Turkey Invades Syria

We aren't the World's Police Department, it isn't our fault that they want to kill each other the minute we aren't willing to stop it and we are under no obligation to do so. 1. Did we have an agreement with the Kurds? I haven't seen any discussion of a formal agreement from anyone. 2. We didn't have a significant force remaining in Syria. It was not enough to stop the Turks from taking the land they took had we stayed. Maybe the presence of Americans there would have kept Turkey from moving in, but maybe not. Turkey is a NATO ally. It's not like we can just go to war with them. What is our responsibility if a NATO ally says they are going to move into an area? I don't think we can just say we're not budging and will retaliate if you don't stand down. Is there a clause in the NATO pact that deals with this situation? 3. "10,000 soldiers ... so we didn't have to"? The Kurds were one of the targets of ISIS. Had the US not been involved, the Kurds would have lost far more than 10,000 soldiers, not to mention women and children. The US fight against ISIS was to their benefit more so than to our benefit.
