Erdogan is brilliant at playing both sides. Europe and Russia, Europe and the middle east.
He understands that Turkey is indispensable for both sides, so like a kid from divorced parents he knows exactly how to work this into his favor.
I hate the guy and what he did to democracy in Turkey tbh, but this is the game he plays most cunningly. Not many nations can get away with shooting down a Russian jet and get away with it.
I’m this case he’s calling out European hypocrisy, as he knows they care about that. He doesn’t.
