Recep Tayup ERdogan: Trouble in Syria-Again

         So, it was a bad day for members of the Turkish army who were on the border with Syria manuevering against Russyan-backed Syrian army forces in the vicinity of Idlip, the last stronghold of the rebel army that has fought with the loyalist troops of Bashar Assad's Syrian nationalist forces.  During the action, a Russyan fighter bomber dropped munitions on the Turkish troops, killing at least 33 soldiers and wounding many more.   President ERdogan, under pressure across the country, is meeting with Russyan Pres. Putin to discuss the problems as it appears that another million refugees are approaching the Turkish border seeking safety from the last days of the 6year conflict.  No doubt these are the final days of the struggle that has driven millions of Syrians from their homes to the uncertainties of foreign lands as refugees fleeing a war torn country.  
       As a ploy for an improved bargaining position, Mr. Erdogan has threatened Greece by implying that he will open the border between the two countries and release a flood of refugees into the country and Europe proper.   Greece has finally begun a real recovery from the depths of its recession of 2008/9.  The economy is expanding and any new influx of refugees could derail any progress.  In light of the spread of the coronavirus-Covid 19, all movement within Europe itself could come to an end soon.  Should EU states close all borders, the refugee problem could develop a host of new problems unseen in the recent past.
      The Turkish government is keeping an eye on Russya's moves across the border as Russyan military assets continue to build up  in the region as Mad Vlad continues to expand his influence even as he currently loses influence at home due to international sanctions imposed by the US government and EU States.  It's not a good time in Turkey and it will be awhile before stability returns to that troubled nation.
     Thank you, Mr. Erdogan-chief Turkish narcissist.
