Is Russia expected to just sit there sipping vodka and observing the Turkish Invasion?
I thought Putin was deeply invested in protecting Assad, the Syrian president.
I think that turkey just wants to create a buffer south of its border.....
oh..and I think Assad doesn’t control these areas.....
People greatly overestimate Russia's ability to project power. Russia has nowhere near the forces in the region required to oppose Turkey in Northern Syria, and no way to get them there quickly. Russia would also not be willing to accept the losses they would take.
