I wonder what Putin is thinking.
He is thinking about multiple strategies on how to remove the “Mad Turk” Erdy.
This could be as retribution for Obama denying handing over that Cleric to Erdo. This guy Erdo is a madman, or he believes Obama is a wimp.
Without Turkey, NATO is more vulnerable to Russian aggression. If Russia knows that Turkey will not support NATO, how long before they start taking back more of the old Soviet Union? Various former Soviet Bloc countries are nervous while Putin is putting on his dancing shoes.
