Turkey invades North-Syria but noone cares

Why does the "west" condemn Russia's war but not Turkey's?
"We" sanction the Russian war of aggression. But if "our" NATO ally Turkey bombs Kurds, "we" prefer to look the other way.

My wild and speculative supposition is that "we" don´t care:

  • because Turkey is Nato, and if Nato commits war crimes, it´s actually ok
  • because Kurds are brown not white enough
  • because Erdogan is a needed bastard, that can be used for future “actions”.
  • because mainstream aka pro-nato-media does not tell its public to be angry

I am just curious and just want to understand how and why it´s seems like "we" measure with different standards…Once the Kurds were “heroes” -specially the female fighters- when they fought against IS but now it seems like Turkey can slaughter and rape them and noone gives an extra fuck. I just don´t understand this schizophrenia…
