if there is a larger war for turkiye, it would be with israel and no, the russians would not fight on behalf of israel. that's part of the reason the russians got the hell out of dodge, so as not to get caught up in this cluster fuck that zato engineered in syria in order to trap and tap both russia and iran in the quicksand of a well funded terrorist action. using ukrainian drones and trainers they sought to mire the russians in a second front, in order to give them leverage in any talks on the final status of ukraine.

stupid supremacist izzies will now be the ones to find out you don't want to bring tanks to a drone fight. times have changed, these people never do and will pay for their hubris in the end. give it time, it's already starting to unravel, hts is now asking for international help in stopping israeli air strikes on syria, lol. they have created a hornets nest in syria and they will eventually get stung. the russians and iranian were very smart not to allow themselves to be pushed into this and to prepare for their real mutual enemy that of zato.

It looks like Putin is about to try to compromise too much in Ukraine. Putin seems to want to give up as much as he can get away with. Minsk never should have occurred, Putin should have been militarily supporting the separatists all along. Putin may have done Syria in, a betrayal. With the promise from Erdogan that he could keep the Russian bases in Syria. Having an air base and naval base in Syria is not of much use to Russia. If those assets were used to support Assad then they were beneficial in halting Israel. Putin never halted Israel air attacks on Syria. If we look at actions and not words, Russia may be supporting a greater Israel, as Israel adds land in southern Syria.

Thank-you for the information. Confirmation will be if Putin takes a loss, throwing away the Ukraine victory Russia has won. Trump wants a ceasefire on his inauguration day, just over a month from now. If Putin accepts Minsk 3, with "peacekeepers" from NATO countries, and Ukraine is allowed into NATO after 10 years, we will know he is a traitor to his country. If Putin tries to pull that stunt, hopefully the Russian military revolts. If Putin tells Trump to fuck off, then we can conclude Putin is ok, but just very inept. The only peacekeepers allowed in Ukraine should be UN peacekeepers. So this is obviously just a ruse by Trump to save Zelensky's bacon. Trump is bloviating crap.
