I couldn't find a thread about Turkish problems with the Kurds so here's the start of a real war brewing right under our noses.
I point to this article for it's truth that Turkey is on the path to destruction, plus with a National Election coming up for President Trump we will be caught in the middle of a Kurdish oil field stand off.
Remember how the democrats cried last year "Oh we should defend out Kurdish friends for helping us win the Iraq war."
So what would Biden say if war should break out over a Kurdish/Turkey/Syrian/Russian/USA conflict before the election?
Yes, I say war drums are beating that could include US armed forces caught in the middle against Russian armed forces protecting Syria and supposedly friends with Turkey and on top of that the Kurds have been seen in recent days conferring with Russia for assistance.

As Turkey’s economy teeters, Erdoğan has become increasingly belligerent toward his neighbors. Bombing Iraq—especially the largely Yazidi Sinjar area—has become a frequent occurrence. Turkey airlifted Islamic State veterans to Libya and has violated Libya’s arms embargo multiple times. Turkey justified its invasion of northern and eastern Syria as creating a safe-haven but, in reality, it has instead become a zone for anti-Kurdish ethnic cleansing.
Now Erdoğan is threatening Greece. “When the moment for a decision comes, and I say this clearly, those who stand against Turkey at the expense of jeopardizing the security and prosperity of its citizens, have to pay a heavy price,” Erdoğan said on September 7. Mesut Hakkı Caşın, a close Erdoğan advisor, threatened, “Our pilots will soon shoot down five or six of them [Greek warplanes] and we will enter into a war.” He suggested Turks would then bayonet the pilots.
