Why did Russia-Turkey talks over Idlib fail?Ankara and Damascus appear to be heading towards a military confrontation as Russia, the main backer of the Assad regime, fails to stick to its word on Idlib. Russia is two faced, no good, not an ally, do not trust russia. Russia, esad, iran and ypg working together Turkey should send all the refugees to Russia. Pressure tactics are useless with occasional artillery movements, military obs posts and use of mercenaries. If it's serious, use its own force, it can open all fronts, roll tanks furiously and fast and strike Assad in Damascus.
