With the USA having pulled troops out of Syria, Turkey invaded Syria and assaulted the Kurds. The Russians sent an envoy to Damascus to make a deal between the Kurds and Syrian government to unite them against Turkey.  Iran, not happy the Turks, are in Syria and brought their troops to the border of Turkey.  Germany hits Turkey with sanctions.  As long as we were there, those forces were united against us.

Trump has pitted these former allies against each other.They are neutralizing each other, and it cost the U.S.zip.  Formerly, Turkey, Iran, Russia and Syria were united against USA.  Europeans were not involved and were enjoying U.S. protection of their interests.  Now, they are busy having to fight for their interests. This is good for Israel because Iran has to defend Syria against Turkey instead of focusing on Israel.Three enemies of Israel: Iran, Turkey and Syria are facing off against each other.  This invasion is going to cost Turkey dearly because it has brought unity between Syria and Kurds, and division between Russia, Turkey and Iran.

The Donald may be a pretty good chess player…
