Sucks at running his economy
Are you kidding? He's amazing at running his economy, he's personally made tens of billions so far!
"I'll drop my support... FOR MONEY!!!" - Erdogan.
Playing boths sides against the centre.
Russia was always Turkey's number one geopolitical antagonist; even in the best of times, a dangerous frenemy. Now, Turkey is probably the number one beneficiary of Putin's botched war. Its main antagonist is defanged, maybe permanently, and it's become a geopolitically indispensible regional power that the US and Europe desperately need to keep onside. It can dick around with stuff like hosting Putin visits, just to flaunt its own importance. Everything is coming up Erdogan.
Erdoğan is a Turkish Islamofascist pimp, he says he backs Ukraine's NATO bid, knowing the issue can't be resolved any time soon, but stands in the way of Sweden's NATO bid which is very much needed to be resolved ASAP for the betterment of the entire Alliance, and defense of the Western world.
Erdoğan is a rotten two faced piece of shit.
