Thanks for the ping. This article really brings it all together in a way that lets even those unfamiliar with Turkey (like me) understand why Turkey has recently behaved the way they have. Unfortunately, when it comes to geopolitics, loyalty costs money and soldiers, so it's hard to stay loyal to anything but the actual mission.

I've got a better understanding now of Turkey's fears about the Kurds.

But, "a_Turk", how did Turkey help itself by forcing the US to turn for help from the very group the're afraid of? Who stands a better chance of coming out of this war a closer friend of America...the Turks or the Kurds?

I still don't know what Turkey's thought process was...or is.
