Russian president hates the Turkish president and policies as he called him a terrorist and told him to die.
Chinese president hates Turkish president because Turkish president said genocide is occuring in Xinjiang and supports separatists etc.
China and Russia are both global powers with nukes and hold vetos in the UN.
Turkey also upset many other countries in the region including Iran (saying Iran is helping its enemies with its Shia militia), Greece (old history), Kurds (in the region) and even Israel (to a degree)
Before China and Russia always put up with Turkeys business and never bother to throw any weight at Turkey and I am not saying they will now (like Russia/China/Iran will not go to war with Turkey). HOWEVER i think it is time for the two global powers and Iran (as a regional nation) will begin to put some resources into making Turkeys life a little more difficult due to the troubles Turkey is giving the above said countries. This 'trouble' could i suspect come in the form of giving money/weapons/training to the Kurds, alienating Turkey politically/economically, providing discrete support and stirring up trouble within Turkey e.g. supporting other political parties etc.
What do you guys think will happen as relations worsen between China/Russia/Iran/Kurds and Turkey? What sort of methods will they take to 'punish' Turkey and how will Turkey respond? We all know Turkey is by no means a small or weak country and will not take things lying down like some of its neighbours.
