The US is training the Peshmerga to be a professional army. The Kurds are going to want a lot of autonomy, like total autonomy when this is over. Lots of what they'd call Kurdistan is in Turkey. What's going to happen when the Pesmerga decide to free Turkish Kurds to join their new nation? Turkey's in NATO, so would there be obligations to defend them? Turkey's already being way too kind to ISIS fighters, so it's probably inevitable the fighting spills over into Turkey. Then the US will have obligations to both sides.
Obama's policy isn't to not fight wars. It's to pay others to fight the wars his globalist masters want. I guess the narcissist-in-chief thinks that the globalist wars are okay if someone else fights for him. It hasn't worked real well in Egypt, Libya, and Syria because those who fought the wars don't want to cede power when they've served their purpose.
Bottom line...this mess happened because Obama armed, trained, and financed others to fight his wars. And what he wants to do is more of that. It's insane.
I can't see how Zero wouldn't jump at the opportunity to let the media suck us into a fight that ends up with the dissolution of NATO.
Yeah, it's a BIG chunk. I looked at it on a map last evening and was a little shocked. No wonder the Turks are concerned.
It can be managed, I think, because it has in the past, but not with the Turkish government leaning increasingly toward Islamism. Something is going to have to give, and it might be Turkey's NATO membership, which would be a strategic change of the first order given Putin's clear desire for an open route to the Mediterranean. We've only been squabbling over the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles for about 2500 years now...
