Erdogan surrenders to Putin

My personal think Erdogan wants to exit Syria but does not know how to do it without losses in internal politics. Putin helping him with respect to slowly get rid off Syrian problems with face saving.
You are reading it wrong, the way you read Turkic countries.

So where are those S-300s stationed in the north? Provide a satellite image of them. They should be available by now after all.

Well there is something positive about the truce too:

1) Khamenai and Assad suffered HUGE loses in 3 days of massive drone strikes.
2) Strikes showed to everyone that "battle hardened" Assad army with "9 years of experience", IRGC, Hezbalshaytan and Russians are just cannon fodder vs. modern Western army.

Obviously Russians blackmailed Erdogan with economic sanctions (tourism, gas), with arming PKK terrorists, offered some concessions in Libya. But its the first time truce is signed from position of force not weakness and has some chance to hold.

Agree. But Erdogan may double down to win popular support, he is opportunist. Erdogan may take Putin's goodwill for granted, take more risk and mess it up.

Turkish-Russian deal was the best option for Turkey and Russia in Syria..
But it became a fatal event for whom were dreaming a Turkish-Russian clashes in Syria.

Israel and US were ready to pour gazoline over the fire...Even Iran is not pleased with that deal.

Saudi-UAE affiliated Al Nusraa terrorists and Iran affiliated Shiite jihadist terrorists are potential risk for the ceasfire..

if Putin want to help Erdogan to exit Syria
then Russia+Iran+Assad should destroy Pkk/Ypg terror organizanization who wants to destroy Syria's territorial integrity for Israeli interests

or Turkish Army will be in Syria more 15-20 years for protecting Turkiye's territorial integrity

I remind everyone , Turkish Army is also in N.Iraq since 1994
and today there are over 25.000 Turkish soldiers in N.Iraq
also there are over 20.000 Turkish soldiers in Idlib

Turkish Army is in Syria and Iraq to fight terrorism ( UN article 51 self defense )

I think the current cease fire in Idlib is fragile & war would start again ...

Turkish Airforce + over 3500 Turkish Tanks,Howitzers,MLRS,IFV , over 25.000 Turkish soldiers are in Idlib

also 120.000 Syrian National Army soldiers are with Turkish Army


this time Turkish Army will drive Assad Regime and Iran backed terrorist groups beyond Turkish observation posts in Idlib

this time even PUTIN can not save primitive Iranian forces and Assad regime

News are emerging that the rebel factions (including HTS) are getting disbanded and morphed into a regular army under TSK.

There have been a massive military build ups in both Idlib and East Euphrates recently.

So, it appears that they’re opening 2 major fronts simultaneously against YPG and Assad as an aim to take over the North.

If it’s true then the ceasefire was a stalling tactic for both sides to replenish.
