Well, it’s perfect from his pov - Turkey is now so necessary for security reasons that he can do what he likes domestically.

I remember when it happened last time and dozens of people got shot in the streets by police and hundreds more were chucked in prison. I guess that'll be next week's headlines. He's got even more clout now - so to speak - internationally than he had then.

Tbh I doubt it'll even make the top ten 😐
