This is complicated.  How much of this overall situation been complicated by Western meddling into the political system of the region? &  NATO members have been riding on the United States back for 40 years so really NATO is only a mechanism to get America into a war. So it really comes down to what Mr. Trump wants to do.  Trump will not blindly enter a war because the dangerous present government of  Turkey comes to the trough. Also, funny how liberals spend decades cutting our military to the bone and calling it unnecessary but then suddenly take such an interest in the application of it (as if it was fertilizer to spread around).
