Al Jazeera: Turkey expanding military operation in northern Syria: Erdogan

Does Turkey plan on occupying parts of Syria currently controlled by the US and Kurds? To do so requires the US to be forced out and I don't see the US getting kicked out.
Could this be a repeat, almost 1 year later, of the Russian debacle with their paramilitary forces losing badly to US-Kurdish forces?
Let's see if this actually happens. Last few times they threatened they did not execute.
I am more worried about the imminent attack from Russia against Ukraine. This was detailed here;
