The USA wants to have contingencies within Iraq to lead simpletons and win back the ground Iraq and Syria lost to Daesh.
The USA has to have a contingency to lead Turkey. This is going to happen over and over simply because Turkey is in an "OMG the border! stupidity.
I apologize to Russia. This is outrageous. There is absolutely no reason for this, but, then all the activities by the Turkish military and political leaders have been bizarre since Syria became incredibly unstable. There needs to be a contingency from the USA AND RUSSIA to direct Turkey's activities at the border.
Russia is a valuable partner in this struggle. Russia is an ally with Assad and Iran. We can't do this without them.
Station USA and Russia jets in Turkey along side of Turkish jets. It is the only way Turkish commanders will understand this. The hatred of Kurdistan is no different than the hate Israel has for Palestine. Turkey sees an opportunity to advance it's push against the Kurds and anything other than that will be a chronic problem. Puts jets of coalition members, including Russia, on the tamarac of a Turkey military instillation.
Everything Turkey has done to damage the stability of Syria during this entire time is opportunistic. It has nothing to do with the priorities of NATO or the USA's interventions in the region.
Amazing.
