η ανάδειξη του κουρδικού κινδύνου για την Αγκυρα και η δημιουργία μιας κουρδικής πολεμικής αεροπορίας με την στήριξη των ΗΠΑ και του Ισραήλ που θα επιχειρεί εκτός των ορίων της βόρειας Συρίας και του Ιράκ, αποτελεί έναν πολύ καλό λόγο για την προμήθεια των πυραύλων.
Ο Korybko εστιάζει στις γεωπολιτικές αλλαγές της Μέσης Ανατολής και τις απώλειες των ΗΠΑ στην ευρύτερη περιοχή. Ένα de-facto Κουρδιστάν στη βόρεια Συρία θα ενίσχυε τις διαλυτικές τάσεις εντός Τουρκίας ελέω PKK.
Ο αρθρογράφος υπογραμμίζει την προθυμία των Κούρδων να μετακομίσει τρόπον τινά η ΝΑΤΟϊκή βάση σε έδαφος της Ροζάβα (βόρεια Συρία).
Ωστόσο το ψητό βρίσκεται στην άποψη ότι η Τουρκία δε θα έμπαινε ποτέ στη διαδικασία απόκτησης του συστήματος λόγω Ελλάδας, Αρμενίας, Βουλγαρίας, Κύπρου, Ιράν, Γεωργίας και Συρίας αλλά επειδή οι ΗΠΑ συντόνισαν το πραξικόπημα του 2016 με απώτερο σκοπό να σβήσουν τη γειτονική χώρα από το χάρτη.

In addition, he appears to be much more concerned about the rising Kurdish threat all along his country’s southern periphery as his former US “ally” moves forward with carving a de-facto “second geopolitical ‘Israel’” of “Kurdistan” out of Syria and Iraq. It’s this development, more so than anything else, which is driving Turkey to cooperate even closer with Russia, and it’s very possible that the expedited pace at which the S-400 sale went through is due to the imminent danger posed by what might soon become an American- and “Israeli”-backed “Kurdish Air Force” operating out of northern Syria and Iraq.
One needs to remember that the US is losing its decades-old position in the Mideast, particularly in parts of the Gulf and especially Turkey, and it therefore needs to accommodate for the new geostrategic situation ever since the commencement of Russia’s anti-terrorist operation in Syria almost exactly two years ago. There’s been talk ever since last year’s failed coup against President Erdogan that the US might pull out of its Incirlik base in southern Turkey, and some of the Syrian PYD-YPG Kurds were more than willing to invite it into so-called “Rojava” instead. Furthermore, a de-facto independent “Kurdistan” in northern Syria and Iraq would naturally encourage PKK separatist violence in the regions of southeastern Turkey abutting this polity, and if the Kurds were given or sold aircraft by the US and “Israel” for purported “anti-terrorist” purposes, then it’s foreseeable that these assets could end up being used against the Turkish military instead.
After all, it’s very unlikely that Turkey would risk its relations with the US to buy Russian anti-aircraft missiles just to guard against non-existent threats from the neighboring states of Georgia, Armenia, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Cyprus, Greece, and Bulgaria. It’s more probable, then, that it chose to go ahead with this move because it already accepted that its ties with the US are irreparably ruined ever since last year’s failed pro-American coup attempt and that its former American “ally” is now actively working to erase the country from the map
