Turkey isn't invading, its an incursion, they'll be gone in
days, aren't attacking civilians, trying to roust some domestic insurgents
they may have chased accross the border.
No civil war, its just a gesture.
I'm glad you have a crystal ball. Either that, or you may be in denial. Also, the difference between an "invasion" and an "incursion" is merely a propagandistic one.

I've also noticed you haven't provided any compelling evidence or arguments that Turkey is merely defending itself against "domestic insurgents." In fact, that's technically nonsensical, seeing as to how Turkey is attacking within Iraq in this case. And, in the broader sense, Turkey created this problem to begin with by expelling Kurds from villages and creating a refugee crisis (again, with US military aid), as well as formulating harsh assimiliation policies. With this general background compunded by recent Turkish attacks, there is every reason to believe Kurds might get upset, regroup in the spring and retaliate against Turkey.
