The cost to America to keep Turkey out was nothing, in the grand scheme of things. I don't see the inevitability at all.

So Trump created an international crisis to distract from his interior one. No other way to possibly parse this. Hopefully he hosed himself on both fronts though because no one is defending this poo poo.

It appears that literally no one on any side knows what the gently caress is going on on the ground. US troops are in some areas still denying Turkish use of airspace, other places are being reported as bombed but actually aren’t, the Department of Defense has absolutely no plan for what to do and are scrambling to get a clear picture on what’s happening and Turkey is moving forward as fast as possible without any rhyme or reason to try and get ahead of any backtracking by Trump.

Trump just created an international disaster entirely of his own making without so much as consulting anyone besides maybe Jared Kushner.

Is this about right?

Well he's claiming he consulted everyone which means he consulted no one.

Why are you even asking like there’s a real poll he’s referring to? The shithead literally fired all of his internal pollsters a few months ago because they were displeasing him and whoever he has now is full on Emperors New Clothes.

the cost to America/Turkey relations would be significantly larger than nothing, unfortunately. they really want that territory, and they really want to be able to Demographically Correct (tm) the local population. we had an excuse to keep them around while they were our attack dogs against ISIS, but now that excuse is wearing a little thin.

recall the Gospel according to Schumer: throwing minorities in concentration camps is a small price to pay, to stay on cordial terms with the people who want them dead.

it is a monstrous thing that should not happen, and that it is happening now, and in this way, is the worst possible way for it to happen.

but the united states does not deploy soldiers on moral grounds.

if it's like the polls they showed him when someone leaked all of his internal polls showing him down by double digits in every key state, they're "messaging polls" i.e. "if i told you that reliable reports have indicated that joe biden is corrupt and that trump is awesome, how likely is it you would vote for trump?"

they're basically push polls but you use them to see which message does best, but they basically brought the results of those to him and told him no see this is what the polls say

this is the bill coming due a little ahead of schedule, but sooner or later the Kurds were going to pay the price for thinking we'd reward our friends.

US policy towards Kurds has been to let our allies do what they want within their own borders to them. I'm pretty sure giving an ally cover to invade a neighboring country in order to ethnically cleanse Kurds across the border is a new one.*

*With regards to Kurds specifically. I'm well aware we've given cover to commit cross-border genocide many other times.

Good news, there is literally no way that Trump would take the time and effort needed to write even a single letter to any of them, he's just saying that. There is a 95% chance he used whatever he was supposed to write/sign as a placemate for his McDonald's burger, and a 5% chance he just signed his name over a random page from the service folder and then had that mailed to them.
