A Europe of sick men
With its repudiation of Israel and its military alliance with Syria, Caroline Glick explains how and why Turkey was lost to the West.
... even if the AKP's rise to power was eminently predictable, its ability to consolidate its control over just about every organ of governance in Turkey as well as what was once a thriving free press, and change completely Turkey's strategic posture in just seven years was far from inevitable. For these accomplishments the AKP owes a debt of gratitude to both the Bush and Obama administrations, as well as to the EU.
And the rest of us. It is obvious to the rest that the West has lost its spine; what remains is the inevitable.
