Will the turks do anything stupid?...

Turkey issues warning to coalition

Turkey’s Prime Minister said his country will respond if the offensive to recapture Raqqa poses a security threat to Turkey.

In an address to legislators from his ruling party, Binali Yildirim again criticized the United States for launching the Raqqa offensive with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces.

NATO member Turkey considers the Kurdish fighters within the SDF terrorists because of their links to outlawed Kurdish rebels in Turkey and had opposed their involvement in the operation.

“To support terror organisations does not suit (our) alliance,” Prime Minister Yildirim said.
“We will immediately give the necessary response if we come across a situation in Raqqa or any other point in the region that threatens our security.”

Turkey is painting itself in a corner. Gulf oil money will no longer pay for his nonsense. It is evidenced on how SA and others reacted to Trumps Middle East trip.

Erdogan will wind up having few allies left.

If he goes totally off the reservation, I suspect he might be surprised about he response. Trump is not Obama.

And almost all of Trump’s allies (outside NATO) are Terrorists. Men who live in glass houses should be careful of where they throw rocks.
