isn't that called a " Quagmire " aka an awkward , complex or hazardous situation! Russia with Syriac Iran with Turkey beach other and then you have Isis/ AQ / PLO and a whole lot of other bad actors incl a 200 yr battle between Kurdish militia and Turks
throw in all the crazies who joined these groups from 100 other countries
maybe it's not a quagmire but a clusterf@ck better left to the locals for their best try
