Turkey Launches Military Airstrikes in Iraq in Response to Bombing in Ankara. What will Russia Do? - Joe Blogs
Following a recent bombing in Ankara, Turkey has launched AIRSTRIKES in Iraq against Kurdish forces. This is a highly interesting development as historically Russia has supported Kurdish forces and follows on from the recent conflict in Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is a longstanding Ally of Turkey and decided to send forces into an area occupied by Armenia. Russia had been supporting Armenia in this conflict but did not offer any support this time due to its ongoing commitments in Ukraine and as a result Armenia was forced to concede and give control to Azerbaijan. In this video I provide more information on the situation and discuss whether Russia has lost the ability to be involved in any more military conflicts outside of Ukraine.
