I see friends shaking hands, saying how do you do...oh it's a wonderful world.
Despite what many people think about MBS, he's broken down a lot of barriers and is a champion for peace. Yes there are times when he doesn't meet your 'moral standards', but I'm open minded about his battles (with Iran's Mullahs) and its implications,
Desert Tortoise
Hard to say which of those two men is worse. Both have plenty of blood on their hands. The Turks have been engaged in a slow genocide of the Kurds since the nation's founding by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Do some reading on how Mr. Erdogan and his party treat the press, jailing reporters and opposition politicians for "insulting the President", labeling legitimate political opposition as "terrorists" and prosecuting them for crimes they cannot prove in courts that are anything but independent. Both have contracted with the Chinese to help them develop ballistic missiles in violation of arms proliferation treaties. Mr. Erdogan openly supports the Muslim Brotherhood and less openly supports Al Qaeda in the form of HTS (formerly al Nusra) in Syria. The main reason Mr. Erdogan is cultivating the Saudis is because he has so thoroughly alienated the Europeans followed by the Gulf States and also Russia that Turkey had become isolated. Now Mr. Erdogan is licking the boots of his former enemies out of weakness hoping to get out of the corner he painted his country into.
