Truth be told, the US was expecting one outcome from their very hasty but well planned retreat, and that was a conflict between Turkey and Assad in the least. And at most a conflict with Russia too. They made is seem that they had to retreat from bases because of Turkey's actions but in truth...
'The Russian Federation will facilitate the implementation of the Adana Agreement in the current circumstances.'
This could be great news if they intend to dismantle the whole PKK in Syria.
Sooo funny. Poor chap, his dreams are shattered.
Israeli allies have now resorted to stone throwing. There's irony for you.
I never thought I'd say this, I am beginning to like Trump.

I thought they were actually going to remix it with an Arabian spin, would have been cool. I've seen Arab bands with bagpipes in Bethlehem on Christmas eve and it one the the best things i've heard.
But this is just really really bad playing.
Next visit will see the most expensive orchestra...
Misleading article title. It implies that china has bailed Turks out in this crisis which is not the case. Many other nations have investments in Turkey but this can't be considered as a bailout. Just propaganda if anything.
You Chinese are just annoyed that Turkey can stand up to and oppose US...
