Not
Our
Fight...
As a NATO member, we are obligated by treaty to defend Turkey if they are attacked.
If Turkey promised to eliminate the ISIS prisoners with extreme prejudice so be it. Why are there ISIS prisoners. They are serial killing fiends incompatible with peace. Destroy them, families included. Send message to Muslims interested in a caliphate.
Sure. But maybe Turkey wants to keep them corraled, miserably, to threaten to release on the EU unless certain concessions are made.
No, not if Turkey initiated the attack. It doesn’t work like that.
Also, we are no obligated to ever go to war over Article 5. We are obligated to take whatever action we “deem necessary”. That can include armed force, but it can also include a phone call....or nothing.
“Article 5
The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.”
No U.S. troops have been withdrawn yet..............
But not when they attack others.
The time approaches. Personally, I think that one happens before the Tribulation. LaHaye thought it was just before.
Hard to tell. Though I doubt Israel will be burning weapons during the Great Tribulation.
Time will tell. Time will tell.
I don't believe they've promised to do anything about the ISIS prisoners, including keeping them penned up.
Multiple civilians are murdered in Chicago every week, and nobody cares. Why does this matter? It’s not even in our own country.
YAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNN
Oh and hope Fox News CHOKES... even more than they're choking now.
Unless you want to take on Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria to carve out a country for the Kurds, there’s no reason for us to remain there.
As a NATO member, we are obligated by treaty to defend Turkey if they are attacked.

***********************************
And CERTAINLY not when somebody Turkey attacked counterattacks Turkey. And that couldn’t happen to more deserving people than the Erdogan Turks.
WRONG.
If you abandon your allies, you will soon have none left.
The Turks are pigs and savages and Erdogan is a NAZI.
They will murder, rape, behead, crucify and hang every Kurd
they get their hands on as they did to the Armenians. Greeks, and Christian minority tjete.
If Turkey promised to eliminate the ISIS prisoners with extreme prejudice so be it. Why are there ISIS prisoners. They are serial killing fiends incompatible with peace. Destroy them, families included. Send message to Muslims interested in a caliphate.

You don’t get it. Erdogan intends to “ethnically cleanse” the area of Kurds and replace them with Sunni Muslim Islamists. Take THAT to the bank.
You mean like the entire country of South Vietnam?
