Let us recap what happen before the event of today between #Russia and #Turkey. No coincidence here and no conspiracy theory:
[STARTS HERE: https://twitter.com/EjmAlrai/status/669186453486850048]
1.#Turkey supported #JN #AQ and other groups to retake Salma #Lattakia, #Idlib and its reef, breaking what was considered "red lines"
2. #SAA #Hezbollah #Iran decided to fall back to big cities under their control and decided not to defend isolated locations in #Syria
3. Iran #IRGC Soleimani visited #Russia twice to explain the reality on d ground and the advice of "moderates", incl #ISIS on all fronts
4. Russia decided to intervene w/ conditions that Hezbollah & Iran get involved heavily in ground troops to benefit from #Russia bombing
4. SAA Hezbollah #Iran (& allies) opened several fronts: Latakia, reef Aleppo, Homs, Damascus and Daraa supported by #Russia/n Air Force
5. The #Russia/n involvement embarrassed the west and #SaudiArabia , #Qatar & #Turkey who thought #Assad days are over
6. Following #Sinai attack on #Russia/n airliner, #Russia decided 2become heavily involved in #Syria against all regional allies & #ISIS
7. #Russia helped to recover areas under pro-#Turkey #Turkmen fighters (& pro-#AQ) in #Latakia and reef #Aleppo bombing these heavily
8. #Russia destroyed (as claimed) 1000 oil-trucks serving #ISIS but rumours said under the administration of #Turkey #Erdogan' son
9. Turkey recalled the #Russia/n Ambassador to protest against "its presence close to the border" just after the attack on Turkmen & oil
10. Could be a coincidence, but the ROE fed to Turkish pilots can't be from today. Turkey waited for #RU AF to come close/beyond borders
11. #Russia doesn't have enough Jets to declare war on #Turkey. #Turkey knows it can fall back to #NATO after been "naughty"
12. So #Turkey is using both cards: NATO & Islam (by saying to Mujahideen I am a Muslim and help my brothers when in difficulty).
13. So Turkey is in a win-win situation, on the short term. Russia will answer in Syria and in other ways (economy, tourism, business..)
14. #Russia is not in #Syria to declare WWIII. It is for a specific mission but now this "mission" will be enlarged and will expand
15. No immediate "vendetta" is expected. Turkey offered 2day d best gift2 #Assad & allies. These r relieved as #Russia won't leave soon.
Too long, I know. So I stop. Sorry.
