There's nothing obsolete about Turkey. It's location is paramount to strategy in the middle east.

I don't understand Trump's call to congratulate Erdogan, but I'm betting (hoping) he's thinking big picture with it. Let's not forget that Russia was courting Turkey not too long ago.

To be fair to the guy Trump changes his positions so much and so often its kind of hard to keep up.

Let's hope it's not because he recognized a kindred spirit.

I doubt that is the case. It's more likely he is just keeping a door open or recognizes an opportunity. But I cannot say for sure.

I agree. But I'm inclined to think that it's entirely possible he did so without thinking and will later walk it back and explain it away as a calculated move in a "big picture" strategy. Constructing evidence or narrative after the fact is a typical trait of people who shoot from the lip.

Well that's certainly possible.
