Turkey's Resurgence

In its pursuit of Syria's Kurds, Ankara may bypass Washington's objections at the risk of paying a heavy economic price.

Turkey's president has a tried-and-tested formula for dealing with challenges to his rule. Whether it will succeed against a new threat to his dominance is another question.

Larger issues between Ankara and Washington could be playing into the Turkish strategy, which doesn't necessarily forebode an incursion.

Sanctions threats from the EU and the U.S., coupled with the president's move to assert control over the central bank, signal that pressure on the Turkish economy could soon ramp up.

By pledging to take delivery of Russia's S-400 missile system, Ankara is suggesting it's ready to bear the consequences of any U.S. blowback.
