Turkey is stealing a 30km wide coridor from a different country. If they want a safe zone, they could implement it on their side of the border.

  Turkey has been fighting with PKK for than 30 years now. I can say that having a safe zone within our borders didn't work so far.

      yes, according to famous book 'Art of War by sun tzu', you have to defeat the enemy at his place. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_War

        The enemy is in the heart of Erdogan. It’s corrupt and vile.

  I’m not condoning Turkey’s actions, but this reasoning only works assuming there is a functioning government capable of securing its own territory on the other side of the border and that is not currently the case. If hostile paramilitary forces were organizing attacks on the other side of the Mexican border at a time when the Mexican government and military itself had collapsed, I can promise you the US would have no problem establishing a safe zone beyond its formal borders.
