So you (Turkey) shoot down a Russian plane under the protection of NATO. I guess Russia doesn’t hold a grudge for too long. Go fig.
No, Putin never forgets.
He is a very good chess player. This is strategic. Putin has a long history of partnering with some really bad players. It need not be that way, but is.
I’ve concluded over the past 3 years observation of all this, that whether Erdogan is overthrown or not, Turkey will never be an example of Western freedom. And will always be plagued with the impulse of Massacres and Genocide.
That is incompatible with NATO and the EU.
So, here we are.
