COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE GUARDIAN
This is one of the most important diplomatic revolutions of
our time.
And Putin - without question, the finest statesman of our
time - is responsible for it.
I do not like Mr Erdogan, but he is legitimate leader of his
country and must be dealt with.
It is rather amusing to see American plans in the region
begin to crumble, but these plans were always aggressive and destabilizing.
The assault, through proxies, of Syria is one of the genuine
war crimes of our day.
Well, I think the Americans just lost their key regional
partner in that dirty business.
There can be little doubt of American complicity in the
coup. After all, the NSA has the best electromagnetic spying resources in the
world, and Washington made no effort to warn or assist Erdogan.
Putin did, his security forces having picked up helicopter
chatter of some conspirators.
Seems like the old boys at the CIA just can't run a good
coup anymore.
The one in Ukraine was also a disaster.
Perhaps it’s because they are trying to run just too many of
them and in large, complicated countries.
