Turkey is one lucky son of a bitch! Why has Turkey got all the good fortune?
Well Russia has just suspended all economic ties with Turkey (except selling them gas). Russians are restricted from travelling to Turkey and Turks are banned from going to Russia.
This move threatens billions of $$ worth of trade and this will also weaken the lira much more verses the currencies belonging to Turkey's other major trading partners. Notably, the US Dollar and the Euro. I don't call that good fortune.
Downing that Russian plane was a very costly move by the Turks.
Bloody hell! Turkey just won the lotto!
