Syria | Assad flees to Moscow as rebels capture Damascus

[BobKowalski]

Starting to resemble a quagmire for Turkey and Russia. 29 Turkish soldiers killed by Russian forces and not Syrian regime forces as first reported. Increasing worry also feeding back into Turkish domestic politics.

God knows where this will end up.

It was stupid to give Turkey membership of NATO.

Now they have a nutter in Erdogan running the show anything could happen. He is loopy enough to go and hit Russian bases and target Russian aircraft and personel. They also have the kit do do it.
