I hope Erdogan gets some sense, but Putin knew the risks.
Putin's power depends on being BMOC. He expects everyone to back down when he confronts them. He needs to learn that he can't dictate terms everywhere. Him learning that lesson sooner rather than later is a good thing. (If 2015 can be called "sooner", that is.)
But similarly with Erdogan. I was hoping that the Turks would have cut his parliamentary seats rather than increasing them. He still doesn't have a large enough majority to do what he wants with the constitution, but he won't give up. He's a dangerous man...
Cheers,
Scott.
