    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      I love the idiots who are saying to kick Turkey out. I'm not sure there's a more geographically strategic country in the whole group.

          I'm sure that Erdogan understands his strategic significance, and he'll leverage that to the best of his ability.

            I think Putin has at least twenty-seven 8 x 10 coloured glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one one explaining what Erdogan is doing on that frame.

                Please elaborate. I was not aware that these countries had sanctions against Turkey.

                Or, send me a google link if you're feeling lazy, of course.

                    Best comment yet:

                    In this regard, the Turkish authoritarian and kleptocrat seems to resemble no one more than former Illinois governor and convicted felon Rod Blagojevich who, when he found out he could appoint Barack Obama's successor to the U.S. Senate, famously said, “I've got this thing and it's f---ing golden. I'm not just giving it up for f---ing nothing.”
