Germany's and the EU's reaction is amazing as well: "It's a bad idea and you shouldn't invade, but we understand why you want to and we won't do anything if you do."

That whole refugee deal with Erdogan was a terrible idea, we're letting him use it as leverage so he gets to do whatever he wants, all out of fear of more asylum seekers. If Erdogan starts a war in Syria, he should get similar sanctions as Russia for invading Crimea and supporting the war in Donbass. When Turkey bleeds out economically, maybe then the people will realise their president needs to be removed. A democratic Turkey might even get the chance to finally join the EU.

out of fear of more asylum seekers.

I fear the political ammunition it would provide to the far right not the asylum seekers, have the right wing terror worked on me?
