We have maintained that Russia’s relationship with Turkey will eventually erode (Daniel 11:44) and this week the news received by Russia is that Turkey is already betraying her by going to bed with Ukraine.

“Turkey and its littoral Black Sea neighbor, Ukraine, are striving to build a strategic industrial alliance that could include cooperation across a variety of military programs” says Defense News.

Turkey’s betrayal of Russia includes an elaborate buildup of a military alliance with Ukraine. The Ukrainian delegation bringing together 130 companies visited Ankara earlier this month to discuss future cooperation where the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding to pave the way for future joint projects to promote full cooperation.

A senior Turkish official said that the cooperation between Turkey and Ukraine is a full-blown program which includes missile defense and armor technology including tanks, planes and satellites. He said that Turkey has ambitions on the design, development and manufacture of fighter jets and tanks, engines and building its own fighter aircraft and missile programs.

There were two major wars were fought between the Russian and Ottoman empires in the 19th century. The Tatars even had a republic after the Soviet rule (1921-1944) until Stalin deported 238,500 Tatars to Central Asia because they had cooperated with the Nazis during the German occupation (1941-44) of Crimea. That elevated the Russian ethnic profile on the peninsula, until Sergey Khrushchev annexed the region of his native Ukraine in 1954 and Putin undid that annexation last year.

History and religion, not economy, are the keys to understanding human destiny.
