Turkish invasion of NE Syria

[Petros Houhoulis]

I can't imagine he would be against it.

Kurd militias take advantage of every open-hearted and adventurous dude with some military experience wanting to get some action and fight for a cause, by using them as pawns against Assad and Turkey and for Marxism.

You'd better imagine it:

What is the stance of the Syrian government? - Dale

David Gritten, BBC Middle East online journalist: Before Turkey launched the offensive, a Syrian foreign ministry source said the government was determined to confront Turkish aggression "by all legitimate means". "The hostile behaviour of Erdogan's regime clearly shows Turkish expansionist ambitions in the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic," the source told the state news agency.
The source added that the government was "ready to embrace all of its misled citizens if they return to the righteous road in a way that would guarantee Syria's unity and territorial integrity", in an apparent reference to the Kurds and their allies.
President Assad has previously vowed to retake "every inch" of Syrian territory, whether by negotiations or military force. His government has also rejected Kurdish demands for autonomy, saying that "nobody in Syria accepts talk about independent entities or federalism".

I apologise what I said yesterday. I like the USA. But I dislike some of their policies only. Im not anti-semitic or racist. I dont know why I used that rhetoric but it wasnt right. I basically only dislike Erodgan and some policies of Turkey and USA. The USA arms sometimes terrorists from all sides. But I dont know what is good or not it is not easy to figure out. Im no pro in politics.

Thats exactly what i would expect to hear from a muslim caliphate like the EU..thanks for proving my point, morty!!

You do realize it's not our job to defend Syria from another NATO ally though right

Syrian Journalist: The West, Led By U.S., Knows Erdogan Has Been Supporting ISIS For Years, Yet Chooses To Ignore This


In an article titled "Erdogan's Terror, Which the West Ignores" in the London-based daily Al-Arab, 'Ali Qassem, a Syrian journalist residing in Tunisia, castigated the West for its stance towards Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He argued that the West, led by the U.S., knows that Erdogan has been directly and personally supporting ISIS and other terror organizations for years, yet chooses to ignore this fact and the extensive evidence that proves it. He also called out Erdogan for his hypocrisy, noting that he condemns the "terror" and "terrorists," meaning the Kurds who fight ISIS, while he himself has been sheltering ISIS, enabling its activity and providing it with resources and financial support since 2012. When it comes to spreading lies, said Qassem, Erdogan is "a faithful disciple of Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels" because he just "keeps lying, in hope that people will believe him even though the lie is obvious."
'Ali Qassem (Source: Al-Arab, London) The following are translated excerpts from his article:[1] "When Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan speaks about terror, what terror is he referring to? The terrorists he speaks about, are they the terrorists of ISIS and Al-Qaeda, or does he consider ISIS and Al-Qaeda to be saints? Erdogan says that whoever arms the terrorists... is party to [their] crimes and bears [responsibility] for the sin of shedding Muslim blood. That is what he stressed in his meeting with representatives of the Turkish diaspora and with [other] Muslims in New York, when he came there to attend the UN General Assembly. [But] the terrorists he hinted at, are they [actually] the people who are fighting ISIS, Al-Qaeda and the other jihadi groups [i.e., the Kurds]? "Erdogan, who personally helped ignite flames inside Syria, [and] who opened the Turkish borders to masses of refugees and then threatened to expel them from Turkey in order to pressure and blackmail Europe... is [now] wondering how it is possible to remain silent in the face of the Islamophobia, antisemitism and growing antagonism to immigrants and foreigners that prevail in the West. Anyone listening to Erdogan... might think he is Mother Theresa, rather than a dictator who is determined to fill Turkey's prisons with journalists and oppositionists... "The West, and especially the U.S., are well aware that Erdogan has been sheltering ISIS and proving it with financial assistance and [other] means since 2012. On orders from Turkish intelligence, Turkish customs officers help this organization's fighters cross the border to Syria and Iraq in droves... "Politicians are often forced to lie, [but] they are careful to keep their lies logical and therefore credible. Erdogan is different. When it comes to lying, he is a faithful disciple of Nazi propaganda minister [Joseph] Goebbels. He [just] keeps lying, in hope that people will believe him even though the lie is obvious. Most of the ISIS fighters who crossed into Syria and Iraq and declared the Islamic Caliphate there passed through Turkey. Proof of this is the fact that dozens of the fighters who were captured by the American Kurdish forces who helped the Americans were found to have Turkish stamps on their passports... "Another characteristic of Erdogan, in addition to lying, is mixing things up. According to him, these terror organizations serve only the interests of the imperialists, and he expresses sorrow that countries that purport to be democracies and to defend human rights ignore the crimes perpetrated by these organizations. Erdogan cannot say, 'I was misled,' because Turkey's sheltering of ISIS starts at the very top echelons of the Turkish leadership. In 2016, Wikileaks published 58,000 emails proving that Erdogan's son-in-law, Berat Albayrak, was involved in marketing stolen Syrian and Iraqi oil for the benefit of ISIS. Sümeyye Erdogan, the daughter of the Turkish president, established well-equipped medical centers in Urfa in southeastern Turkey, near the Syrian border, to care for wounded ISIS soldiers. There is extensive proof of Erdogan's direct and indirect support of ISIS and its affiliated terror groups. Why then does Western media insist on ignoring this?"

