Sign of progress
When Erdogan jumped into Libya a couple months ago, it looked like more of his stupid self-defeating imperialism.
Maybe not.
Via Al Jazeera, Russia and Turkey are hosting the leaders of both sides in Libya's long civil war, hoping to start some kind of peace process. Russia has been backing Haftar and Turkey has just started backing Sarraj. Now both countries have some degree of leverage on the respective sides.
This turns out to be a smart move, an intervention aimed toward peace.
After several years, I'm re-applying the Zero Problems tag to Erdogan. ... but still remaining cautious.
