The Black Sea separates Russia and Turkey while an invasion staged from Ukraine could cut Russia off from the Black Sea in a few days. Very different security concerns.

(Of course “Turkiye” becoming a member of Nato in these times would have been a joke considering Erdoğan. But maybe I’m just showing my naivete.)

They said USSR and they did share a small land border.

Fair. I guess Georgia? Crossing the Caucasus Mountains is harder than crossing the European Plains.
