I guess the big Trump card of Erdogan is that Turkey controls geographically the access to the Black sea - but otherwise? His country is as corrupt as Russia, he is morally corrupt as Putin ... he does not worry a bit about bombarding and killing innocent people (just call them Kurds and its ok for him to kill them), he wages a war against his own people and is a autocrat like any other. I certainly would not hope that any country I relate to will be at any stage dependant on Turkish help.
Kick him out of NATO. Problem solved.

Russia destroying,damaging Ukraine's stores of Grains will help push the world to food shortages.Putin will be remembered alright, as the Devil incarnate.
To add to that I was previously predicting that the yantar research ship placed explosives on internet cables which would have been a 4D chess masterstroke providing mafioso Putin with leverage over us.
Now given the incompetence we've seen lately it might have just been simple (and faulty) listening devices.
