Allies of necessity (Russia-Turkey) meet again, today, after two rounds of talks in Ankara on the situation in Idlib failed, where they were unable to reach understandings.

Tensions between the regime, with Russian support on the one hand and Turkey and its mercenaries on the other, about the Syrian regime forces launching an attack on Idlib and Aleppo countryside, during which Turkish soldiers had been killed.

Previous Russian-Turkish talks have failed because of Turkish attempts to stop regime attacks by supporting mercenaries with weapons and equipment.

Now the two sides meet and the map changed the field on the ground, where the Turkish delegation goes with it big losses and its pain is free of the leaves of power, where he lost Ma'rat al-Numan and Saraqib and most importantly control of international roads, and is no longer able to threaten Aleppo again after the regime managed yesterday to secure it.

The Turks' pocket is free of leaves of power.

The Turks also go to Russia without any support from their NATO allies, following U.S. and Western statements.

The most important is the statements of US National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien, who confirmed that his country does not intend to play the role of policeman in Idlib.

O'Brien continued: "Are we supposed to parachute there, as a policeman to the world to set up a stop sign, to instruct Turkey not to do this, and Russia not to do the other thing?"

He said "The situation in Idlib is very bad, al-Assad is a very bad player, so are the Iranians, and the steps that Turkey and Russia are taking are not improving the situation there".

In addition, French President Emmanuel Macron said that France agrees with Russia that the situation in Idlib is unacceptable.

Turkish disappointment with the Allies, apparently prompted them to return humiliatingly to the Russian, and as everyone entrusted Turkey in its dealings with the great powers mobilizing and then slowly was ceded.

Moscow says as for Russia, it receives the Turkish delegation, and it has achieved what it wants, as it has been able to open international roads and implementation the agreements that Turkey has been mandated to implement.

Now the Turks have left to cede to Russia despite the threats, and we saw the contours of it seemed on the ground, where Russia deployed its troops on the international road "M5", and the regime forces advanced in Aleppo countryside without fighting.
