Erdogan is an ass and a monster, but he's far, far more competent than Putin and also has a nation that is in much, much better shape than Putin's Russia is, both in the long and short term outlooks.Yep, pretty much what I predicted in the "Which country do you think is most likely to turn on the US" thread, Turkey going along to get along like a good little NATO soldier. But still, fuck Erdogan. He's just as bad as Putin if not worse.
