Macron and Trump can't do much. EU sanctions will have negative utility as they're worthless, will be viewed as an act of war by Turkey, and will only add fuel to the fire of an already strained relationship with Turkey. Perhaps Macron and Trump can pound sand. As for Putin, he won't do anything. At least this is my take. I'm w bit puzzled as to why anyone even bothers.
