Payback! 'Humiliated' Putin kept waiting for toe-curling 48 seconds by Turkey's Erdogan in first face-to-face talks since Ukraine - two years after Russian leader pulled a similar stunt

Vladimir Putin was snubbed by Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan who left him twiddling his thumbs in front of TV cameras during a summit in Iran yesterday.

The Russian leader was holding face-to-face talks with his sometimes-ally in Tehran on Tuesday for the first time since ordering the invasion of Ukraine back in February.

But he was left waiting for a toe-curling 48 seconds in front of the world's press as Erdogan failed to arrive on time for a hand-shaking photo-op.

Putin's critics said he was left 'humiliated and insulted' by what they saw as a bare-faced snub, while others said it showed how far his standing had fallen since the war.

It comes after Putin himself had left Erdogan waiting for almost two minutes in front of TV cameras ahead of a meeting in 2020.

Many Turks are like Arabs.

Showing up for a meeting on time is bad form, it imposes unnecessary immediacy on the host who is likely to never show up on time. By being late the host is not pushed to meet on your schedule.

I’d like to get the 48 seconds back that it took me to read this thread.

who describes a 48-second wait as “toe-curling”?

Well, Putin looked a little put out, for one.

If Pootie is so inept

Why do Ukropbots view him as such a Darth Vader of woe and fury?

The main takeaway from the statements after the meeting is that Iran and Turkey are accepting Russia as a power broker and all three are seeking to evict the US from the region, to take responsibility for the Middle Eastern affairs. Ayatollah also made pro-Saudi comments.
The stupid comments by Sullivan and British media are probably to downplay this tectonic moment.

Who could have thought until February that China and India are going to reconcile?

Now, there is Iran, Turkey and Saudis on one team.

Add to that how the Saudis did Biden lately.

Erdogan has actually done domestically murderous purges that you guys wet dream Pootie might

Ain’t NATO great in 2022

The Edsel of foreign policy and power projection

That we pay for so neocons and now lefties to can choke the chicken to at night watching Murdoch orgs and defense industry and tranny blogs spew agit prop

I think Erdogan killed 100s or 1000s

Detained 25,000 officers

And another 200,000 various folks

Yet he’s in NATO

And a darling here to some

Oh and he supported ISIS when it suited him and massacred Kurds

Not that Kurds are all that to be honest

Pick your poison

Erdogan is a despot no question of that but he opposes Iran enough to appease USA state dept and sec def

Its not wise to mess with Uncle Putin. Turkey has the edge now but that might pass quickly. In the long term Russia and Turkey will fight over the city of Constantinople.

Few freepers realize the violence that the Kurds have inflicted on the Turks for centuries, but especially over the last 150 or so years. There are white hats and black hats (PKK) in that ethnic group.
