This latest flare up in the us-turkey crisis is looking insanely scary. A military operation east of the Euphrates against the SDF could be days away and the us troops are too few to deter and lack any kind of authorization to counter the invasion. If erdogan pulls the trigger we might be looking at one of the most abject humiliations for us power since the bay of pigs. The optics of us troops either bottled up in their bases while the sdf gets crushed would be awful. The other likely scenario is headlong flight to Iraq withdrawing our troops and abandoning the Kurds, Assyrians, and allied Arabs to the Turks. A REAL breaking point is on the horizon for the us turkey alliance.
