...in effect Trump has placed himself in the very middle of Syrian affairs with his tweet, giving Turkey's Erdogan the 'green light' to go it alone, in Syria.

This is personal, a phone call and an agreement, as Men.

While Trump's act is shocking, it is meant to be; he has Turkey cornered. Thousands of lives are in the balance (if not millions), one hopes in the grander scheme of things Erdogan will deliver Peace, to the Eastern Mediterranean, (and the Aegean), all his neighbours, with which at present there is only his disruptions of the balance of power as they are. And if not, America, with its power, alone, can defeat him.

This will weigh on him, Erdogan, at present has an invitation to the White House, but the truth is, he must deliver to Trump his tribute, by making him look good, and by doing 'good'  not just as a Leader, but a Statesman.

...it is the Treaty of Lausanne, that has been "tossed out a window" let's not forget.
