Russian problems in Libya vs Turkey's problems
2020-05-26
typical long StrategyPage essay
Over the weekend LNA (Libyan National Army) forces began moving away from the capital, Tripoli, which they had trying to take since April 2019....What prompted the seemingly sudden LNA retreat was the refusal of the LNA leader to go along with a truce deal that the Russians, Turks and GNA were willing to accept.

A major factor in the Russian withdrawal was an economic and public health crisis back home.

Most Turks do not support foreign wars.
a lot of interesting UAV stuff too - Russian anti air stuff has been pawned by Turkish UAVs but Turkish UAVs are being pawned by some Chinese weapons.

#2  Hopefully this interlude is being studied at the US Army War College as a "just say no" moment.

#1  Strategy Page is always worth reading. This is longer than usual though, so perhaps something to read over lunch.
