NATO-Member Turkey In Talks To Buy Russian Anti-Missile System While Erdogan Slams Obama

While Europe is busy telegraphing to Putin that Russia remains a political outsider, with the most recent example coming on Friday when Swiss fighter jets shadowed a Russian government plane flying over the country, Turkey has been actively seeking to distance itself from the west and to gravitate toward a sphere of influence dominated by Russia and China. To this end, the NATO member announced it is in talks with Russia to purchase advanced S-400 long-range air defense missile systems.

DYI: Don't put too much stock in this deal - as politics makes for strange bedfellows. Turkey historically is Russia's mortal enemy going back at least 500 years.  This deal seems to me to be nothing more than business and a way for Russia to keep close tabs on Turkey.

Who are Russia’s greatest enemies, according to Russians?

The United States, Ukraine and Turkey are the countries most hostile to Russia, while Kazakhstan and Belarus are good friends to Moscow, according to the results of a new social poll.The U.S. topped the list in the survey carried out by the Levada Center polling agency, with 72 percent of Russians seeing it as an enemy. Ukraine came second, with the country viewed as a threat by 48 percent of Russians. A year ago, this figure was lower – 37 percent.But Turkey has made the highest jump in the ranking of Russia's enemies. While a year ago, only 1 percent of Russians regarded Turkey as an enemy, the figure has leaped to 29 percent this year.

DYI:  With Trump in the White House January 20, 2017 relation will begin to thaw very rapidly. The globalist's will have to regroup their efforts in their attempt to colonize Russia's natural resources.  As it stands the globalist's efforts have been pushed back at least 20 to 30 years and averted a war since Clinton lost the election.
