“We are now seeing the Rise of Turkey.”

That has been my suspicion since the first reports from Aleppo.

Many do not know the long history of animosity between Turkey/Ottomans and Russia. Russia holding Crimea sticks in Turkey’s throat badly. Russia holding almost the entire north shore of the Black Sea sticks in Turkey’s throat badly. And the same for Russian aggression in the Caucasus.

This move in Syria eliminated a substantial Russian presence on Turkey’s southern front at almost no cost to Turkey. Next step, the Caucasus.

Exactly - and Turkey is far more capable than Iran and a lot more dangerous for Israel.
