Reality exposing Turkey's statements against Syrian Kurds are not based in fact.

Erdogan is using Propaganda and lies to justify taking territory and oil from Iraq and Syria. Lots of innocent people have been killed and wounded for his ego and power.

Erdogan & the Islamist Turks are NOT AMERICA’S FRIEND. Should there be repercussions to Turkey (and I hope there are) as a result of their illegal invasion of a sovereign neighboring country, the US & NATO should render ZERO assistance to them.

I could not care less if the Kurds attacked Turkey in the last 2000 years. Are you paid by the kurds to push their agenda here? WE DON’T CARE!!!

I’d find it amusing if Turkey were burned to the ground, the Muslims driven out, and the spot where Istanbul currently stands was renamed to Constantinople.
