Would they be outraged or would they agree that they had violated sovereign space and Iraq was justifies?
I think we all know the answer

they will ask Russia to kindly take out the tanks and trucks which have violated their nation's borders for way more than 16 seconds.

My guess is the Turks will leave Iraq in less than 48 hours.

I don't suppose Iraq can do much on its own.

In June 2014, when ISIL militia took over the city, they changed the name to Du'a city.

Yazidi civilians fled the city in 2014. The region has seen fighting between ISIL and Iraqi Peshmerga forces, but was under ISIL control in August 2015.

this news was posted yesterday and so it's not 48 hours folks It's less than 24 hours

they make that point in the article note

Baghdad (AFP) - Iraq on Sunday gave Turkey 48 hours to withdraw forces it said had entered the country illegally or face "all available options", including recourse to the UN Security Council.

It was Sunday ....not Monday ....clock is ticking and Turkey isn't going to withdraw

Here is the thing will the Shia look to Iran for aid to get Turkey out and not the US

No getting around it our foreign policy and strategy is blowing up in our faces right now

Turkey said on Monday it would not withdraw hundreds of soldiers who arrived last week at a base in northern Iraq

saw this on a reuters link

This is not Saddam's Iraq.

There is a war for political influence in Iraq right now, with Iran courting the current government and the U.S. trying to squelch their influence. If Turkey refuses to pull out, the Iraqi government could easily make some very public overtures to Iran for assistance. Iran, which has already been working overtime to expand their influence in Yemen and Syria, would no doubt jump at the opportunity. That would put the U.S. in a tough spot. We'd either have to side with our NATO ally and write Iraq off completely, or we'd have to bring pressure against Ankara to maintain our influence in Iraq and keep the Iranians from expanding their sphere even further.

Iran-Iraq relations are closer today than they have been in generations. If Iraq is being invaded by a NATO member and their "ally" the United States will not help them, there's almost no question that they'd turn to Iran for help. Iran already has a small number of military trainers an analysts in Iraq assisting the Iraqi army, and there's no way that Iran would just stand by while the Turks invaded the country.

What do they think they're going to do against the professional Turkish army?

that some number of Saudi Troops have joined the Turkish troops.
