    Putin smiled.

    Ayup...

    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.

    Elbows up!

      Prediction: Sweden and Finland will end their sanctions on Turkey, Turkey will end its objections, and SE and FI join NATO.

        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.”

              LOL.

              Illinois, where our governors not only issue license plates, they actually fucking make them.

              I worked with a nurse who went to school with Blago: "He was a punk then, and he's a punk now."

              Sorry for the diversion...continue.
