Turkey is considering joining BRICS. Putin has more to lose than he has to gain from provoking one of the more friendly NATO members.
Turkey drives wedges between itself and other NATO members on its own anyways. I don’t think Russia pulling on that thread would do anything other than make Turkey less friendly to them.
It could even have the opposite effect and unify NATO a bit because who in the West gives Russia any credibility other than the far right?
