In the last three year Turkey had a dream to be the new Ottoman Hegemon.
It challenged Israel, it challenged Syria (Iran) with the help of the USA, blackmailed Europe o. Immigration and finally, the fatal mistake – it challenged Russia.
In a month it made peace with Israel, said sorry to Putin and extended an olive branch to Syria.
The situation with Europe is still in air (even if Austria said that if Turkey enters they exit) as now Europe is too focussed on Brexit
Full backflip (another failure of Obama/Clinton).
The dawn of an empire already reached his sunset.
