Do read @hxhassan thread, embedded above. Basically, @mod_Russia is in a world of pain in Syria. They can conquer the rebels anyplace, but as soon as they leave the rebels retake the town; now, they are fighting both Turkey and the rebels.— Louise Mensch (@LouiseMensch) February 29, 2020
Russia thought to remove the USA through their asset Trump, and buy the Turks off by killing the Kurds for them. But Turkey wanted the Kurds out but not at the price of attacking Sunni strongholds near them. Erdogan is insane, but he knows Russia won’t set foot in a NATO country.— Louise Mensch (@LouiseMensch) February 29, 2020
Now Putin is Sisyphus, fighting a war he can never win because it is a rebel insurgency. It’s also a war he can’t afford. But because Russia’s economy sucks under Putin, his strongman image is all he has. If he goes home defeated, having spent Russians pensions, he’s toast— Louise Mensch (@LouiseMensch) February 29, 2020
Meanwhile, Erdogan is a fascist and Putin is a fascist. Both are war criminals. Every dead Turkish soldier is a saved Kurdish family; every dead Russian one is a living Syrian child. May they slaughter each other for a thousand years. Ends.— Louise Mensch (@LouiseMensch) February 29, 2020
