From Tass:
Turkey has shifted the orientation of its foreign policy somewhat following the NATO summit in Vilnius. “Erdogan met with Joe Biden. He said that a new stage had begun in the development of bilateral [US-Turkish] relations. [Ankara’s steering of a]n independent course - distancing itself from Washington, Moscow, Brussels and London - has at times given each of the key decision-making centers cause for anxiety,” Koshkin noted.
Erdogan also ticked off the Russians by releasing those 5 Azov Battalion commanders. This is not good. The most likely peace broker, short of Donald Trump, should be Erdogan. He was successful at it in the spring of ‘22.
You can't go your own way in the rules based international order. You have to do what our rules tell you to do. What are the ruleS? Do what I say. them's the rules.
Be very wary of Erdogan.
I don’t for one second believe he has the west’s best interests in mind.
