re: Turkey begins invasion of Kurdish held northeast Syria

I won’t pretend to know enough to judge whether this is a good or bad decision. One observation: in my lifetime, it seems like whoever we try to help in that part of the world (Iraq vs Iran, mujahideen/taliban vs USSR) comes back to try to frick us a decade or two later. At some point, we have to question what difference our presence actually makes in the long term.
