Flinten-Uschi calls her boys back …. The best thing she can do.

Unfortunately it is not bringing her boys back but a relocation of NATO in the ME. If the situation keeps developing as we are seeing on the Syrian / Iraq border don’t be surprised if Daesh and all its affiliates and supporters are driven west through the 2 US bases in SE Syria back into Jordan from whence it came including US special forces. This will not be good for Jordan but if you live by the sword of Imperialist you will die by the same sword.

Good. It will help Turkey distancing itself from NATO. Eventually it may lead to Turkey leaving NATO altogether.
