LordAdam16:
It is astonishing to me because Syria is integral to Erdogan's neo-Ottoman plans.

Not even attempting to create a security blanket over Southern Syria hurts his credibility with his Gulf, Central Asian, and North African partners.

Sacrifice a pawn. Make Israel shoot down a NATO warplane or attack a NATO convoy.
Milk that for years.

The Takfiri buff**n was given firm guarantees. He will march on Assad. The Gulf will provide the money. The Turks and Americans will cover his flanks. Sanctions will be lifted and all three parties will provide security guarantees after he has offended the Russians, Iranians, and Chinese.

He did his part. If he knew he'd have to hide in a cave from the madmen in Tel Aviv afterwards, he'd have stayed back to enjoy his emirate and harem in Idlib. There he had security guarantees from everyone. From the Gulf to the Persians.
Now he has pissed off the Axis, the Axis of Resistance, internal elements in Syria, Israel, his foreign piranhas; and for what?
He does not have one Air Defense unit that he exclusively controls. Not one.

Russian patrols does not solve his QoL problems.
It only means Israel is now firmly entrenched in the South. And the Alawites, Christians, and Druze his terrorists massacred have the security protection needed [from Russia] to sharpen their long knives while patiently waiting for the Syrian Ides of March.

Axis of Resistance leaders know Iran cannot guarantee their personal safety.
They acknowledge it and stay within the network all the same.
Can you picture Hezbollah while being besieged turning to France for "stability"?
This whole Jolani debacle was supposed to be Erdogan's pièce de résistance.
The geopolitical move that announced to everyone that the Ottomans are back like they never left.
How long did that illusion last? Blink and you'll miss it.

Even if he wants to wait out Satanyahu, he should not have allowed the Israelis to show they can ban his forces from sections of his vassalage.
The next Israeli PM can easily continue the policy.

⚡US intelligence confirms that Russia’s upgraded ballistic missiles with improved maneuverability, quasi-ballistic flight paths, and radar decoys are making it harder for Ukraine’s Patriot air defense systems to intercept them.

Ukraine has five Patriot batteries, its main defense against such missiles, but recent attacks have seen much lower interception rates.

The changes mainly affect Russia’s Iskander-M and North Korean supplied KN-23 missiles.

"We came, we saw, he died" nominating a person for a Nobel peace prize has to be the greatest joke of the century.

This woman literally destroyed Libya as Secretary of State under Obama. So how is she in a position to determine who a peaceful person is and who isn't?

It is great to see the hypocrisy of these Western awards. They can as well give it to Nethanyahu because he is even more "peaceful" than Trump.

⚡South Korean President Lee Jae Myung vowed Friday to “respect” North Korea’s political system and build “military trust”, a day after Pyongyang said it had no interest in improving relations with Seoul.

Lee has pledged to reach out to the nuclear-armed North and pursue dialogue without preconditions since his election in June — a reversal from his hawkish predecessor.

Speaking at an event marking the anniversary of liberation from Japanese rule, Lee said the South Korean government “will take consistent measures to substantially reduce tensions and restore trust” with the North.

“We affirm our respect for the North’s current system,” said Lee, adding Seoul had “no intention of engaging in hostile acts”.

“I hope that North Korea will reciprocate our efforts to restore trust and revive dialogue,” he said.

“North and South are not enemies.”
