Putin's political death or... Everything went down the drain? Erdogan supports Crimea

Thank you Croatian press for this story.

Of course Erdogan must act in the interest of Turkey first.

Friends and enemies.

Look who are Putin's friends.

The company you keep...

Erdogan better watch his own back. The West is really waiting for that chance it missed in the last failed coup.

I’d take this story with a huge grain of salt. Erdogan is a shifty person, but Turkey has just signed a huge trade deal with Russia (its enormous) and this has caused great concern and anger in Washington. Erdogan plays a game like most leaders; he sold drones to Ukraine to show the US he is on their side much to Russia’s opposition.
He is very skilled at diplomatic games. How can Erdogan support Crimea when it has the Kurds in Turkey? He plays this game not to piss off the US which can cause him economic harm, for now!
However, the Turkish political elite see that the west is declining and want Turkey to join BRICS and tie their economy to Russia to drag itself out of the quagmire its in now. It’s now official Russia and India no longer use the US$ to trade.
Why is Washington worried? Turkey has the largest military in NATO (Europe).
For those amateur economists that get their news on CNN and declare that Russia is on its knees please don’t bother lest you make fools of yourself.
Wall Street financier, Michael Hudson said Russia’s energy exports has brought additional billions into the Kremlin’s coffers. He added the sanctions were hurriedly imposed based on the belief that the Russian economy was weak and no one foresaw the boomerang effect on the economies of the west.

Turkey cannot be trusted and I'm sure Putin knows that. He has contingency plans. He is playing this for a long time.
But, Turkey better stop playing games and decide because they tried to Kill Erdogan once, they will try again. Will Putin come to the rescue second time?

Look who are Putins friends you say....???
Why dont you ask another question, like look at who are Americas friends.........
Any comment on the fact that only 44 countries have imposed sanctions on Russia...??
Seems to me that Putin has far more friends than Washington........

Typical Turkish political theatre , the Englis taught them well. Turkey is due for a big lesson, too bad the Greeks have dented relations with Russia.

Look who are Putin's friends.
