Putin and Erdogan are like twins separated at birth that have at last found each other. It makes every sense that they would cooperate - that pesky plane incident was unfortunate. I bet Erdogan came to St. Petersburgh bearing gifts - "thanks to the 'coup', I was able to procure a special memento for you, Comrade Putin. Here are the heads of the operator of the SAM battery, his commanding officer, and the head of the anti-aircraft forces. Friends forever?"
I have not looked at the fine print, but isn't this effectively Turkey leaving NATO?
