#1 I do not believe Turkey should be in NATO.
#2 Turkey is not an Ally in any meaningful sense of the word.
#3 Our opportunity should be to establish Kurdistan on the map which will be much more helpful to our interests in the area.
US troops in Kurdish uniform may be targeted by Olive Branch forces – Turkish Deputy PM

US troops fighting alongside Syrian Kurdish militias in the same uniform may be targeted by the Turkish army due to the difficulty of distinguishing them in the heat of battle, Turkey’s Deputy PM has warned.
The unambiguous warning comes at a time when Turkish troops are making further advances into the Kurdish-held Syrian province of Afrin as part of ‘Operation Olive Branch’. Previously, Ankara complained that the American troops’ embedding with Kurdish militias – regarded as terrorists in Turkey – is unacceptable for the US-Turkish alliance

If this keeps up it's just a matter of when in my opinion
But in all honesty I guarantee that If US servicemen get killed our government will just bury it without the public knowing to avoid war.
The coalition said the strikes were carried out after forces allied to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad "initiated an unprovoked attack" against a well-established Syrian Democratic Forces headquarters where coalition advisers were working with US-backed Syrian fighters.
The official added that it was unclear exactly who the pro-regime forces were but the US is looking into whether Russian contractors operating in the vicinity might have been involved but added that there is no direct evidence yet that the Russians fired on the Syrian Democratic Forces facility where the US advisers were located. The official said they have not ruled out that Iranian backed-forces might have also been involved in the attack.
Well that sounds quite intenseU.S. counter-attack in Syria included Air Force AC-130 gunships, F-15s, F-22s, Army Apache helicopter gunships and Marine Corps artillery killing 100 Russian and Assad-backed fighters in 3-hour battle beginning around midnight last night.
I"m sorry but the parts that I bolded and underscored are just not believable to me. This shit stinks of complete bullshit. Anyone with a brain can see what were doing here. Make believe scenarios to justify us staying in Syria (even further) and allowing us even a bigger bone to pick by saying Assad and Russia (possibly) attacked us.
An initiated and unprovoked attack is the last thing in the world Syria and Assad would want to do. Assad is looking for more reasons as to not have us in his country. Why in the world would he let this gift wrap in perfection happen. And russian contractors? Give me a break.
The drums of warmongering must continue to beat loud and hard! I mean after all, we have this nifty 700 billion plus military budget to justify
Our new strategy outline for Syria now is to;not sure where this is headed, because isis is basically done (as trump said multiple times), so what's the reason for staying there?
with turkeys major involvement now the opposition will basically break apart.
