>>>>>The Russians cannot get too aggressive with Turkey because of the Dardanelles.<<<<<<<<<

Blocking international waterway is casus belli. Turks would not dare. Again, if Russia retaliates, NATO can not invoke Chapter 5. So, no point in doing it.

Ruskies could use cyber strike teams to syphon off Erdogan’s wealth stashed around the globe and channel it to finance PKK and let Erdogan know. Also, creating havoc for Turkish economy. Russian FM advised Russians to stay away from Turkey, probably to prevent hostage situations after the payback. IMHO, this will not end well for Turkey.

I think Erdogan and his clan are so crooked they almost make a Clinton look honest.

The cyberware idea is great. Siphoning off their bank accounts and re-routing them would be really sweet.

You know, I wonder how much the Turkish Army has been politically cleansed. Have read that there are generals who hate Erdogan’s guts. A coup would be stimulating.
