“In other words, they are getting scared. They screwed up, NATO knows, Russia knows, and they are covering their back. My take...”
And likely pretty close to accurate, too.
They know the Russians are PO’d, and they also know that NATO isn’t going to back them up on it.
Obama may, but not NATO.
If they screw with the Russians again, they are going to get hurt. The quiet evacuation of Russian Citizens from Turkey is probably sending VERY loud message that even a muzzie like Erdogan can’t ignore.
Erdogan is a fool. He is helping ISIS and ignoring the Kurds. He is a rabid Muslim intent on returning the caliphate to Turkey, a move that Ataturk rightly made. There is no getting around the fact that the entire problem in the middle east is everything is based on a false premise—that being the false religion called Islam. Realize that and problem is solved, rather never solved...
Yep.
