Air Power Destabilizes Again

America's Dangerous Bargain With Turkey is trading a Kurdish alliance for an air base near the border with Syria. It's a tactic that would not be supported by a grand strategy to pacify the region, rather it does the opposite.  As usual in the Middle East the U.S. get the "friend of an enemy is my enemy and the enemy of my enemy is my friend" dynamic all wrong.  Turkey's Erdogan hates the Kurds enough to be a friend of ISIS!
