~~snip~~ The NATO base in proximity to the inferno is Allied Land Command (LANDCOM), the standing headquarters for NATO land forces in the region. The Commander LANDCOM is the prime land warfare advisor to the Alliance. ~snip~~

I guess the US & Dutch(for example, pick any EU contry) media is telling the truth when they say Putin is the devil but Muslim immigrants & Sunni allies are wonderful.

If Russia had wanted to design a campaign of reflexive control—using disinformation to coerce an adversary into voluntarily selecting actions that will be advantageous to Russia—against Turkey, it couldn’t have done it any better. This may sound like the stuff of conspiracies, but the idea that Russia knows how to use fiction for political gain is hardly far-fetched. Estonia’s Foreign Minister recently described how Russia is simulating a war over the Baltic sea in order to show a war on state TV. If a made-for-TV war—why not a made-for-TV coup?

There are profound consequences to ignoring Russia’s many-fronted hybrid war against the West, and from failing to acknowledge that Turkey is, and has been, as much a target of this war as Ukraine or the Baltic states. As long as these explanations, which are amply documented with circumstantial and frequently direct evidence, are dismissed as conspiracy theories, leaders can duck responsibility for addressing the crisis.
