#2   Meanwhile, the Turkish economy has gone to hell,

It would be worse except for the recent $12 billion or so in tribute received from the GNA.

#1  The stewpot is moving from simmer to boil. Greece and Israel are tired of Turkish attempts to penetrate their exclusive economic zone in the eastern Med. Egypt and France are wary of Turkish moves to support Tripoli and in doing so create a foothold for their navy in Libya. Syria and Iraq are aware that Turkey does not now respect internationally agreed boundaries and under Erdogan never will. Meanwhile, the Turkish economy has gone to hell, and Erdogan tries to find scapegoats. He is going to make a mistake soon and, inter alia, it will lead to conflict and very likely the demise of a feckless NATO.
