Yes, but we are the good guys.
Not scary Muslims next to Russia with Imperialistic imagery and a recent inclination to oppose NATO interests in the Middle East.
Turkey will of course not be kicked out of NATO for this. USA is just whining a bit because they are afraid Russians will get a bigger share of Turkish weapons-deal budget. They also have to wave the flag for their own internal consumption* and to signal other countries to not buy Russian when American is ... well, not better but they should still get American.
*Talking about bad Russia while promoting USA's weapon manufacturing company is easy points for everyone, democrat or republican.
