Thanks TigerLikesRooster.
My wild guess is, the Turks don’t like this one bit, and will make some kind of move — soon.
The Russians have categorically rejected any kind of condemnation of the Syrian dynasty; the Iranians have supported the dynasty as well as one of the candidates to replace it; the Turks think they’ve worked out an understanding, and trade, etc, with the mullahcracy, but a light is beginning to seep in. They’ve been had.
Now they find themselves with an unstable dictatorship to the south on the brink of, well, not collapse, but definitely more bloodshed. They’re starting to face a refugee problem from outside their borders. There’s an ethnic group living inside the borders that wants to carve out its own country there. They’re — hey, what other Middle Eastern nation does this remind you of?
