What even happens to NATO if Turkey frags a bunch of are troops? Do we actually article 5 them? Would the GOP actually crack enough from the neocon movement to move against Trump?

Israel did that and nothing happened.

The diplomats do some kabuki theater where each side gets appropriately mad, potentially with meaningless threats, then once the news cycle moves on, it's business as usual until the next time.

This is the same thing that happened when trump said they were gonna pull out all the troops from syria (everyone just ignored him) so im thinking either the military still has an agreement to use kurdistan as an iran invasion threat, or is drafting an agreement with turkey to use invaded kurdistan as an iran invasion threat

my guess is theres some sort of quiet agreement on how much land turkey will actually occupy, like a buffer along the border, but not actually seize all of SDF territory.

this benefits everyone but the kurds. US still has a base of operations, turks can kick out the kurds from their occupied territory without having to actually try and govern them, assad doesnt have to deal with a million kurdish refugees.

How many US officials and federal politicians realize that the Kurds aren't a unified political bloc and that the KRG in Iraq is actually pretty friendly with Turkey?

Not disputing, but I'm having a hard time seeing how this benefits Assad. Isn't his next fight going to be against the Turkey-backed militias on the northern border? Isn't Turkey gonna be conquering land that Assad is going to want to control, whether he takes it from the Kurds or from Turkey?

I don't think Turkey limiting their invasion of NE Syria to a "buffer" benefits Assad, but it certainly isn't the almost existential threat to the government that a Turkish conquest of the whole region would be.

I have no clue what Pat Robertson's angle is in this, and the only thing I can figure is that the Kurds have been selling oil to Israel.

i'm convinced many US elites either believe the YPG is the same as the Israel flag waving Barzani supporters from the KRG. The smarter officials probably did have a long term plan to bribe the opportunists in the YPG with gulf money and transition the whole region to a neoliberal client state friendly to Israel.
