    While we’re at it, give Kurdistan back to the Kurds as well

      They won’t even return the occupied part of Cyprus. Honestly I’m surprised that Russia still didn’t try to use that one for propaganda, since the Turkish claims are very similar to Russian ones and it’s a wedge between two NATO members.

        Turkey is considering joining BRICS. Putin has more to lose than he has to gain from provoking one of the more friendly NATO members.

        Turkey drives wedges between itself and other NATO members on its own anyways. I don’t think Russia pulling on that thread would do anything other than make Turkey less friendly to them.

        It could even have the opposite effect and unify NATO a bit because who in the West gives Russia any credibility other than the far right?

      And hand Trump over to the Kurds so they can show him their appreciation for his betrayal when he was President.
