The fact is most America could not find Turkey on the map and couldn't care less. Sorry, Turkey just doesn't occupy much bandwidth in the American zeitgeist.
True!
Anti Turkish sentiment?
I'll care about Turkey next November.
Thay may have been true before the invasion, but it's certainly not true now. Americans are very aware that Turky has been mouthing a lot of anti-American sentiment.
Ignorance is nothing to be proud of.
Are you kidding? Turkey is one of the only places left on Earth where they still have time to make shotguns by hand. We must protect that.
Yeah, of all the countries we're angry with right now, Turkey is pretty far down the list. They've got a long way to go to match France. Canada is in second place I think, and they're pretty secure in their position also.
Agreed. However, what little band with Turkey gets and warrants is deservedly negative. After their betrayal and disallowing the 4th ID to open a northern front, I have no tolerance or sympathy for Turkey.
The Kurds are better allies and deserve their own country (if an Iraqi federation fails). The Kurds in Turkey, Iran, and Syria deserve to become part of greater Kurdistan as well. Turkey dug this hole by themselves, they will have to figure a way out on their own.
That is true however at this point if I had a choice of using the Mongol horde or the turks to make anything I'd buy, I'd choose Ulan Bater.
They couldn't find Mexico either.
