Fighting against Turkey would not be wise. “

Since Turkey and US are both members of NATO, wouldn’t fighting Turkey be like fighting Britain France or any other NATO ally? Totally self-contradictory?

I don’t think Turkey is just like Britain or France. For one thing: Turkey is muslim.

So are the Kurds. We’ve helped them more than anyone.

For them to complain now is absurd.

They should be thanking us.

Profusely.

No, fighting Turkey would be a return to sanity.
Turkey should have been booted from NATO in 1973, or the United States should have left.

Maybe. Erdogan is not much of an ally. Turkey has their borders to worry about as do the Kurds. Since the Kurds are not NATO would you suggest we ally with Turkey versus the Kurds? It's a no win.
