Turkey and Russia have conflicting interests on pretty much everything dont let yourself fooled by the temporary cooperation, things might change very fast just compare 2016 to 2017.After S-400 purchase, I highly doubt that you can't normalize Russia-Turkish relations!!
As far as China is concerned, it is better to resolve your differences, which frankly I am unaware of, because this century belongs to China, better to realign yourself!
Plus if I am not wrong, Isn't the origin country of F-35's the same which is supporting Kurds against Turkey! Good luck being dependent on US weapons in case of a full blown war against US's allies/Turks enemies.
Agreed! But it is better to have a lesser capable gun with lots of bullets than one excellent gun with no bullets supply guaranteed!
China on the other hand is very far away, Turkey changing camps will have consequences regarding Europe in one way or another Turkish economy is interconnected with European continent something like removing Turkey from customs union would be desastrous and i dont think China can compensate that given the fact Turkey has already a great trade deficit with China which would probably get only worse.
And then we would have a Turkey thats dependant on China and Russia instead of West, what gain would Turkey get from this?
