I see this as a very unlikely scenario, however it is possible.

I'm not a big fan of Erdoghan atm but one should always keep in mind that Turkey is currently a member of NATO.

Granted, an untrustworthy member in my estimation and one who is currently cosying up to Putin and therefore happy to be in two camps at the same time.

I should imagine it would take a Turkish aircraft to fire first before a western/US military return of fire would occur and the whole area is a big enough mess without adding further to it.

As you so rightly say, it is unlikely but still possible.

Stumbled over this, had the feeling this reminds me of a previous debate here...

Assad forces have retaken Darayya after a four-year siege.

Hopefully this will end the slaughter of defenceless innocent children.

This is nothing more than an idea I have had for a while.

About the ongoing civil war in Syria and the Turkish-Kurd problem(s)

First a ceasefire for the entire Syria, not only some part of it, but all of it is needed before next step can be done.(this is one of the hardest part)

When this ceasefire is a reality-Assad shall, under UN and some neutral states control, make a real election-Every fighting part of this civil war shall accept that there is an election and they shall recognize the people's choice

When this is done I recognize a majority of the voters have voted against Assad.

Next step-get Assad to recognize the result and step down. I think he need to get into exile-Iran could be a good choice.(this part is the hardest of them all)

Next step is to get the other groups to maintain the ceasefire, when though they didn't get what they hoped for in this election.

The goal is to create a Government with members from every part of the Syrian population there is, Shia, Sunni, Kurds, a.s.o

The Kurds

Here our diplomats and other politicians from Europe and USA are going on a hard job-convinced Turkey, Iraq, Iran and some other countries to give some of their land to the Kurds so they can have their own country.

Nothing but an idea, which I know if filled with holes

Taliban attack on courthouse in Pakistan

After watching this video through, after asking for and getting advice from staff here, and a bit of thinking, I decided this video can be linked up.

This is a team of Al Jazeera journalists/camera crew getting access to the Afghan Taliban and ISIS, and gives a rare, and harrowing, glimpse of what is going on there, the 3 part conflict between Government, Taliban and ISIS, with the civilians caught in the middle.

Warning: Although this video does not show any injuries or deaths, and is within the forum rules as I understand them, it still contain disturbing segments like how very young children are brain washed, and prisoners before their execution. Viewer's discretion adviced.

That being said, it is an important report that shows what life is like there, seen from 4 sides, the Govt, the Taliban, ISIS and the civilians. Especially disturbing to me was watching how ruined young children became under ISIS. An interview with 2 young teenagers was revealing. They both were prepared for suicide missions but they both could not look the reporter in his eyes, their eyes looking away or at the ground, their feet never resting and them parroting phrases that had been repeated over and over again. It was a tough watch. This is the "home front" ISIS

Possible false alarm. Operation seems to have ended. But this news not confirmed. Affected districts partly were evacuated, public panic.

Russians attacking Assad's forces? So, it's all against all for real then? This should be interesting, in a bizarre sense. Next, French fighters attacking their own soup stations. Fresh from the Beeb
"US-led coalition air strikes have killed at least 62 Syrian troops fighting so-called Islamic State in the east, the Russian military says."

Confusion is still the order of the day.
