** 11-Feb-2020 World View: Erdogan's threat
Well, maybe. But Erdogan still retains a big threat over Europe. If
Erdogan is forced to open the border to a million Syrian refugees
from Idlib, then a lot of them would go on to Europe -- which is where
they really want to go. That's potentially a political disaster for
the EU. So the EU has plenty at stake in the Idlib war.
