Amazing how some of the people on here are crying over this. We cannot solve all the worlds problems nor protect everyone from bad things happening. There has to be an endstate, period.

Their response is to wait for the response of the US.

They will keep there collective pie hole shut.
Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has threatened to send "millions" of Syrian refugees to Europe in response to criticism of his military offensive into Kurdish-controlled northern Syria.
Speaking to his party, Mr Erdogan said Turkish forces had killed 109 "militants" since the operation began on Wednesday, and warned he would "open the doors" to spark a new refugee crisis in Europe if the EU called it an "invasion."
"Hey EU, wake up. I say it again: if you try to frame our operation there as an invasion, our task is simple: we will open the doors and send 3.6 million migrants to you," he said.

The EU has "urged" Turkey to halt the invasion, to which Erdogan responded that he would release the refugees within his borders to Europe, which is a pretty strong negotiating position, given the EU's complete inability to deal with the refugee crisis of 2014.
Anti-Syrian sentiment in Turkey is significant, as the country has 3.5 million registered refugees, which accounts for more than half of the world's total population of refugees (not migrants, which is an entirely different issue). Erdogan's party suffered a loss in the Istanbul mayoral elections based partly on xenophobia driven by the influx of Syrians into the country. On the night of the CHP's win (Republican People's Party) the hashtag "Syrians are fricking off" trended on Turkish twitter. The new mayor, Ekrem Imamoglu, even complained of all the Arabic signs he sees in some of Istanbul's districts.
There are multiple reasons for the invasion, and the EU can't do anything, as Erdogan, who is a fairly astute politician, can use the agreement he made with the EU to house refugees against them, which is the ultimate trump card.

Wow, if they had any balls and conviction, they'd call it an invasion and be ecstatic about the influx of diversity.

Third option: we spend a lot of blood and treasure on creating Kurdistan, because some of them helped us/we helped them fighting against ISIS (despite the fact that we played a large part in their creation via arming "moderate" "rebels" in Syria and destabilizing Iraq).
KURDISH SOVEREIGNTY NOW AT ANY COST

I listen to Savage and Levin every afternoon/evening, they're both disappointed that Trump pulled those 50-100 soldiers out of the region, they believe the Kurds deserve protection after being a good friend and ally to the US.....It appears the US forces in that border region were being used as human shields to keep the Turks from moving in on the Kurds, if that's what they were being used for why didn't Trump tell Turkey if you move against the Kurds we will respond with overwhelming air strikes and strong arm the UN to place crippling economic sanctions on Turkey?
Would it be wrong for the US to mass evacuate as many of the Kurds as possible out of the region? Probably not going to happen, I believe the Kurds would rather die than leave their ancestral homelands.

So your saying going to war with Turkey is the only answer.

Creating a landlocked ethnostate that would take land, in an ideal situation, from 4 states in West Asia, would ensure instability in the region for another century.
It is curious that the notion of a Kurdistani state is taken somewhat seriously, but not the notion of a pan-Iranian (which would include the Kurds, as they are an Iranian people despite where they live) or a pan-Turkic state, both of whom have ethnically related groups that outnumber other ethnic groups in the region by a large margin.
One curious circumstance of the hands-off approach of Muslim polities in general is that there were fewer population transfers that eventually gave Europe its ethnic homogeneity in general. The Ottomans did participate in lots of population transfers, but mainly with Christians or non-Muslims, accepting Muslims from Russia and the Balkans in return.
