Slaughtering our Kurdish allies

[demi-conservative]

Demi, Turkey is no friend of the US, and never was. Unlike the Kurds who were our friends and allies

Turkey is and has been an actual ally, the PKK is not. Also, the 'Kurds' are not all the same. There are many different groups, the friendly peshmerga Kurds in Iraq are not the Syrian Kurds, the latter are the violent terrorist commies.

- you are on the wrong side here brother... Let me tell you, I have a number of friends who are big Trump supporters they are quite upset with what he did...

Then they don't understand that the Iraqi Kurds they worked with are different from the PKK, or they bought the BS that any cooperation with those that are violent terrorist commies was more any more than opportunistic and temporary.

How naive can they get, that working together with a group you officially recognise as a terrorist organisation against a worse one (ISIS), that is also a long-time enemy of a critical ally (Turkey), was going to be more than temporary. No one really expected such a thing to be permanent, not even the Kurds themselves. There is no alliance and no obligation to defend them

Wow. But I guess that was your goal, to say something that shocks some people on this website?

If I was you, I'd think a little more about what God thinks of such a comment. Because ultimately, He is who you'll answer to for that kind of public comment.

A true christian wouldn't celebrate the execution/murder of a handcuffed Kurdish POW.

The next time you get the urges to be a sanctimonious ass, remember your own burning hatred for Trump and take off that fake halo.

Demi is an all around fraud (remember the fake accent) disseminating divisive propaganda.

You and Jaepc thought I was actually Russian, how moronic and tin-foiled hatted.

Reminiscent of the powerful warnings that Obama gave Syria. You know that laughable non-existent "red line." Neither are even worth the paper the message was written on.

Most of this public display is kabuki for public consumption, with important communications behind the scenes. It's not meant to be worth anything.

Being offended at your callous disregard for the commitment of war crimes and the brutal taking of human life can only be described as 'being a sanctimonious ass' by a reprobate.

war crimes

and human life

The Turks and PKK have been killing each other for decades, imagine thinking this is significant.

We are not the most powerful nation in the world because of our aircraft carriers, our economy, or our seat at the United Nations Security Council. We are the most powerful nation in the world because we try to be the good guys. We are the most powerful nation in the world because our ideals of universal freedom and equality have been backed up by our belief that we were champions of justice, the protectors of the less fortunate.

Trump has lost the military.

I'm pretty sure the generals don't actually believe the PR BS to keep the eternal wars going. It's sad that Gabbard is the only major anti-war voice among the previous anti-war left, since that was maybe the only redeeming feature of the left.

Onion level ridiculous.

Never mind, my eyes were finally 'opened'. Kind of scary it took me that long to see it.

Once, as I was talking to a Slovenian grad student, I momentarily confused it with Slovakia.

For one thing Erdogon is a dictator, and no friend to the U.S. or NATO. And the only commie around here is you. The U.S allied with the Kurds and the Kurds did the fighting and the dying, and abandining them now to be slaughtered is not only immoral, but it gives to Russia the foothold in Syria that they've been wanting for some time.

I don't know if you're Russian or not, perhaps you're just a troll, but like Trump who does Putins bidding, you might as well be Russian too.

Given a difference between the former head of the special forces and a Q-anon conspiracy theorist, which would you choose?

Such an obvious sign of desperation, "he's a conspiracy theorist!" cries the well-known Russia-Trump and Trump-Ukraine conspiracy theorist.

Trump has lost the Senate.

Uh-huh. "He's going down this time, really!!!'

Turkey is part of NATO and is actually a US ally, and has been for many decades, you utter ignoramus. The only ally in that place that the US has is Turkey.

it gives to Russia the foothold in Syria that they've been wanting for some time.

Idiot, Russia already has a 'foothold' in Syria which is called Assad.

Right, but they don't deserve to be in NATO, Erdogon is a dictator and an ally in name only. Heck, Turkey helped out ISIS while the US was at war with them. With allies like Turkey, the U.S. and NATO don't need enemies. They're more of a Russian ally, buying Russian missile systems, than they are allies of NATO.

Idiot, Russia already has a 'foothold' in Syria which is called Assad.

Well, lets just say that Russia foothold in Syria just got a lot stronger thanks to your hero, i.e. Putins puppet, in the White House.
