Navalny, Putin’s vocal high profile opposition, now jailed for 9 years on trumped up fraud charge. Basically witnesses at the trial were coerced by govt officials to lie.
This after Putin failed in an attempt to poison him. His family even had to take him out of the Russian hospital to Switzerland so Putin’s men wouldn’t finish him off.

That's not to say we should judge any nation in historical terms. Lord alone knows we don't exactly come out of that smelling of roses....and neither do Germany to name but two...

We shouldn't forget where Turkey get oil and gas from.... (Almost all of it is imported from Iraq, Russia and Kazakhstan).

And Turkey have stated they are remaining neutral, even with closing the Bosphorus/Dardanelles to Russian warships, looking to mediate between the 2 sides. Putin is still talking to Erdogan after all.

This makes me think that Turkey is less "neutral" and looking at a bigger picture for their own benefit.
All those Russians will want somewhere to go on holiday etc.
Erdogan & Putin have more in common than is comfortable for many.

Maybe Erdogan is thinking of helping Russia as they shot down a Russian war plane some time back, and maybe Putin is reminding Erdogan of this and the fact that Russia didn’t invade. Probably not but I do think Erdogan will want to keep Putin sweet.
