Sultan Erdogan has done six things that show he is going mad, according to Russia insider website.
The first thing is that he gutted much of the educated middle class of Turkey in his frantic persecution of all those he thinks might not be loyal to him following the failed military coup against him .
The second is sending the Turkish Army into Syria in what was first described as border defense against IS (a terror group he has long supported) and is now revealed (by him) to be an effort to reach central Syria and depose the government of President Bashar al-Assad. It seems that Russia (and perhaps the US as well) have made it clear to him that this will not be permitted.
The third is weakening the Turkish armed forces by his relentless elimination of officersafter the coup against him, the website said, indicating that Turkey is no longer a credible military partner in the NATO alliance.
The fourth is provoking the EU that its weakling leaders have suspended negotiations for Turkish membership. They did this after giving Sultan Tayyip a 6.6 billion Euro bribe to stop sending refugees into Europe.
The fifth is that Sultan Tayyip has now threatened to re-open the faucet of völkerwanderung (people’s immigration) into the EU as a response to suspension of the process of Turkish accession to EU membership.
The sixth is he has positioned Turkish forces in the Mosul area in such a way as to be seen by the Iraqi government as having irredentist claims in northern Iraq.
These are the most recent things done by the dreamer, who is seeking to restore the era of Ottoman occupation, without taking into his consideration the international shifts andvictories of Syrian army and people under the leadership of president Bashar al-Assad.
