Since I revealed yesterday in a comment that I studied in Jerusalem, I will fess up to recently taking a self refresher on archeology in Istanbul. If you have an interest in the post biblical era, Turkey is about as close as you might want to be now, but even there Trump switched planes to fly out of that country.
Erdogan and Turkey continue to profit from being the safest place near the Middle East. Even though he occasionally rattles the saber against Israel, Trump hinted about selling him F-35's. Erdogan takes defense seriously, he even gave the NATO delegates Turkish made revolvers as departing gifts.
Trump seems to be still searching for an exit strategy from Iran. He doesn't seem to have any working knowledge of diplomacy, nor are any of his sycophants so equipped. MAGA is still defending him, but they're leaving the red hats at home.
