Idlib Updates: Strawmen, Ridicule and Blood Lust Not Included.
Does it make sense to believe this bombing was some type of warning to Turkey to "end it's ways" As some are suggesting? Perhaps? Or, not. If not, why?

"The threat of a Russia-Turkey-NATO hot war over Idlib is a godsend for US foreign policy"
Absolutely! Yes, it is! A point that's been made over and over and over again here.When the main stream and alt media are frenzied with blood lust at the prospect of a falling out, the hope here has been for diplomacy.
Russia/ Turkey Meetings Outcomes Unknown. Russia and Turkey Bombing One Another? Or Just More Spin?
Disinfohedge (Zero Hedge) and other "alt media" sites are pushing the insinuation about rebels firing on Russian planes- I'm reminded of Winston Churchill's words >>>Disnfo Hedge- always a body guard to lies in service of liars/warmongers and regional reshapers.But, I digress..........Very, very obviously Turkey and Russia are seriously attempting to work out some sort of arrangement regarding Idlib as talks contin

“The Limits of Relying on Disagreement Between Moscow, Ankara”
If you prefer irrationality, (the quality of being illogical or unreasonable) which is bizarre (strange or unusual), this is not the oped for you. So much of the information in the oped has been covered here for many years. Including Turkey's cooperation with Syria and Russia to clear Aleppo city, back in 2016... Yup, there are a number of reports covering that reality here at PFYT's. They will be relinked. Sane non sensational oped from aawsat @ Akram Bunni
Idlib Media Coverage Hyper Inflated To Prep For US Intervention In Syria?
It's not at all clear if fighting has really intensified, since fighting has been consistent in Idlib for years now. How would the intensity be quantified? It can't be and that's why the 'chicken little' approach to covering Idlib has been avoided here. Much more likely is that media coverage has been hyper exaggerated to excuse (seek to defend or justify) a US intervention. Now that I can vouch for.
