**This is a very interesting perspective. Much of it makes sense to me.**

**I’m not saying it’s correct. I’m saying Alex Krainer makes some very, very good points regarding the interactions between nations, particularly Turkey. Which, as Alex points out Turkey and Russia have some very serious deals between them. Pipelines, nuclear power plants etc., Iran has had some substantive dealings with Turkey as well. There are so many nuances. So many shades of grey in this situation- This interview does a good job of sussing them out.**

**Thanks Rachel! I agree a lot of this makes sense 🙂**
