Hal may well be a nutter…but one hell of a mess is building @ Syria.
Vlad has not so far really retaliated for Erdogan shooting down that Russian bomber….but if u read between the lines he has…by supporting the Kurds creating an Autonomous Area in Syria, right on the Turkish Border. The Turks have been dead set against that forever, long before Erdogan took power, so haveing it done while he is in power is a huge set back/insult to him, it also makes him look very stupid to a lot of Turkish people.
Vlad has really pissed him off, by hitting him where it hurts…….If he wants to be the “Strong man” of Turkey, he has to respond……but Vlad’s anti air missile systems mean he has to respond without air cover…..
We have two hard cases squareing up, neither can back down !!!!!
