I wouldn't say this means Russia have no principles, this fact more points on Turkey having none whatsoever and playing on both sides because their strategic importance and both sides just have to entertain and bribe them, NATO is also allowing them more leeway than any other member.

Ah I see your viewpoint. I still maintain they don't either, perhaps because I am comparing them relative to the USSR, and perhaps unfairly.

Fair enough, though dialectically we should get rid of such sentiments in analysis as it allows for anachronisms to set in. We all know USSR would be better but it sadly don't exist now and we have to deal with what it is.