HOW THE FUCK do we have so many military bases??

Yet most of our population cannot locate these countries on a map!

It is the nature of today's most elite economic activity.

Turks are low IQ people so this was always expected.

Bombing civilians is hilarious. Thinking this will all go away is even more hilarious. Thinking Kurd commanders not about to enact some countermeasures in every Turk major city is hilarious.

Turks - your terrorists are in your cities and I can tell you right now they will be planning mass destruction. What are you going to do, you think bombing civilians is going to solve it.

They are ghosts to you and you have already lost due to as I said - low IQ dilemmas.

Whats even more worrying is the EU is in a deep spiral of faggotry - should most definitely support those being bombed not for them but for the influx of refugees these low IQ apes will unleash.

It has nothing to do with profit either. The Yankees failed to make a profit but instead sunk in debt after occupying the oil-rich Iraq, do you believe that the Turks have any chance to make a profit by taking over destroyed parts of Syria? No, they are just fooling themselves that they shall manage to relocate the refugees there, but the refugees don't want to return and the Turks shall have to pay them either they are in Syria or in Turkey...

You wrote here in this thread that you didn't know they were in Afghanistan. Did you know that the Taliban knocked out the opium trade when they ran the country ? They burned whole fields to a crisp and sentenced scores to death for it. Guess what started right after the American invasion ? And before you say that the Americans don't trade drugs ? Well let me tell you: they do. The country that got hit the hardest, this time, was not the United States (due to their own ineptitude and a combination of drug-addicted veterans coming home from Indochina being, together with blacks, the customer base) and Europe (this isn't the first time they put their allies at risk) but Russia.

As for the other interesting reason: lithium. It's as scarce as can be but Afghanistan was sitting on a stock without even knowing it. Plus there is, of course, a lot more: oil, gas, gold.. you name it.

[The Lawspeaker]

As for the United States: remember that Merkel called the multicultural society a "faillure" back in '12. Just months before "she" opened the border, she travelled to Washington and then came back with her new ideas. That was at a time that Obama started interfering in Syria. With Trump, we have seen that he would gladly allow his butt buddy Erdohitler to open the sluices on Europe to demographically replace Europeans as long as he gets his Trump Tower in Istanbul. In other words: if the Americans can make a quick buck, they wouldn't think twice but to do it over your fresh corpse after sticking a knife in it. Old family ties or no old family ties.

Let's be frank about it: Russians are cunts, they have always been cunts and they will always be cunts but I doubt this kind of American double crossing would cross their mind.

I cross fingers, kurds execute all the islamists prisonners they have before turk acheived to deliver them.
