“Russia & the US should jointly do some serious Turkish ass-kicking if they invade/attack our Kurdish allies.”

The threat of that is what stopped the Turks the last time, when they were moving on Manbij. I doubt that the Turks have given up on their objective to push the Kurds back over to the East Bank of the Euphrates - the goal of their original Operation Euphrates Shield.

Recent Turkish statements (through press outlets they control), seem to indicate that they have negotiated the tacit permission of the Russians this time. Maybe that is just in English, for American consumption - I don’t know.
