The Russians play chess. They will cripple Turkey economically. In fact, they have already started to do so.

LOL. How will they cripple Turkey economically?

The top export destinations of Turkey are Germany ($15.5B), Iraq ($11.9B), the United Kingdom ($8.92B), France ($7.7B) and Italy ($7.26B). The top import origins are Germany ($25.8B), China ($24.3B), Russia ($14.5B), Italy ($13.2B) and the United States ($12.1B).

A related problem is that Russian tourism abroad is already way down because the ruble has declined in value. Putin should spend more time on the Russian economy. He should trade in the kleptocracy for a more free market economy.

But, I have doubts about whether he understands much about economic principles. As a long-time commie at the KGB, his views became a bit distorted, probably.
