    Yes, I agreed with that part. I also agreed that they're probably cool.

    US & Turkey relations are not that bad.

    You may think that from the perspective of someone who lives in the US so you may have missed a couple things. The US is actually gonna start enforcing (pretty light) sanctions against Turkey, this was voted a few weeks ago, relations have been getting worse for some time. There's many reasons for that but the main reason is that Erdogan feels somewhat restricted by the US and has been flirting with Putin for a while because he wants to be less dependent on other powers.
