1. regarding NATO: of course, NATO will get involved if Russia ever attacks Turkey. Some countries might decide not to get involved, like Greece in Yugoslavia, but not taking action will mean the end of NATO. That will simply not happen. 2. The Americans have left Northern Syria mostly anyway...

Hydro dropped probably because of the draught last year.

I'm in favor of never quoting that source again.

I dont think its the right time for an operation to begin with but attacking Ayn-al-Arab will get the biggest exposure internationally. I dont think thats going to fade well with how delicate things are right now with the economy. I would favour more drone strikes for now.

France was always in favour of appeasing Russia.

Me too. I like the strategy. IYI should go for the MHP and AKP votes and CHP for the liberal-ish part of the country. Play both sides and combine them both in a possible coalition.
