Oh, yes. Let’s just try to contain Turkey. Avoid confrontation. After all, that worked well when dealing with Nazi Germany in the 1930s. So let’s give it another go.
The alternative is more of what is often referred to as endless war. I don't wish to see more of our dearest blood shed for either side, or rather any side, in a muzzie civil war.
The best part of a muzzie civil war? Everyone wins.
Turks and Russians are both our adversaries. They've been keeping each other busy, and before that were into rapprochement. US fracking and other production led to a cratering of the price of crude worldwide. The price cratered further during the Demagogic Party's economic war on America.
Best part? Whatever follows Erdogan in Turkey will be worse. These are the good old days.
