Why do russians have such a boner for Greece and hate for Turkey?
I can see the historical relugious ties, but beyond that meme, there's nothing practical in it. Greece is an absolute anglo-american, EU and NATO bitch, whereas Turkey is the one actually holding the straits and much more 'independent' in its international stand and much more approachable as it's basically despised by the west.
Seems to me Russia would have much to gain by cutting free of the useless greek deadweight and approach Turkey instead.
It was an old Imperial ideology, designed, really, to integrate easy Turkish clay.
Russia is doing stuff with Turkey now, and not so much with Greece. Still, there are millennia old cultural ties.

I doubt it. They(turkey)'re like the one power they (Russia) can pick on.
Daily reminder Constantinople was lost.

It's really easy how to spot Russian posters when they spew this garbage.
Let me guess, you also think that NATO aggressively expands too

Turkey is full of turks.

Russia today doesn't have any friends in the true sense of the world. They insist on looking at the world through a harsh realpolitik lens, meaning that they only see objects with relative usefulness. If it would suit them they'd drop Greece like a brick and attach themselves to the Turk Dick. And feel good and cunning for having thought of doing that. This literally from another age.
