“Asia Times” ?
that’s the Chinese-Commie POS rag that always puts down America, right?
Another one of Barky “the magic n” eff ups Trump had to deal with.
“Erdogan sought help from Russia, the archetypal enemy country in the US and North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s sights”
Pretty funny to claim that NATO is isolating Russia when NATO cannot even prevent the Turkish Defense Minister from meeting with the Russians, and EXCLUDING the United States.
Makes one start to wonder just which country is ‘isolated’.
Not surprising from an Orthodox Christian perspective.
Syrian/Lebanese (Antiochian Orthodox) have long had a strong affinity with Moscow.
Neither Moscow nor Turkey have much for the Ecumenical Patriarch (EP) in Constantinople aka Istanbul.
The Antiochians were among the many Orthodox who boycotted the EP’s 2016 meeting in Crete which had been hoped to be a true Council.
Why do we have troops in Syria?
