Next time I want a prom picture . <| sep |> So whats the point ? Erdogans coup , his crackdown on military , press and Glenists , his loudmouth politics , his blackmailing . he already decided about a half year ago to stop caring for the EU . And i cant blame him . The same way he blackmailed us , we tried to blackmail him . By stopping to care he has taken this leverage away . But what could be considered a smart move seems to me not much more than i don ' t give a fuck anymore ! . Because instead of acting clever he turns turkey into a dictatorship , tries to make love to russia while sending threats in the direction of europe . The result will be if this is going on that europe uses the only leverage it still has economic and travel sanctions and the spread of antierdogan propaganda and finally NATO membership . And all that while Erdogan is already fighting Kurds and ISIS . I ' m not sure where this will end . I ' m just hoping turkey doesn ' t end up like Syria .
