From Vox:
What makes it so ominous is that it doesn’t seem clear how either side backs down from this,” Danforth says. ( Nick Danforth, a senior policy analyst focused on Turkey at the Bipartisan Policy Center). “For Erdoğan domestically, so much of his persona and political identity is being a strong leader who stands up to the West.”
Trump also hates the idea of looking weak, or like he's buckled to a foreign leader. And so there’s good reason to believe this crisis likely won't end anytime soon.
