I think it is unusual as well. It shows that we have little clue about what is really happening there that we are concerned about our relationship with Erdogan.

What has happened there is a disaster. Turkey, a NATO ally with a large army and Western technology, has become Egypt under the Muslim Brotherhood with a neutered military leadership (the traditional lid on Muslim extremism). It is unlikely that anyone will stand up to Erdogan now - he used this opportunity to make himself Sultan even though he does not yet voice it to the West.

This is also a disaster that may split NATO. Some NATO countries will not stomach an Islamist with a record of horrible human rights promoting radical Islam and buying ISIS oil while others will because of political correctness, buying the oil, or fear of their own Muslim immigrant citizens. An already complicated political picture in Brussels became much worse.

There is only one question that really matters here. What is Russia’s role in all this?
