President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey spent Friday reminding the world why he is Vladimir Putin’s preferred useful idiot. Continuing in that vein on Saturday, Erdogan tripled down on his imperial fanaticism.

Speaking at a party rally, Erdogan offered three repudiations of the democratic international order. First, he attacked France over its commitment to defend its democratic values and way of life. Second, Erdogan pledged to keep fueling the bloody war between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Third, he promised new assaults on Greek sovereignty.
