Who are you supporting in the Russia - Turkey (Putin - Erdogan) tiff?
Initially I was sympathetic to Turkey’s case (shooting down the Russian warplane), because I think that the Russians aren’t helping matters in Syria and are probably making things worse by supporting Assad.
On the other hand, Erdogan is grade-A shit himself, and would like nothing better to become Emperor for Life in Turkey and roll back all of the secularization that took place in the last 70 years. He is no angel and no liberal, and certainly not a paragon of governing a liberal democracy.
But Putin is no icon of justice himself.
Where do you fall on this?
