Turkey claims it may invade Syria to fight ISIS after a Turkish soldier is killed and 32 civilians with a bomb. If they do invade Syria, what is do you think the objective is? Fight ISIS? Destabilize or fight the Kurds? Other?

The Turks will hit ISIS, as they say, as well as harass the Kurds. However, I believe it's unlikely they will surrender the territory they seized afterwards.

Turkey is no one to play with. Their military is very tough and their Government doesn't play games. If they are after ISIS then they are after ISIS. Now saying that will they take the opportunity to hit a few Kurdish targets? Extremely possible.
