@earl-of-trumps saidOne step on Russia’s long quest to liberate Constantinople in the name of Christian Orthodoxy.
I have been watching this dance between Russia and Turkey with keen interest. As the US pushes hard at Turkey,
It will likely force Erdog to make stronger ties with Russia and China. The US has two air bases in Turkey.
Keep angering Erdgo and we could see the US airmen imprisoned and the planes confiscated before long.

The post that was quoted here has been removedIt is a politicians role to politicise anything. Even history. It’s what they do.
I reckon this one is tit-for-tat politics.
Or maybe there’s a grander scheme of behind the scenes political muscling going on.
Oil / gas or something?
Either way, both Russia and Turkey have border-line psyhos running their countries.
And although I agree that it’s best to distance from both, I’m not quite sure that pushing them into each other’s arms is a great idea either.
That being said, the Russians and Turks are not going to see eye to eye on the Armenian / Southern border issue. No love lost there.

Their conclusion is not exactly what I see for the future of the two, Russia, Turkey. My opinion.
