The Globalist

Russia’s and Turkey’s lack of a solid economic performance is what motivates their two leaders’ steady resorting to domestic oppression.

Although Turkey’s Erdogan is president of a NATO member country, his Justice and Development Party (AKP) and Hamas share a similar ideology, built on an anti-Western and anti-Semitic worldview.

Is Turkey turning into a Russian puppet? Vladimir Putin is showing a remarkable ability to reverse Erdogan’s Syria ambitions.

Trump should not fall for the Turkish president’s public relations stunts.

While Turkey’s President dreams big power dreams, Putin plays Erdogan like a fiddle.

Ultimately, Erdogan might end up losing Istanbul again. And botch yet another opportunity to normalize relations with the Kurds.

Losing Ankara and Istanbul is a significant defeat for Turkey’s President.

Turkey’s President is eager to stand side-by-side with Russia, China, and Iran in Venezuela.

Erdogan is a pragmatist, and will likely be looking to maximize both diplomatic and monetary rewards for the evidence he possesses, real or presumed.

Turkey’s anger over possible Saudi role in Khashoggi disappearance rings hollow.
