Turkey Allows Kurdish Fighters Into Syria

Article Link
Since the formation of The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant better known by ISIS, the country of Turkey has not let the Kurds to use its borders to get into Syria from its northern borders. The fact that the Turkish officials have made this significant step, really helps the outcome of this ongoing war against this terrorist group. Someone has to give some credit to Turkey for their thoughtful action taken in the right path. Now the Kurds can send supplies to the cities that still have war going on in them faster, and more effectively. This really could be a turning point against the ISIS. This reminds of WWII where Persia (Iran) was used by the Allies to get supplies to the USSR southern borders against their war with the Nazi Germany. What do you think? Could Turkey's reaction endanger its territory by the ISIS? Or could it actually change the results of the war between the Kurds and the ISIS?

  1. Because there are so many Syrians in Turkey right now, it makes sense on why Turkey is allowing Kurdish Fighters into Syria. Their reaction can potentially cause danger, but it is for the best for the Turks. If a problem does encounter, I am sure they will find a problem to fix it.

  2. I believe that this could definitely put Turkey at risk due to their involvement in the war. Though I also believe that ISIS has much more to focus on and will put little attention towards Turkey. Though with Turkey's involvement, this can definitely change the tides of the war putting the terrorist group at a disadvantage.

  3. The problem with ISIS is big enough that Turkey can do what it did and have it be worth it. Any steps taken toward putting more forces out there to fight ISIS would probably be helpful. Of course, the goal is to stop the problem with minimal casualties, but sometimes that isn't possible. This could be an instance where the issue is so bad that it will end up getting more people killed or hurt than we would like but it's better than letting ISIS continue to run rampant.
