They seem to be doing okay so far. It’s early though. I don’t know enough about NATO to know if there are any problems with getting an Article 5 for fighting a group that’s not really a state actor (despite what they call themselves or claim is their capitol).

A coordinated NATO mission is probably the only real way to shoehorn Turkey off its ass.

The obvious problem with organizing under NATO instead of say the UN is how Russia perceives things. The best possible solution is one that gets Putin to buy in on forcing Assad into some kind of retirement, and allows for the creation of a magical successor government that Sunni and Shia feel comfortable living under.

Basically, George Bush broke the region and nobody has any concrete idea of how to fix it.
