Erdogan is now sheltering Hamas "rogue" cells and Qaradawi the ethnic cleanser,
He has regular ADHD-like public rants antagonising Egypt, publicly calling for Assad downfall, castigating Israel.
Some (many?) Turkish govt. factions appear to be supporting IS, as they think they can control them.
Good luck with guarding the tomb of the founder of the Ottoman Empire http://tinyurl.com/pskwujc
It's all going to end in tears, Tayyip.
He thinks he's cool, but these ultra-orthodox Islamists will turn on him just like Muslim Brotherhood turned on Sadat, Al Qaeda turned on house of Saud, Hamas turned on Assad etc. etc.
It's called blowback. You play with fire, eventually it burns you.
Zero problems with neighbours??
He can't even keep his own house in order :-
- Gezi Park,
- That appalling mining tragedy, where his chief of staff beat up a protester (!)
- Gulenists
- The stench of corruption that surrounds him,
- Arrests of journalists, judges, police officers
- Twitter censorship.
There's only so long he can keep on blaming Israel and diverting attention from his own arrogance and racism, before his people turn on him. He's a bit like Putin, just 6-12 months behind - paranoia, trying to turn the clock back, foreign adventurism, creating lots of enemies.
