Just reading some random news, first a prisoner exchange is agreed between Turkey and the USA. USA comes through, Turkey reneges. Then Erdogan basically tries to get into a game of chicken with Trump, while Turkey has nowhere near the political clout to actually pull that of.

Is it just me, or does Turkey desperately need someone in charge who actually understands international politics?

Turkey has a lot of radical Islamists who keep voting him in. He should've been dead years ago.

Because he's rigged the elections and imprisoned his opponents? It's hard to get rid of dictators.

Trump and Turkey are in a little bit of a scuffle at the moment, but him and Erdogan are friends -- like Trump is with most authoritarians, and Trump has repeatedly praised him.

That would be the correct answer yes.

Considering the aftermath, it would be almost ironic if it was.
