I’m not saying Trump did or did not do the right thing. I think the consequences of Turkish aggression is our new challenge. And, yes, I think our NATO alliance is now faced with what to do with Turkey. It bothers me, too, to see the Kurds tossed into Assad’s hands. Just when it appeared things might be calming in region, everything is stirred up and Turkey goes on a killing rampage into Syria. I don’t see how greenlighting this, allowing it, stepping aside for it, or whatever helps us. Being “surprised” is even worse.

So you think we should have sent armor to fight Turkey, because that is what it would have taken to stop it? I don’t think Kurds are worth our soldiers dying for and eventually the Kurds would have had to make a deal with Assad anyways. What I haven’t seen talked about much is the possibility that this may end up with Turkey getting their butts kicked back across their border. You just never know how these muslim v. muslim wars will end up. I think it will shake out one way or another and it’s really not our concern any way it goes.

Our alliance has been faced with what to do with Turkey and we have sat on our hands since 1973. This latest is a tiny blip compared to past Turkish actions.

I still recommend negotiating new alliances and then pulling the plug altogether on NATO.
