        Except Russian jets are still bombing Hama and Idlib... Multiple strikes reported by Russia since you tweeted this. See @Sentry_Syria timeline.

        That’s very sad to see and hear. I am betting that Putin will fully wind down his bombing campaign (for now) when he’s assured that Erdogan won’t change his mind regarding the S-400 deal

        Bad news. I had written this would happen in Italian magazines and newspapers. Erdogan put himself and Turkey into a Pandora vase. A game he can't win, at the expenses of Turkey unfortunately.

        Sad reality that the poor people around the world are being used as bargaining chips to settle geopolitical power games. Every world leader out there is a genocidal murderer or an accomplice. True recompense lies with the Almighty.

        That's true. The only thing I agree is that Turkey considers its relations with russia more important nowadays. I don't think that the s400 system is related to idlib

        Don't you think the idea of Turkey getting coerced to take delivery of a (already bought and paid) system just because a third country is getting bombed (or not) is a bit far fetched? Would Turkey have bought Patriots if the US had stopped bombing Raqqa?
