By contrast, the thug and gangster Putin is not biding his time. He's overcommitted now. Erdogan has at least learned from his early mistakes. I look forward to both their demises, Putin's first. The difference is, when Erdogan falls, whatever follows will be worse, and not by a little bit. Putin's fall will lead to a massive internal crackdown and withdrawal of far-flung armed forces.
