What Ataturk gave to the Turks, Erdogan has thrown away.
One more Islamic shithole coming up.
Yes. There are consequence for the likes of Erdogan to have power.
It will destroy Turkey, and bring misery to the region.
Our leadership is marking time to see if he will flame out from inside Turkey. He could tank the economy totally and bring about a revolt. Then it would be a free for all.
Qattar has so far kept him afloat.
2 times before, the Ottomans (Turks) have destroyed Saudi Arabia. Once they captured the King and took him to Istanbul and beheaded him. Saudi Arabia is very powerful economically.
Russia wants the straits and the oil. And to control Europe via fuel.
Putin like Erdogan wants to restore a great (sarcasm) empire that was lost.
Some things cannot be undone.
