People can have different opinion  about whether Cuba should let a Mosque be build on Cuba, but I understand why they don't want Erdogan influence near them.

Yeah, they should let a mosque be built but they shouldn't let Erdogan have anything to do with it.

You left out the party where Ergodan wants to do this because he thinks there was a mosque in Cuban before 1492 and that Muslims came to the new world before Columbus. Basically, he's going senile.

I don't know if it's senility so much as a new breed of propaganda designed to distract the masses. "Brutal political repression and deteriorating international stature? Hey, look, I've got the deed to America right here!!!"

Junk regime!

EDIT: This refers, of course, to both the Castro regime and the Erdogan regime.

I was thinking the repressive tendencies were also a result of senility. I don't know, maybe I'm giving him too much credit but it seemed like until recently he was a fairly standard democratic conservative and not at all dictator-y.

This might the first time Sarah Palin and Fidel/Raul Castro agree on anything.

I don't think he have changed, but by now he have gotten rid of most of his opponents in the judicial branch and the military, so he can get away with behave less compromising, at the same time he have seen several foreign policy humiliations, so he yell even higher to convince the Turks that they're  "Stronk".

Of course even with the removal of his most open opponents in the Turkish state, he still risk a coup when the property bubble burst. Simply because the public support for him are mostly based on his economic results.
