
No Mulan will ever come out of this mobilization video
Mulan was fighting to defend her homeland. She was like the Nene Hatun of Aziziye Bastion.
He didn’t have any shiny medals on his chest, but the magnolia flower named after him had worn it like a medal over his heart with his own hand.
He had equipped his horse, on which he fought, from the markets that symbolized the four corners of his homeland.
Shoigu with 17 medals is fighting not to defend his homeland, but to occupy the homeland of others.
The Mulans, on the other hand, are fighting to defend their homeland in the opposite bastions.
Yesterday I watched the footage of the morale training given to a group recruited by mobilization in Russia.
A female officer, dressed more like a nurse’s outfit than a military uniform, sings to the recruits.
Some middle-aged people with sagging belly are watching.
I zoomed in to see if any Mulan would emerge.
No friend… No Mulan will come out of this mobilization.
I told you… Nowhere in the world does Mulan come out of the invaders.
Because heroism demands justice.
Time to listen to Toccata and Fugue by Vanessa Mae
One of my favorite pieces of Vanessa Mae is Bach. D Minor Toccata and FugueIt is the interpretation that he plays the violin with the violin.
Another performance of this piece by Bach Disney’s legendary cartoon classic fantasyIt was used in.
He describes the storms there.
Of course, this war will end one day…
Ukraine’s Mulans will return home.
They will let their hair down again.
The bridge news that came to me just as I was sending this article
Shoigu is in a difficult situation these days. The Ukrainian Army is retaking some areas that Putin declared Russian territory only last week.
And this morning, just as I was about to finish this article, another very important news came before me.
A fireball was seen on the 12-kilometer Kerch bridge, the only physical link connecting Crimea to the Russian mainland, and part of the bridge collapsed.
Its meaning was:
The only link connecting Crimea to the Russian mainland was broken.
This also meant a great psychological breakdown for Putin himself.
Because he had personally inaugurated this bridge and he cared a lot about it.
At the same time, news about the regions a little higher were also coming.
The Ukrainian army had captured three more cities on the banks of the Dnieper river. In short, the logistics crossing points of the Russian Army on the Dnieper were falling one by one.
Governor: You put us in this situation, go and put a bullet in your chest.
So who is responsible for this big mistake?
The famous humor filmmaker Mel Brooks said:
“It’s good to be king…”
It’s good to be king. Even if you’re responsible, there’s bound to be someone you can put down on you.
Before the king even signals, arrows return to him.
And the first flare came from the Kherson area last week.
The Russian governor of the region came out and said:
“Many people here believe that the Minister of Defense, who is the cause of this situation we are in, should put a bullet in the chest…”
Putin Canvas is vacation and Dacha dismisses his friend
Will Putin fire his failed minister? It is known that Putin himself gave orders to some commanders at the front, surpassing him.
Shoigu is a manager with whom he went on vacation in Siberia…
Throwing it out can mean acknowledging his own failure…
But as I said, being a king or sultan is a good thing. When the time comes, you can easily turn your own failure into the failure of the person under your command.
Also, there is no one to say a word to you.
Or Shoigu with 17 medals; put a bullet in your chest?
The one who looks back is likely to shoot himself.
He has so many medals on his chest it’s hard to find a hole to put that bullet through.
In this case, there is only one brain left to shoot that bullet…
I also say,
If both Putin and the Minister of Defense had used that God-given brain to think instead of throwing bombs at someone else or shooting himself…
Neither Russia nor the world needs a Mulan epic.
At that time, the male rabbit and the female rabbit run side by side in those beautiful green grain plains of the world…
And no matter what politician and soldier photo we look at, we see the two beautiful rabbits we are looking for…
Note to those interested: The Mulan saga has been adapted into a movie by Disney in two separate ways. One was animated with cartoons and the other with real characters. I liked the real character version more. Both can be watched on Disney Plus.
