And a NATO country or not, at what point does a state of war exist? How do we expel Turkey from NATO? How do we extract our troops, contractors, and families from Turkey? When does this start? (Short of Turkey ceasing it's offensive and pulling back troops, I don't see the situation getting better.)
Other thoughts?

This faction of the Kurds, PKK , is certainly no ally either as they are of the communist ilk. They were mercenaries we hired, paid them well, and provided them with arms. So in no way are they allies. Turkey is an ally because of their membership in NATO, but not a trusted ally in any way shape or form. Get the nukes out of there, which President Trump should have done long ago in my opinion. But neither rise to the level of deserving this nation love our blood and treasures defending. That is a given.

I’m betting the Kurds requested this because they and Assad can go full offensive and show Turkey some ME hospitality for its actions in the ME.

Some of us have been pointing this out for years. The situation with Turkey being our NATO partner and the Kurds, at forever war for independence in Turkey, being our bought and paid for soldiers in the ME, is not sustainable.
It might long term be better to have this crisis and sort it out.
