Re: All things Middle East related
Turkey is a bit of a wildcard as it is a member of NATO and has had a soft no fly zone, right where Russia wants to fly (the no fly zone isn't official, and Russia isn't officially trying to fly in or around that region - no opportunities for miscommunication there).
I tend to see WW3 around a lot of corners, so still hoping this doesn't expand, but this is as volatile situation as we have seen since the 60's and I am certain Putin won't take kindly to Turkey shooting at one of Russia's precious jets if they fly too close to Turkish airspace. OTM, I would say that we are not the best of allies either, do you think Turkey trusts that we will back them up if they were to have let us use their bases? This administration would throw their government under the bus in a heartbeat if their minority were to put real pressure on them. |
