Honestly I’m surprised at Turkey considering how friendly they’ve been with Russia in the past decade. I really thought they had picked their sides against NATO, but I guess they could see the Russian writing on the wall from all the way over there.
Don’t forget the Russian and Ottoman empires shared a border, and had a war the same time France and Prussia had theirs. Turkey is Europe’s defence against Russian expansionism via the Caucasus. Or at least it was - now it’s those brilliant and tough motherfuckers in Georgia holding the fort.
