    Not a first, of course.

    Remember the end of Gulf War 1? We abandoned our "partners" in Iraq then, exposing them to retribution from Hussein's government.

    As usual, we only honor our commitments when we feel like it.

    There's no telling where this might end. Faced with an existential threat, the various Kurdish groups may well come together, and carve out their nation of Kurdistan. They may even find that they can do the equivalent of Israel's Six Day War. OK, I'm not betting ona Six Day War, but I can hope. Erdogan needs a good ass whipping, IMHO. A good assassination would be even better.
