Erdogan is old and his back is to the wall. Turkje's economy is performing abysmally, almost as bad as the Ukr offensive, so he held his nose, went back on his word vis-a-vis Russia and made a deal with people he knows are unreliable, just as he is. Hope it works out for the old man. Makes little difference to Russia either way.

They ARE furious over it. Hardliners are gonna use this as more evidence that Putin is TOO enamored and soft toward the West. Peter the Great was a wannabe and his stupidity made too many Russians into wannabes. DUGIN is right: EURASIA.
Yes, emotionally this betrayal is a big deal for some. Factually is is not. President Putin is not known to be highly emotional. Quite the opposite. Storm in a tea cup.
