If we insist on supporting this latest attempt to build a large independent Kurdish State on the ruins of ISIS because the NEOCONS want us to do so, we risk all out war with the Turks. The Turks regard the emerging Kurdish force as an existential threat.
We would face a mobilized Turkish Nation backed by Russia and Iran. We would no longer face weak insurgents without air forces, air defenses or armies. Moreover, the American electorate will protest such action arguing that we have no strategic interest in Syria or Iraq that would justify a commitment to war.
Finally, we are not prepared for this development and Americans won't support it. This may well be the proverbial straw that will break the back of America's overstretched military power.
