If the Turks were attacking or about to attack someone, I’d be all for speaking up, maybe even standing up to do something about it.
Maybe, like in the case of Iran now.
We’re awfully anxious to appease the Iranians and awfully anxious to pick a fight with the Turks for no particular reason.
Yes, it was genocide. It was jihad, and it was genocide. Actually, when the Turks expelled the greeks right after WW1, they killed an awful lot of them, too.
And no, they still haven’t apologized for any of it and aren’t likely to. So, whats the point? We’re engaged in wars right now with people who are actually killing people. And we’re looking right down the barrel at a war with Iran. Seems silly to pick a fight with the Turks if the Armenian Republic is in the process of burying the hatchet.
What is the motive for bringing this onto the floor of congress? They aren’t busy enough taking over the american economy?
>>Seems silly to pick a fight with the Turks if the Armenian Republic is in the process of burying the hatchet.
Seems plain as day that if the interests of the Armenian Nation are of any value to anyone, then this piece of Congressional idiocy has certainly confined them economically, not to mention spiking any chances of them making a trip to Mt. Ararat, which I believe is right over the border and closed, like the entire border to any interaction with the Armenians.
But, it’s America, feelings and ineffectual, useless, impotent gestures seem to come naturally now.
