Not sure if we can get help from Turkey on this. They may not want to get involved.
As an aside when I was a nugget I remember Lex spending an extra hour one night helping me understand a tactical concept, even though I wasn't in his squadron. A very good dude.
I have been reading Lex's site for a while and think his posts are well thought out but I get nervous when people suggest we break rule number one: Never should 2 regional or world powers face each other directly on the battlefield. I understand that Turkey sacrificed Georgia to the commies in 1922(?) but since the Russians are already accusing them of
taking sides they may be amendable to helping. Still this makes me very nervous.
