Turkey's president Erdogan is a snake in the grass. No one should trust him.

For sure, but messing around with Putin today is not very smart, and I think he is smart. We’ll see. Some people have said that it might be retaliation for something going on in Syria, but who knows.

Recep Erdogan is building a new Istanbul Canal to circumvent the Montreaux convention and control East-West trade. Once it is completed, it may make Erdogan the wealthiest man in the world because of toll fees collected. The canal aims to minimise shipping traffic in the Bosporus. It is projected to have a capacity of 160 vessel transits a day – similar to the current volume of traffic through the Bosporus, where traffic congestion leaves ships queuing for days to transit the strait. Some analysts have speculated that the main reason for construction of the canal is to bypass the Montreux Convention, which limits the number and tonnage of warships from non-Black Sea powers that could enter the sea via the Bosporus, as well as prohibiting tolls on traffic passing through it.

That goes without saying.

He's stuck in-between two half-crazed giants. His only option is to play each against the other.
