Good commentary in video!
I'm following this whole story because I think it's very interesting that a NATO country is buying sophisticated Russian hardware.
It is noted that Turkey is not the only NATO country to buy Russian, however the proven caliber of the S400 worries America.
The S400 has basically created no fly zones even for the American stealth planes.... No wonder they are ultra annoyed! :-)
I hope that this is the beginning of Turkey slowly pivoting to the east (which will serve them well), however early days for that. Turkey seems to be very naive regarding the Americans. Turkey is trying to balance between east & west because it serves their purposes. Good on them for doing what is best for their circumstances, however they underestimate the American reaction to a "friendly" country pivoting!
Like I say, I keep watching the story, this is a very interesting example of finding out where the division between east & west will appear. (the west waning, the east rising.)
