How do we know this is Erdogan desperate to negotiate?
Erdogan is not desperate to negotiate.
The Turks and their allies the SNA will do what they can on the battlefield first.
Give them about a week. The Russians have ground troops in the fight, and armor, and air support.
The Turks are likely to pull back to their borders in NE Syria.
The big question is Afrin in NW Syria, the Turks occupied that sometime ago, Assad says he wants it back. Lots of Kurds there and the SDF is pledged to take up the fight.
Erdogan I think welcomes the sanctions...
Such negativity!
