Erdogan has been heading that way for a long time. US is just the latest addition to the growing line of Turkey's allies-turned-enemies, following Israel and Europe. The West was willing to overlook his arrogance and hostile rhetoric for a time, but in transforming Turkey from a strong democracy to weak autocracy he crossed a red line. The West doesn't want countries like that in EU or even NATO. We now realize that we are better off supporting Kurds, who are long overdue their own state, and that the EU is much better off setting up barriers for Turks so that they can no longer invade their territory with their hostility and rudeness and a pan-Turkish, Muslimisation agenda. (I am generalizing, of course, not all Turks are like this.)
