It's going to be up to all of us to help make it matter.

He may have opened Pandora's Box and we now have no idea just how it will turn out before then.

Will this destroy NATO before then? If so, Trump will not be President, but escape to Russia leaving everyone else to clean up.

There are real possibilities for this situation spilling well out of control. Turkey has proxy militias doing a lot of the dirty work and it's unclear if they fully know what they are doing.

Ottoman Empire, it attempted to kill off the Armenians, and branched off into Greeks and Assyrians. The Ottomans were allied with the Quadruple Alliance in WWI, around the time of the massacres.
