Carl said:It seems that things got much worse for Turkey ever since the shoot-down of the Russian jet. Although obviously it was not primarily Turkey behind this attack, so maybe the downfall of Erdogan was planned for some time.
Putin's decisive intervention effectively scrambled everything. And you could almost feel it in the air (not to mention in the thought realm.) For some time, "they" knew not what to do. It was that obvious.
With their plans dismantled, someone had to take the fall.
Hence, Erdogan's now the guy -- who trained the terrorists, sent in the terrorists, bought their illegal oil, made a personal fortune from it, created the European refugee crisis, (then stamped his "authority" over Merkel and Europe -- NOT.) You get the picture.
However, seeing this man's exhibited traits, he's unlikely to go quietly. It's gonna be messy. But in the end, he will find out what a small fry he really is ... in the overall scheme of things.
But I could be wrong.
FWIW.
