It is example of attack by NATO country on Russia. Showing that those things become less and less "unthinkable" over time, and therefore bases becoming more of a concern over time as well.
Thinking of Turkey as defender of human rights in that case is laughable beyond belief.
You’re all over the place as usual. Your poor arguments is forcing you to switch subject constantly. What does Iran have to do with the OP? Nada.

And just incase you’d wonder. US bases have nothing to do with the fact that Turkey rightfully defended its airspace from a foreign bomber not responding to warnings. I guess Russia would do the same, altho I doubt they’d dare it.
What do American bases have to do with topic? Nada. Yet you still commented on that part.
No, US bases have everything to do with Turkey feeling sufficiently bold to actually shoot plane down over two-second fly-over on contested strip of land rather then double down on warnings.And just incase you’d wonder.

Every country looks at what over countries are doing and act according to their interests.
And, as it happens, US/NATO and Russian interests rarely fully align, even on points like fighting terrorism - regardless of any "human rights" veneer of respectability (and Russia has plenty of that in Syria too).
And I wrote that the “Russia is surrounded” is a complete invalid argument on this topic, yet you decided to reply and double down on a already stupid argument.
And apparently continue your nonsense after coming to the conclusion that its irrelevant, well done, back to ignore with you shill.
Why are you trying to invalidate something which is perfectly true?
Yes, Russia is "surrounded" by NATO bases which are perfectly valid source of concerns, and Russia was attacked by NATO member enhancing validity of that particular concern even further.
Going back on topic, still no evidence of that "SVR plot" gaining any traction over domestic US conspiracy theories.
We tried; they prefer being enemies if they cannot get submission, and modern West certainly cannot be trusted with any submission scenario, so that's a no go.
Patently false. Many attempts were made.All countries that are close proximity to Russia are afraid of an Russian invasion and have a bad history of Russian/USSR aggression. Russia till today has never even tried to make any allies.
Everyone is still afraid of German domination in EU as you see in local threads and had bad history with their invasions and aggressions; yet you cannot say that they "never tried to make friends" based on that.
Trying doesn't mean always succeeding if your enemies keep propping anti-Russian forces and sabotaging Russian friendly projects.
Even as unlikely as it is, though the truth will come out soon after Assange is extradited to America. This is more evidence to the contrary then your source less article, think of the context anyway you want but it comes from the horses mouth and that is 100%.
When did Russia ever tried to make any attempt of being a more friendly neighbour? Putten has been in power since 2000 and the Soviet Union ended in 91....the period in which they tried wasn't really long now was it.
Your so called enemies don't really have to put out allot of anti Russian propaganda, Russia is doing a great job on it's own.
From 80s. Allowed German reunification and all.
Putin tried to be friend as well for first two terms - even though he was already pretty disillusioned by the end of second one, but it looked like he was willing to try it with a different face - and Medvedev was so friendly he even abstained on Libya - and Obama got his Security Council authorization on that... which was horribly abused.Putten has been in power since 2000 and the Soviet Union ended in 91....the period in which they tried wasn't really long now was it.
And neither does RT need to invent anything, nowdays it can just report stories like "children die in US concentration camps" straight.Your so called enemies don't really have to put out allot of anti Russian propaganda, Russia is doing a great job on it's own.
Russia has no real say into the reunification the moment the wall fell.
But the fact that you think that Russia allowed Germany to start reunification processes and that you think that was a sign of good faith really is telling.
If you want to feel better at night by thinking that Russia tried to make friends with there neighbors and allies please do think that. But think at is this way. All your neighbors kind of hate you and are afraid that you will invade them. That's on Russia and no country can be prosperous if they can't get along with there neighbors.
