#1 Erdogan is an aspiring demogogue on the Benito Mussolini model, as seems to be trying many of the same options. He's caught between the foreign policy machines of Russia and the US, which are basically driven by the arms dealing corporations in each camp. He seems to be trying to make Turkey into a 'fulcrum' or balance point, when he actually has more of a pothole to work with.
Erdogan's kinda like Saddam Hussien: a medium capable leader on a very small platform. He only has two or three drums to hit, expect him to play them often.
