Honestly maybe the best choice considering the state of things at the moment. Despite Erdogan's promises, it's still a big target for provocations and attacks. Russia will suffer more reputation damage from having the bases attacked by some loose groups and Erdogan will only shrug his shoulders saying it isn't his guys. I was thinking that Turkey wanted to recruit Russians to help wiping out the Kurds as fast as possible, but they might just conveniently leave the equipment for them as part of the deal. I know it sounds like cope, but that's what makes sense to me at the moment.
Goddamn son that is some deep cope. Do you read what you type? Its really retarded so I can't blame you if you don't.
"Russia stands to suffer reputational damage if their bases are attacked"; wouldn't the 2nd strongest army in the world that is having the Ukraine SMO go exactly the way it plans as it lures the enemy into a cauldron have no issues swatting away a bunch of disorganized sandniggers? Why would any of the syrians be so angry as to bother launching a pointless attack against the very well protected and secured Russian bases?
Its gonna be really hard to beat the reputational damage of "Only mediterranean port, and primary transfer hub for Africa activities, gone in two weeks".
"Turkey probably wanted to have the Russians wipe out the kurds, but instead made a deal with Russia to leave behind equipment to do it". I want you to re-read that and repeat it outloud in the mirror. Maybe get one of those AI voice things to read it back to you so you have to actually process how retarded that sounds (except for the "hoping the russians wiped out the kurds part"). The Russians were
supplying the Kurds because gaining freedom of movement and not having the the Kurds constantly pushing in the SAA's shit was good. Anything good already flew away or was loaded out on their ships before they slipped off into the night.
Anyway, why would Russia need to worry about its bases being attacked by Syrians? Russia has been in the country for decades, since the USSR days, surely that would mean they're popular wouldn't it? Wouldn't it? I wonder why Russia might not be popular with the new guys? Can anyone help me out here? Its a complete mystery why the new regime wouldn't like the Russians being there. The way you put it, its almost like the Russians did something that would have made the Syrians angry with them. But I can't imagine what that might be....
Putin won the 5D chess, Assad can teach him how to make elaborate chemical weapons to gas the ukrainians
Holy shit you're right. NAFO is finished for sure.
