#NATSEC #syria #turkey #sanctions #russia
While many foreign policy experts were, and still are losing their minds over America not going to war with Turkey, I cautioned people not to overreact; today the President awarded Turkey biting sanctions that will cripple its economy.

And today, the Syrian army welcomed the Kurds into their ranks, and Russian fighter jets are actively engaging Turkish planes.

The Turks have a serious problem: they have state of the art US Equipment but their training is sub standard, their skills are crude & they are poorly led.

Now that US forces are out of the way, the Turks are going to have fight the Russians, the Syrians and the Kurds now, while their economy is gutted by US sanctions.

These sanctions aren’t the end game, either- this is the first round. There will be additional rounds of sanctions put in place until the entire Turkish economy grinds to a halt.

Erdogan is NOT popular: he is a dictator propped up by military yes men put in key posts by him.

But how long will those yes men stay loyal as the Turkish army gets mauled & savaged and embarrassed for Erdogans misadventures? How long will they stay loyal as their own financial assets approach being worthless?
