"When there is peace they will return". Yes they would, but neither Erdoghan nor Putin has an interest to have those people return as long as it destabilises the EU, and Syriah with Assad providing military access to the mediterranean for Russia. Also of course they want the EU to look bad, because it is an alternative draft to the century-old despotism and dictatorship they are so fond of.

Those camps have been "established", but not built following a standard with proper drinking water support etc.. And all fugitives are placed there, "real" fugitives and economical ones together. I wonder at which time some africans may discover China as a country to flee to, after all the latter almost owns Africa meanwhile, financially.

Our expert say that this step by opening the border to Europe is a clear message from Erdogan.

He wants their fully support against Assad.

Maybe he wants to reinstate the Ottoman Empire, there was no "Syriah" before WW1.

"When the war ended for some countries in 1918-19, it did not for Turkey, it led straight into the Turkish War of Independence (1919-1923). This, together with the secret wartime agreements between the British and the French to divide up the Ottoman territory amongst themselves sealed the fall of this formerly formidable empire, and led to the creation of the Turkish republic."

I wonder why Erdogahn would call just of all for the NATO to help though - only by using migrants as a threat against Europe?

What I truly fear is that this Civil war in Syria will evolve into a regional war and later drag Europe and the world into it.

So far some of the countries outside have taken part by proxy, but I fear this will soon be head to head.

^The bigger problem in that is not Russia, but Turkey. They really stirr the pot. They claim regional waters around Cyprus that are not theirs. They invade in Syria. They betray the migrant deal with the EU. They once again side with a fundamentalist Islamic radical militia, like before they lined up and supported the IS and provided IS fighters save harbour years ago on their territory.

They give Russia an easy trump card to play out. And Russia collects the profit wihtouzt havign to risk much of its own. As I see it, Putin lured Erdoghan into a trap. And Erdoghan stepped right into it. That this raises tensions in the western alliance as well, is a free bonus for Putin: plenty of uncomfrotabilities for the West. Diplomatically it is completely overloaded and thus taken out of efficient action.

I wonder whether Brussels will ever learn whom they are dealing with with Erdoghan and Putin.

Just listen to the German foreign "minister". Menawhile, Super-Uschi will let Greta the Wise participate in the next EU commission meeting.

Populism and infantility all around in the west!

And the EU wasted years of time with idiotic illusions once again: a deal with Turkey! thats the same Turkey that sends gas exploration shops into Cyrian waters where they have no busioness to do, in ignorrance of maritime law. Now they once again run around like beheaded chicken.

Caution: there is a wall! Caution: pillar ahead! Caution: collision with tree imminent! Caution:abyss proximity!

The EU reminds me of Pac Man in the labyrinth. Just that there are no power pills in this one.

Erdoghan has a choice, he withdraws and loses face in his own country at a time when his popularity is nosediving, or he goes against Assad with all the force he can muster and risks facing the wrath of Putin in a military sense.

Either way he loses because I don't see NATO or the EU (not that they have their wished for army yet) doing anything that would escalate matters further.

His only saviour could be Trump but I doubt the US would want to exchange blows with Russia over a piece of desert.

The US military has conducted an air strike against Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, just hours after President Donald Trump said he had had a "very good talk" with a leader of the group.

The US signed a deal with the Taliban on Saturday aimed at bringing peace to Afghanistan after years of war.

But a US forces spokesman said it launched an air strike on Wednesday in response to Taliban fighters attacking Afghan forces in Helmand province.

The Taliban has not commented.

It was not immediately clear if there were any casualties.

I guess it depends on what you call a "very good talk" Neal. To me keeping the enemy distracted while an air strike is inbound is an excellent talk.
