Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan took note of President Biden’s interview with Democratic butt snorkeler George Stephanopoulos. He doesn’t seem to think that Lunch Bucket Joe came off as presidential.

“Mr. Biden’s statements about Putin are not fitting of a president. Mr. Putin did what was necessary by giving a very clever, very elegant answer,” Erdogan said, speaking to journalists after Friday prayers.

This is Erdogan that we are talking about, and he is probably not the moral compass that most would align themselves with. It won’t make the mess that is happening in Syria and Saudi Arabia any easier though. Turkey, along with Russia, are major players in the area. Sucking up to them would not be a great idea, but pissing them off with petty comments probably isn’t the way to go either.
