Aryan in the context of language family is an outdated anachronistic (and loaded) term. Indo_European is the correct term for the family of languages.

I had to admit the history nerd in me laughed the whole way through that!

I think it’s really just that Obama doesn’t want to get in another war. That’s why he backed down on his “red line” with Assad as well. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. On this occasion he’s doing the right thing.

i agree upon reading your post. He has no desire for his “legacy” to be a third world war.

When US invaded Iraq, Turkey didn’t help, so why would it be a problem for the treaty if Turkey invade Syria and US didn’t help

That's hilarious. Turkey let the U.S. use their land for logistics, transportation, refueling, etc. Apparently it was VERY important.

I remember telling Freepers we shouldn't be catering to Turkey, especially about things like the Armenian holocaust. And they told me Turkey's help was TOO IMPORTANT and we had to do whatever they wanted.

“That’s hilarious. Turkey let the U.S. use their land for logistics, transportation, refueling, etc.”

Turkey refused to let the 4th ID transit their territory. It was a major impediment to the war plan. Conventional wisdom is that it resulted in additional US casualties, but that can never be known.

Turkey plays both ends against the middle. German and Canadian naval vessels are operating under a NATO flag in the eastern med now, trying to keep a lid on refugee migration. And the unspoken, unacknowledged gorilla in Germany’s living room are all the Turks who live and work and pay into their welfare state, and have for decades.

So you say in PC speak.
Aryan Is the correct term, but was made into an orphan terminology curse word after ww11.
Do you suggest that Buddha was incorrect when he wrote the Sevenfold Path- originally titled “The Aryan Way?”
I’m not disagreeing with you about anything except the word “correct”

What The Buddha said had zero to do with the historical/anthropological term for the Indo-European family of languages. "Aryan" as the term for the family of languages lost favor before Hitler because as linguistic and historical science progressed it was found to not be accurate.
