I have been told that the Rojava Peshmerga who have entered Rojava region of Syria feel and have acted on the same attitude. The so called Rojava Peshmerga were largely trained by Turkish MIT (intellience) and are loyal to Turkey more than to Kurds.
There is a current effort, which the US is in the middle of, to expose and kill the remaining Ezidi in Shingal Mountain area. Turkey's excuse? To remove PKK.
Turkey, Iran, and Saudi Arabia....
Should be target coordinates for US ICBMs....
And, we should let them in on that little fact.
100 years ago the Turkish genocide of Armenians. Today, Turkish genocide of Kurds?
What exactly is the process for cutting Turkey loose from NATO? How exactly are they our partner in anything? We’ll find a new airbase, lets move out of Incirlik...
Effectively, Turkey is vowing to attack Syria. Since Syria allows/supports the Kurds attacking/remaining in the regions which Turkey and their FSA are attacking.
So NATO allows/enables this invasion of a sovereign nation, by Turkey with no authority.
Some things never change.
Saw Rick Steves ‘travel hype’ the other day and he was in Turkey... You’d think it was the garden of Eden and the US is a sewer compared.
I’m real sick of his BS
If muslims aren’t killing Jews and Christians they are perfectly content to kill other muslims.
Left to their own devices they would just keep killing everyone until the only two humans left in the world were two mulims.
Then one of them would kill the other one.
The Kurds were always the best of the lot n Iraq s I’m a little confused as to whom the enemy is.
Kurds are not all Muslim. It depends on where they are as to the extent of that statement.
In Iraq, very high percentage of Muslim, except for Nineveh which was largely Christian. Note, the Peshmerga there refuses to arm the Christians.
In Shingal Mountains not high Muslim content. The Iraq Peshmerga don’t want the Ezidi’s armed. They would kill them all if allowed. We don’t appear to understand that.
In N Syria it depends on the community, but a fairly large Christian and Zorasterian content. They also leave atheists alone. And the numbers are increasing in both groups. Rojava is under sectarian rules there now. Syria in general, until ISIS, were not as oppressive to Christians, especially in the Kurdish area even before the war.
I’ve been thinking about the Armenians too. Wonder if they’s like to have some arms.
It was not invited and was in the beginning done in the name of killing ISIS. Which does not resonate, since Erdogan is an Islamist and with Obama & Hillary armed and trained Al Quaeda and ISIS precursors. Until very recently
Turkey also made a deal with ISIS for control of Al Bab. They only held a small part of the city and were bogged down for months there.
In that deal it is said a ME Oil nation paid large sum of money and ISIS left (some of the ISIS simply changed badges and joint the Terrorist surrogates of Turkey)
This is a mess. Largely caused by Gulf Oil money, Obama, Hillary and Erdogan.
I wish Flynn retained his job; I’m sure he would have done it well... but... he certainly lobbied for Turkey and I read that piece where he defended Turkey, very strategic as well. That’s some problem that needs fixing. I don’t agree with him on that.
The Kurds need to be given their own autonomous region. They will fight and continued to fight for that part of Turkey they believe is their’s.
Demographically, they are due to become the majority in Turkey.
With help from McCain, Graham and Rubio.
Assad helped kill American soldiers in Iraq under Bush’s war, Assad is one of the biggest ISIS collaborators around.
He calls us invaders because he doesn’t want us to see his sweetheart deals with ISIS.
Yes, Assad is an evil man. His father destroyed Lebanon. He is allied with Iran, don’t come any more evil. He is supported by Russia.
ISIS has been trying to take Assad down, ME Oil money was financing it, Obama, Hillary and Erdogan were parties to it.
Assad did not Support ISIS. (Arab militias he did)
Yes
Yes. Kurds and Ezidis.
David Duke praises Assad; a lot of this we hear really is just Russian propaganda.
LOL
The Interwebs are going crazy for FABULOUS Erdogan...
LOL
