Not even Putin's alcohol addled predecessor managed to make Russia appear so weak and militarily inept. The fall of Aleppo--after so much death & destruction in order to rid that city of the Salafi filth, only to have it recaptured by these same head choppers--is yet another ignominious milestone along Putin's road to perdition and Russia's ruin.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov criticising Ankara earlier this month for supplying drones to Ukraine that have killed Russian soldiers.

Wow did he just wake up from a coma?

One thing i know about Turks is that they will attack when they smell weakness, they are smart enough to fight via proxy and they know they got Putin by the balls. If they close the Dardanelles its game over for Assad and Russias Syrian expedition. Putin probably knows this so he has to continue to kiss the Sultans ass as he continues to humiliate Putin (they love doing that).

Anyway i don't really care for this middle east stuff anyhow. Just go watch on youtube the Battle of Kadesh 1300 BC and you see that they have been killing each other there since the dawn of time, even the super power of the day the Egyptian empire was fighting for Syria and couldn't keep control. The US policy from what i understand is just to keep Chaos and have so many groups fighting each other they remain weak while the US military supports the group that allows them acces to minerals and resources. The Turks do the same thing with those rebel groups, fighting by proxy and deny any involvement when they are accused by that sleepy fossil Lavrov.
