So tell me exactly why Turkey is bombing Syria?
The real reason - not some fake propaganda reason that the media is pushing.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72530568
The Kurds are an ethic minority with their own culture and language group that is distinctly non-Arabic and non-Persian/Farsi that have historically inhabited the mountainous borderlands between Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. They are not true nomads like Bedouins...but they have been living in a semi-nomadic/refugee state pretty much since the fall of the Ottoman Empire from having their culturally different neighbors fuck with incessantly in the power vacuum.
Remember when Sadaam “gassed his own people”? These were the civilians he gassed.
In 1977 the Kurds in Turkey embarked on a civil rights movement seeking fair treatment under the law, and end to economic discrimination/oppression and a recognition of cultural identity that is neither Turkish, Arab, or Persian...and failing that, they wanted a chunk of mud they could call their own instead of equal protection under the law was too much to ask.
The Turks took a real exception to this and riots begat small skirmishes which in turn begat a semi-civil war and guerrilla campaign seeking ethnic cleansing for about the next 13 years until 1991...because we pressed Turkey to leave them the FUCK alone since they acted valiantly during the Gulf War 1.0 and saved us THOUSANDS of US Casualties by providing us with boots on the ground intel, and guerilla assistance in northern Iraq.
The Kurds then went on to do so for nearly 30 years now throughout the Gulf War 2.0 and then again fighting ISIS in Syria for us.
We have three decades of trust, and military training invested in the Kurds and they are every bit as good as our own Special Forces. They are our “wild card” should a true war ever break out again in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Turkey, or even hypothetically with a re-established Soviet Union.
In exchange...we never had to give them billions in aid, bribe them, or agree to some shitty trade deal that fucks over US Companies, employees and consumers...all they’ve EVER asked from the United States is from time to time keep a tiny token force in our neck of the woods so their women and children are not carpet bombed, gassed, or worse and they could live their lives.
In this case, that token force was 50 lousy troops...hardly a game changer in defense spending as cocksucker claims it to be.
He just murdered 2 million civilians for Putin’s gain. On Putin’s Birthday.
Meanwhile, we still give $30 billion a year to the fucking Israeli’s who NEVER shed 1 drop of blood with us in any armed conflict, ever. Not 1 goddamn troop.
If that doesn’t make you suspicious of this fuck...then the country is lost. The United States will simply be too stupid to survive as we’ve known it.
