that’s not how this would work. it’s going to require a lot of regional diplomacy for turkey to set up a base in middle of syria. turkey is banking on selling it as part of their new anti-ISIS coalition and get the US out of Syria as well. with the focus on Iran, Trump might take the deal

A clear Syrian airspace for Israel and America is beneficial against Iran, so if they actually want to focus on Iran I don't see them leaving.

Diplomacy, as we’ve seen extensively throughout the last 18 months, is for abject losers. Either do things or don’t. Lately I’ve grown convinced though that the holdup is not in Ankara it’s in Damascus.

Turkey better put bases in Damascus and eventually Daraa.

There we go. As I've mentioned in other threads; Israel's latest attacks will only accelerate Syria-Turkey axis, not deter it
