thats been a question long awaiting an answer (turkey and the kurds)

Guy in California kept 13 of his children under house arrest.

Not one of them took drugs in that time.

Well, they belonged to some extreme christian church and as we all know: " Religion is the opium of the people".

If Christianity is the opium.....Islam is the Bath Salts......

The Turks are shit scared of a Kurdish homeland.
No wonder, since 1/7th of their own population are Kurdish and has been trodden down on hard.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Haha! Know that if you are out in the streets, the coppers will be on your necks! That Erdogan is quite the guy.


The peace loving Germans threatened that once too, to the Kurds.

Are these Kurds like the Palestinians? Does ANYONE actually like them?

 

[stig]

I don't get the part about Germany and the Kurds.
Can you elaborate.

 

[MasterBlaster]

If Christianity is the opium.....Islam is the Bath Salts......

That needs to be a bumper sticker.

I don't get the part about Germany and the Kurds.

Read where the Kurds in Germany got a little protesty one time and the Krauts threatened to deport all of them.

 

[stig]

Ah, that.
Germany has been very helpful to the Kurds in Iraq, so I wondered what you were getting at.

this is a good read on the Kurds. moderate Muslims, human rights, woman's rights, but socialists... and of course terrorists depending on who you ask I guess.

 

[FireFighterZero]

I read about them last night before I went to bed.

Interesting group.

As for being moderate Muslims....I suppose. Their history has been a bit terrorist-y though.

 

[FireFighterZero]

I dont think they like the term Socialists now Kevin.

Apparently the term now is Communalism?

 

[Mick!]

Terroristy/freedom fightery.

ATM we are being pitched that they are the latter.

Could all change tomorrow of course.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Yarp. One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.


I think Hillary Clinton said that...yep.

 

[FireFighterZero]

One thing that troubles me is the fact that there is no real outrage from the usual suspects.

Whats the real reason for the invasion?


Someone want control of the area for a pipe line? BP need some cheap oil leases?

 

[kevin bingham]

the Russians cleared out for them it sounds like. a deal got made. oil involved.

 

[Maximalist]

I thought this gringos was to blame. As always.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Yeah, I heard that the Russians pulled out.

 

[Maximalist]

You've heard a lot, but do not understand the meaning

 

[FireFighterZero]

Enlighten us.

Did the Russian troops not pull out of the Afrin ahead of the shelling?

 

[Maximalist]

I can not tell what's going on there. I was not there.
