I have worked and lived in the middle east for a very long time.
One thing universal to every country I have experience is it is a cluster f$#k. There may be an exceptional leader or one off individuals or groups but as a whole total incompetence. Enough to make Gomer Pyle seem a rocket scientist.
My prediction stale mate. Because one side will stop for tea and the other didn’t to put oil in the engine today because they did it last month.

Got a good belly laugh from that one. Rings true for Egypt, but less so for the Turks.
The Turkish side will be mostly local tribesmen and hopped up jihadi mercenaries however, rather than Turkish regulars, so lots of room for incompetence.
