Looking at Turkey one could say it's an expanding power, trying to flex it's military industrial ability and trying to dominate the region it is involved with like a true great power in the region.
I however see Turkey today as a Tragity, a nation with a huge potential and seeing it wasted on it's current leadership, it's hollow focus on regional conflicts and stagnating economic potential because of it's autocratic leadership.
Turkey not so long ago was becoming closer to the western world, towards the EU and was focusing a lot on it's economic development, Turkey unlike most of the middle east is a democracy and a liberal one at that, it's growing population and strong military could have been a great pillar both for itself, NATO and the EU long term, now? most of Europe sees Turkey as a threat, much like the Ottoman empire of before, it's conflicts and engagements with fellow NATO members has become a crack in the Alliance as a whole, it's entanglements within Syria and Libya have made it a constant cost to it's coffers with little benefit to it's people or economy and as we speak Erdogan and his buddies are trying to undermine and destroy Turkish democracy and the rule of law.
Going forward I don't see many great things for Turkey, either it is going to revolt and move towards embracing of the old path of progress set by Attaturk or it's going to continue down it's current neo-ottoman focus towards middle-eastern conflicts and at best pan-turkish expansionism, I don't think it's going to work out well for them if they pick the later option.

Marcos very few states can produce weapons grade uranium and it's even possible to track the source of it, basically the only way terrorists are going to get their hands on it is if they get it from rogue states (like North korea for example) or if they steal it which Isis tried to do but kinda failed because it was not enriched enough.
as for AI, that's also not easy to get since it uses specialized programing and is only usefull for very specific battle field situations, terrorists just don't have the time, funds or know how to use it well.
the most realistic means of terrorists to gain WMD level weapons would be with chemical or biological agents, they are cheap, easy to make, hard to trace and highly destructive and with advances in laboratory gear even easier to make, technology like CRISPR could produce ebola-pox if it wanted to with enough time and funds, the results could be quite horrific, think millions not a few hundred or thousands.
sadly because it's not as flashy as nuclear weapons or AI most people overlook these types of terroristic threats.

@lif3andthings763 actually no, africa cost us a lot of money and resources, esspecialy as colonies, which is why Germany was so much richer and more powerfull then the UK despite them not having an empire like France or the UK.
if Europeans wanted to take over africa the only ones who would be able to stop them would be the USA.
it would be super easy if the USA did nothing, all we would have to do is build a fleet, block all food and investment into the continent and then simply embargo everything going in, a few months of starvation would then allow us favorable deals and rights to maintain military bases like the USA does around the world and we have the continent under our controle within a few years with some minor fighting here and there.
idk what you people are thinking, Europe does not have the desire to do this, nor would the USA allow it, im just saying if the USA was not there and Europe actually wanted to do this they could very easily, the hardest parts would be dealing with resistance at home and condemnation from the USA and the UN.
just because you have 2 billion people does not mean it can't lose to a smaller force, that's just silly.
