  Taki did not understand. Sanctions against Russia, or against those who robbed Russia? Name me the sanctions against the Russian economy. Or do you want to say that the thieves have taken away the loot, and they will steal more to compensate for the losses?
  PS: Irina, judging by your nickname, you are not in harmony with the Russian language and Cyrillic. What, you don't have a Russian layout on your computers?

    - I agree - it's hard to understand - what he wanted to convey, someone "EMMM" ...
    - You - yourself - are "in your mind" and "in tune" ??? - Actually - he himself understood what he wanted to portray - "sit down" - or "hopachok" ??? - Or did you decide to portray everything at once - neither give nor take - a solid "mosquito man" ???
    - Why did it make you so upset? - I decided to dance and clap my hands myself ???
    - Damn - "sanctions, thieves, economy, nickname, keyboard, Cyrillic" ... - put everything together ...

I agree with Erdogan - why choose between Russia and Ukraine if Ukraine is almost gone?))) Why choose Ukraine as a corpse?))) Turkey will then simply continue to do business with Russia

Right. Money doesn't smell.
On the 23rd, the killer of the Russian pilot will fray with NATO and talk with VVP.

Here, multi-vector standards are supported.

  the killer of a Russian pilot got sick of Turkish mothers to tell why their sons died after the Turks shot down a Russian plane))) Only in Ukraine they think that Turkey got off with tomatoes, hundreds of Turkish mothers of Turkish special forces soldiers who died from attacks by Russian Aerospace Forces and MTR after the murder of our pilots, they think differently)))

      I don’t write anything about Turkish pilots - but the fact that the Turkish special forces lost more than 100 fighters after the incident with our plane from the actions of the Russian Aerospace Forces and MTR is true

They are used to boasting everywhere about their victories, but about "that the Turkish special forces lost more than 100 fighters after the incident with our plane from the actions of the Russian Aerospace Forces and MTR" - nowhere.

There was about joint patrols, about "Endogagn shares with terrorists and resells their oil to Europe" there was about a "strategic partner" there was about the intercepted "billion bucks in cash" from Turkey to the white helmets, namely there was nowhere about Turkish special forces.

And what does their special forces and their mothers have to do with it, if Endogan himself is covered in chocolate? As in the joke "let's go to Voronezh"?

It is fashionable to give out your fantasies for telepathically recognized plans of Putin / Biden / Merkel / Trump ....

    Ha .. You can immediately see the mess in the thoughts from the works of the righteous))).
    
    Either crazy "Turkish special forces lost more than 100 fighters", then immediately "The Black Sea was dug", then "100 divisions of Pskov paratroopers were put under the DAP"
