His long range goal is to recreate on some level Turkish dominance of the region and Sunni Islam that was lost with the dismantling of the Ottoman Empire following WWI. Assad is a client of Iran and Russia. The roots of Turkish enmity with both are centuries deep.
If this adventure puts Turkey neck deep in s#!+ and they try to invoke the NATO treaty things could get interesting very quickly.

NATO acts like a dog collar on Erdogan, if he were to be booted out of NATO for starting a limited war with the Russians, he could do what ever he wants.

Caliphate, with Himself as Caliph. Obama did say Erdogen is his favorite leader.
