GAZIANTEP, Turkey—Over the last several days Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has pulled out all the stops to try to deal with rapidly worsening situation in Syria. He has mounted a campaign to exert maximum pressure on his two purported allies, the adversaries Russia and the United States, and through the Americans, NATO and the European Union. But this very complicated game board no longer resembles a chess match. It’s more like tic-tac-toe, a contest of blocked options where, in the end, nobody wins.
