"To highlight the complexity of this war, there is now a NATO ally, Turkey, bombing a group that the US calls its best ally when it was fighting ISIL on the ground and still continues to do so - so it's an incredibly complicated situation."

YOUR troops !!!!!!!! Australia might well be a wonderful country but CYPRUS is MILES ahead.
That's RIGHT MALAKA!
It's a NATO ally. I'm not sure what success they are achieving but it doesn't sound like they getting anywhere at the time being. But this isn't the movies and the Coalition isn't going to attack the Turkish Military just yet. But we will arm the Kurds and even train them and they are holding their ground. The Turks are losing soldiers and the kurds even shot down a helicopter just the other day.
Meanwhile, REX Tillerson is due to visit Ankara next week. Why would the Coalition attack them and provoke the situation further. Do you believe that is a smart thing to do? What would be the consequences for the meeting and NATO? Don't get me wrong, I would love to see the Coalition go all out against Turkey but I am not in charge and that isn't a terribly bright thing to do either. The Americans are handling it the right way - by meeting with Erdogan. There are other ways to pressure Erdogan. things like embargoes, or isolation with the EU and NATO members. There are many things at their disposal. They don't need a war with Turkey.
We will see what Turkey has to say for itself next week when the meet TIllerson. The Trump Administration isn't the kind that will take any nonsense from Turkey but going all Rambo isn't the right thing to do either. I would love to see Turkey out of NATO, but that is also a very bad thing for Cyprus and Greece because NATO acts like a pacifier.

OK so Cyprus is a better country, but I prefer to live in Australia than an island that is one seventh the size of Tasmania. And I do't mean to brag, but Australia is probably the best country in the world.
