Erdogan Putin handshake flags

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization now lists China, Russia, India, Iran, and Pakistan as members, and Ankara is already a dialogue partner there. President Erdogan said after the Bishkek summit that Turkey might seek full membership, though he clarified this wouldn't sever ties with NATO or the West. The analysis frames this as hedging between alliances rather than picking a side. It questions whether we can actually trust Turkey's current position when they treat the old rule about enemies becoming friends with a straight-faced what friends? response.
