Re: Turkey's President Erdogan on Brink of Dictatorship

Regardless of what people think of Erdogan though: A more secular aligned government would be particularly vulnerable at this time to being underminded by even more undesirable elements. Turkey is afterall on the frontline against IS/Daesh or whatever they want to be called today. Better the devil you know and that.

NATO needs Turkey for it's strategic importance in the region and Turkey (Erdogan) needs NATO to hide behind when he's puffing out his chest and swinging his junk around
