If you really think it's so black and white then you are wrong. don't listen to the American media who brainwash the public into thinking it's one side against the other. The situation is complicated. Many different players with varying interests. and they all have different enemies in this. I advise you research the true situation and you will not have such simple questions.
And just so you know, the Russia military is not much more advanced than turkeys. the only major difference is nukes. If Russia launched an offensive on turkey it would be crushed. Turkey has a massive army that's very well armed and trained.
I'm not saying they're better but Russia is not capable beating them on Turkish soil with their current army and without using nukes.
