If Turkey attacks the Kurds, kick them out of NATO, shut down Incirlik, kill all their trade deals, levy massive sanctions on their assets, and start drawing up target packages. Simple as that.

This has got to be the first ever post I agree with you on.
IT's both. The reality is there is no good solutions here. The Turks are a longtime Nato ally, the Kurds have been our ally as well but have been fighting a revolt against the Turks, including what we would consider terrorist acts in Turkey. If we stay, how long do we stay? Months, years, decades, they have been fighting for centuries. How long would it be until Kurds who are being protected by us in Syria slip over the border into Turkey and blowup some women and children? They need to solve their own problems, we can try to mediate but if they insist at shooting at each other the worst thing we can do is step into the middle of it. Enough of our blood and treasure has been spent on interfering with people who have hated each other for centuries. No clean good solution here, its all ugly.
I agree. There were no good solutions here. Obama handed Trump a turd sandwich in Syria. We all know Trump can hardly keep a regular sandwich from turning into a turd, much less reverse the process.
Why is it being a 'warhawk' to help and protect a population of people whose troops have risked their lives to help the USA?
Is this how you treat your friends? Or is this just another excuse to deflect from Trump's immorality and attempt to insult President Obama at the same time?
Trump was all for the Iraq War...until the wind blew another way. Was going to drop some bombs on Iran until defense advisors Ingraham and Carlson told him it was a bad idea for re-election. And he's Freddy at the Ready to send troops to fight for the Saudis who attacked us on 9/11.
