But we must do something. If we do not, russia will continue attack harder and harder. two russian warships passed boshporus today to go to syria. We could have blocked them. But Our biggest weakness is aour government mentality. Months ago .. befor idlib conflict Assad soldiers(really assad soldiers) Killed our soldiers on observetion spots. What did we do? Nothing. Then another attack come. What did we do.. Again nothing. Then assad started to attack idlib and sorruounded turkish base in idlib. What did we do. Again nothing. We should have taken actions before all this happened
It's been a disaster from the start. No clear mandate, no strategy. The lack of response from Turkey to the killing of their soldiers emboldened Assadists, who're already emboldened by having the Russians on their side.
But one must keep a clear head and realise that hitting the Russians directly risks an ugly war. Turkish troop positions appear to be vulnerable partly because of lack of air cover and SAMs it seems. A smart move just now would be to first prioritise cover for the troops.
Any retaliation on Russia should be done by third parties that Turkey supports.
