This conversation is pointless - the Kurd/Turkey dispute is incredibly complicated and one action, or inaction, is terribly oversimplifying things. India/Pakistan, China/Hong Kong, China/Taiwan, Syria/Kurd/Turkey, Iran/Isreael, etc... are way to intricate to look at a single thing in any kind of context.
Ukraine, however, is pretty simple. We signed a treaty and wiped our ass with it when the bell rang and we refused to answer. It's pretty cut and dry.
