I don't disagree, but they certainly won't support the kurds' efforts against a NATO member.

Don't misunderstand that I think this is a) a good idea, or b) ultimately going to work out the way Turkey wants it to work out.

I don't think the kurds will choose to live and die by Afrin.

Yes, NATO as an organisation will hardly support Kurds either, but I can see that individual NATO members as well as other countries will start giving more and more moral and possibly economical support.

What the Kurds would need is surface to air missile, so they don't get slaughter from the air.

Is it even "likely" that you can shoot down a jet with an manually operated anti aircraft gun? Sure it's "possible"
