Surrounded by flags honoring Islam and talking about laws other than Sharia....

Well, I didn’t expect to read that. Erdogan has not been
one of my favorites, but he’s not snuggling up close to
Russia here.

His recent demands of Sweden and Finland regarding their
dealings with Israel still stand, so I am not going to
become a fan of this guy.

He’s a loose cannon > IMO.

If nothing else, you can’t blame Erdogan for being committed to trying to game both sides of the proverbial geopolitical fence.

(Pay no mind to his glaring hypocrisy on the matter of Turkey’s claim over northern Cyprus.)

Yeah, that's going to happen.

Right after America gives the SW "back" to Mexico, and gives Hawaii back to the Hawaiians. Right after that.

Never going back - nor the new Russian eastern third.

Soon ukraine will no longer have a sea port.

NATO will launch a false flag any time to blame Russia

Erdogan plays to win for Turkiye which is how he wants the country’s name spelled.

Trump could understand and deal with a man like that no matter how distasteful Erdogan may be.

Turkey, the NATO Ally who went to War against another NATO Ally (Greece) over Cyprus a few years back. Seems like just yesterday to me.

The nations jabbing their fingers at Russian control of Crimea have their own occupation skeletons. How far back must one go to legitimise an occupation or de legitimise it. You could say Turks are not legitimately part of Anatolia. The Greeks have a stronger claim.Turks are regional interlopers

Others could require that Istanbul must be returned to its roots as “Constantinople” and all the mosques reclaimed by Christian Churches.

What’s the chance of that?

I think that Crimea is historically Russian, and in an honest referendum the inhabitants of Crimea would choose to be part of Russia.

However, Vlad Putin has made such a mess with his brutal invasion of Ukraine that Russia may wind up losing Crimea and everything else. Russia should start worrying about holding on to Siberia. Until 1860 Vladivostok was part of China, and I’m sure the Chinese would like it back.
