This is not a good move. The Kurds aren't going away just as the Taliban aren't going away in Afghanistan so any claim that a "safe zone" can be created is complete hogwash. Erdogan will just be drawing Turkey deeper into a conflict which will never be resolved: Another endless war to coin a phrase from Trump.

Erdogan's behaviour leaves the impression that he sees himself as the self proclaimed Sultan of a new Caliphate, picking up where his Ottoman forebears left off: Wreaking havoc in the near/middle east, the Balkans and South East Europe.... until they got their arses handed to them at the gates of Vienna.

Anyway Erdogan has upset the Israelis now and Netanyahu has pledged "humanitarian" assistance to the Kurds so good luck with that down there.
