  1. well, western media and politicians love to play up the closeness of turkey and russia, but really, it's only been partial cooperation this whole time, and if you look at any proxy wars going on, turkey and russia are generally on opposing sides. between the US and russia, turkey is like 80% on america's side. in "libya", turkish troops and russia/wagner have even deployed combat troops on opposing sides, and in syria, one of russia's closest allies and the country of russia's biggest war effort before 2022, turkey has invaded and currently occupies parts of the country in collaboration with syrian islamist militias (and there also is that thing we don't talk about, which is that turkey was ISIS' most important supporter before that became a losing fight). it's not that turkey and russia have friendly relations, it's more like a consensual dominance-submission thing, with turkey having provided a large portion of russia's biggest embarrassments in recent years, and putin seemingly liking erdogan not in spite of, but because of this. turkey had some drama with it deciding to buy S-400 air defense systems from russia instead of america's patriot, and getting kicked out of the F-35 program as punishment (which now looks extremely stupidy given the demonstrated relative capabilities of ukraine's patriots shooting down kinzhals, whereas russian air defenses including many S-400 systems have proven largely incapable of even defending against strizh attacks). but even before 2022, turkey's military-industrial cooperation with ukraine was bigger than that with russia, or the cooperation between many other NATO countries and ukraine, including setting up baykar drone production in ukraine. perhaps it's also that putin is so desperate for any friendly gestures from NATO countries that he's very appreciative of the few that turkey provides, since that's more than russia is grtting from any other NATO country. and of course turkey doesn't just have that kind of relationship with russia, but also partially with the US, as demonstrated when turkey invaded syria to attack the mostly kurdish SDF, the US' only major remaining ally in the country, and the US' reaction was a hasty withdrawal abandoning america's allies to be overrun by turkey, and america even pretended like nothing happened when tuekey shelled an american military base still containing US military personnel because they felt like they weren't running away fast enough. of course the US wasn't a fan of turkey's support for the islamic state either, but publically pretended like it wasn't happening, and by the looks of it, turkey didn't cease its support until the US had more or less defeated ISIS.
