Turkish concerns for their borders with Syria during a destabilised period in Syria’s history need to be taken into account, and in general they have never been well appraised according to Turkey’s legitamate interest in alternative media reports on Syria. More ususallly as if Turkey is an unwanted and unecessary interference. Neither Russia nor the USA live on the border however, nor do they experience existential threats with their de-stabilisation. No agreement with Russia on current control of borderlands can be taken to be recognition that the staus quo is held tacit agreement. Russia might well have have consulted with… Read more »

It means one’s ultimate objectives must not be prejudiced by making impetuous or emotional responses to either. Putin has a phenomenally cool judgement in matters of this kind. Let’s be patient and see how it plays out.
Disappointing. An opportunist…blowing in whichever direction the wind comes from.
