  That article is from 24th September. So much has happened since then - it could have been a different eon.

  And Edogan's turkey is far from fallen. He is also rogue autocrat protected by Article 5 of NATO. And from what I observe he has cleaned the state from people that were believing in Ataturk's Turkey. So the secular people will have an uphill battle against him.

  And we have the Kurds (that might suddenly begin to receive a lot of russian weapons and training soon)

  So much wrong could happen with Europe and middle east now - I envy the people in the Americas - it is good to know you are on a different continent.
