NATO missions??Syria is not a member of NATO and if NATO sent troops, they would side with Turkey who is a NATO member. Who would NATO troops be fighting? Surely not the Kurds as they are US allies as is Turkey. If NATO troops went to Syria they would be bogged down for years. Besides the NATO countries wouldn't be willing to spend lives and treasure in another endless war. It's a complicated situation made by the unwanted presence of Turkey and Russia. This has turned into a matter that the UN was created to handle. Let the UN handle it and bring US troops home.
If NATO sent troops to Syria they would be fighting ISIS and keeping Turkey out of Syria, as well as keeping Assad and Russia out of the Kurdish areas. Isn't preventing a genocide of Kurds a worthy NATO mission?
If NATO won't do "endless wars" why should the US send troops to the ME to do "endless wars"? Trump is right to us pull out of Syria. I hope pulling US troops home from the EU and saving $24b a year is next on the agenda.
The UN can't do anything, never could. Talk is cheap. Turkey would just stonewall like Baghdad Bob in the old days.
Nothing is ever accomplished except by military force. In this case the extermination of Kurds.
Stop. Just stop, dope.
You obviously have no understanding of NATO or their mission.
How about that NATO mission in Afghanistan?

How about that "NATO" mission in Syria? aka UK & France in Syria? Call it NATO or not?

IMHO the EU NATO members have more skin in the game in Syria than the US military does. We wanted to eliminate the ISIS caliphate, mission accomplished, until Turkey and Erdogan upset the apple-cart.
Who gets to clean up the ISIS and migrant mess now? Hint: not the USA.
