Erdogan believes he has his bully standing behind him.

He may be wrong.

Irresponsibly hitting trucks in the region that are there for trade or humanitarian reasons is playing with fire.

What a load of crap...

If he considers him a bully to anyone other than his less than marxist countrymen then Erdogan’s judgment is sadly lacking.

True.

In the Obama - Erdogan dynamic, the Muslim is definitely giving the orders.

Two leaders engage in physical combat. One is, in essence, President Testosterone; the other is President Estrogen.

Guess who wins?

Cool. Insulting his much larger and pissed off opponent at the weigh-in before the cage fight.

The truth is that both Putin and Obama want our countries to cooperate with one another in defeating ISIS. But, our relations are complicated by Russia's alliances with Iran and Assad. Russia is now saying that it wants to cooperate more with the West. That is a good thing for both countries. Someday, maybe even Iran will come around, but probably not as quickly as Russia.

I recognize that there are people who have an unrealistic view of Putin and think that he is stupid enough to go to war with the West, but he is not that stupid. He knows that Russia's best interests lie in cooperating with the West and that is what he will be aiming for. But, there remains the problem of Iran.

Do you really think that Russia wants to trust Iran? Do you really think that Russia would be comfortable with a nuclear Iran?

In the end, Russia will side with the West.
