It is funny to see how Turkey is a NATO member while they are doing these types of deals with Russia. It just shows what a joke the NATO alliance is. Turkey sees what direction things are going in geopolitically and are striking deals in accordance to what they believe is in their best interest.
This is all self-inflicted though. ZOG made the decision to weaponize the dollar against Russia and this resulted in other countries looking at how they can move away from it. Weaponizing the dollar was arguably the dumbest thing they have done yet as it has destroyed the world’s confidence in it as a viable system.
