Turkey Is Fucked

And that's not good news for anyone on either side of that shithole.  Radical, fundamentalist, theocratic Turkey is a nightmare for the hope of secular, modern societies on the Middle East as well as a nightmare for what passes for Western civilization in Europe.  The US policy has been a disaster for the last gods-damned century, and nothing in the looming Hillary presidency suggests that we will be doing anything to correct our ongoing mistakes.  Turkey's relentless slide into primitive, superstitious insanity is just the latest highlight.
