Time to return to the same topic we covered here last week – Turkey. She is expanding her entanglements in her near abroad that, because of our alliance with them and the relationship we have with her neighbors, should be a concern to all.
Outside a few shrinking intellectual islands, there are very few areas in the natsec nomenklatura that still hold on to the discredited habits that brought us in to unending wars in Central Asia and the Middle East. They still exist – you can see them pop up now and again regarding Syria, Libya, even Venezuela, but mostly they have retreated from respectful company and proper chatterati salons.
